Obama Tries To Revive Global Warming Debate As Advisers Warn Him'Avoid Economic Arguments'

by Ian R Thorpe
Science is not one of Barack Obama's strengths according to the man himself. But what is? Not making speeches as anyone who has listened to or read one of his speeches rather than reading the burblings of sycophantic journalists who reported it will know. If we looks at Obama's latest speech on climate change it appears where he does excel is in pissing on his country's constitution,

Obama Tries To Revive Global Warming Debate As Advisers Warn Him'Avoid Economic Arguments'

by Ian R Thorpe

In another keynote speech filled with 'soaring rhetoric' (more cliches and banalities punctuated with personal pronouns, YAWN) President Barack Hussein Obama tried to revive the great global warming scare and thus divert attention from the stituation in Syria and the numerous scandals that have engulfed his administration recently.

Obama's fear - and panic mongering speech which compared the serious scientific debate among serious environmental scientists about the statistical frauds and pseudo science that the global waming scare was built on as a meeting of the flat earth society, Obama repeated that old 'The Science Is Settled" lie and them having stated opposition to his plans to save the planet by stuffing his billionaire cronies pockets full of taxpayers money he delivered a speech devoid of scientiticic evidence and big on emotional blackmail.

In keeepinmg with the Obama administration's recent track record on competence or lack of it, in advance of the speech a memo from an environmentalist group advising The President's speech writers how to frame the fear - and - panic case was leaked to the media. It advised that the speech should steer clear of specifics and concentrate on emotional appeals to peoples' fear. Here's an extract:

The memo, obtained by National Journal, includes a “do’s and don’t’s” list of phrases to use (and not use) when advocating for action on climate change. “Do discuss modernizing and retooling power plants and innovation that will create green jobs…Don’t try to suggest net job increases,”

“Do inform audiences about the nature of the problem, who is at fault, and what can be done…Don’t debate the increase in electricity rates. Instead pivot to health & clean air message.” Another one says: “Do use ‘cutting carbon pollution from power plants’…Don’t use ‘regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.’reads one part of the memo.

In other words fill them with fear about environmental catastrophes that will only occur if the worst case scenario is multiplied by ten but don't mention how much it is going to cost to save the planet from this imaginary disaster.

Ken Berlin, chair of the Energy & Environment Team, a group of national, state and local energy and climate leaders, distributed the memo to his group of about 1,300 people who have organized around these issues for the Obama campaign.

Berlin said the memo was written by the Climate Action Coalition, a new coalition of most major environmental groups. He added the umbrella group is coordinated in part by Kevin Curtis, who is also affiliated with The Climate Reality Project, an advocacy group founded by environmentalist and former Vice President Al Gore.

During last year’s Presidential campaign, the Obama campaign was determined that climate change staying firmly in the election’s background. There was some very smart logic going on there, because although Obama has promised his billionaire buddies they will be able to make $$$$$$$ out of green energy subsidies, carbon trading and such, the public no longer trust scientists, the environmental lobby or politicians. Obama supporters, organized environmentalists, and the academic lobby are all too perfectly well aware that further federal regulations and top-down control are going to have some very unpopular ripple effects. The Wall Street Journal nails it:

President Obama’s climate speech on Tuesday was grandiose even for him, but its surreal nature was its particular hallmark. Some 12 million Americans still can’t find work, real wages have fallen for five years, three-fourths of Americans now live paycheck to check, and the economy continues to plod along four years into a quasi-recovery. But there was the President in Georgetown, threatening more energy taxes and mandates that will ensure fewer jobs, still lower incomes and slower growth.

Mr. Obama’s “climate action plan” adds up to one of the most extensive reorganizations of the U.S. economy since the 1930s, imposed through administrative fiat and raw executive power. He wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% by 2020, but over his 6,500-word address he articulated no such goal for the unemployment rate or GDP. …

The higher costs will ripple through the energy chain, which is precisely Mr. Obama’s goal. Only by artificially raising the cost of carbon energy can he make even heavily subsidized “renewables” competitive. …

For all Obama's windbaggery about raising people into the middle class and creating a fairer, more equal society, his latest green initiatives are a highly regressive policy coming at a time of extended economic hardship and joblessness for many, it looks less like the president “Doing Something in the face of an Obstructionist Congress” and very much like the wannabe dictator deliberately skirting the democratic process and showing he holds democracy and his nation's constitution in contempt and will do what the hell he likes.

Too little too late, is the verdict of the brilliant Allister Heath on the Tories' near-non-existent recovery strategy. I'm 90 per cent with him.

Electricity bills set to rise to pay for wind farm subsidies
While sensible people agree that the climate is causing serious problems few people still think this is due solely to CO2 emissions from human activity. Even the author of Gaia theory has said the problem is more complex. Unfortunately climate scientists with their snouts in the tax money trough are still pushing the discredited idea that wind turbines and solar panels can meet our energy needs. Well if that is the case why are domestic fuel bills rising to pay for subsidies paid to the operators of these failed technologies. [ also Daily Stirrer 21 May 2012
