President Obama: Climate change is not a hoax

President Obama speaking about climate change at the 2012 Democratic National Convention: "And yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet -- because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They're a threat to our children's future. And in this election, you can do something about it."

Every planet in our solar system is heating up. Man made carbon contributes less than .001% towards warming. They want to suck more of your money. They are blood sucking parasites!

Your 7%, which is actually 9%, are just the 3 out of 33 companies that were in the DOE's loan program. Outside of that loan program 50 other government backed companies have either filed for bankruptcy or are considering. Bain isn't using tax payer dollars and the government shouldn't be investing money it doesn't even have, that's my point.

You don't see it, but it already started. Increasing fuel efficiency standards while couple that with cash for clunkers not only stimulated the economy, but reduced our emissions.

Gas prices need to increase further to have a positive effect on our emissions.

around 7% of the green energy companies that govt. invested in failed

around 22% of romney's investments in private sector failed

If this were the ONLY thing that Obama said that I agreed with, I would still feel compelled to vote for him. All the other stuff (e.g. economy, Iran, healthcare, etc.) isn't worth crap if we screw up the planet and poison the oceans.

Watch on youtube as Al Gore in his global warming movie shows a FAKE graph showing a line representing CO2 vs Time going backwards???? That is IMPOSSIBLE, a time line can only go forward unless Al has some sort of new physics he hasn't taold anyone about. Search for it on youtube - Al Gore's questionable line chart. If its not a hoax then why does Al need a FAKE graph?

I don't see why he has to wait until a second term in his carear as a president to start doing something... the scary part is that theres so many people cheering him on in that stadium and across the US. We're screwed.

[John Henry Eden]

Yes, Barrack, continue to invest tax payer's money into green energy companies that go bankrupt in a few months.

Continue to reduce? He hasn't started yet! He won't start to reduce emmisions. He will continue to allow emmisions to continue to accelerate as much as Romney would. Life on earth is finished. Tax carbon now.
