It's hard to worry about "Global Warming" when you're freezing to death.
I watched President Obama's State of the Union speech last night and was surprised by two things. Sure there was all the promises that most State of the Union speeches contain, like the Government is now going to pay for everything including college and green job this and green job that.
The first thing that surprised me was how small the Global Warming section of his speech was, Obama even acknowledged the skeptics who then clapped.
He seemed to be reluctant to bring up the whole subject, it's like he knew that everyone knew that the jig was up, that the emperor was naked, but he still had to pretend like it was real. There was even some laughter from the audience.
The other thing that surprised me is he mentioned building Nuclear and Coal Power Plants and even mentioned off-shore development.
Maybe Obama has been reading the poll numbers and realized the Global Warming is now at the bottom of the list of things that Americans are worried about.
Or it could be the failure at Copenhagen that took the wind out of his sails or perhaps all the revelations coming out everyday now on how all the data has been manipulated to show a warming world. Even China is starting to get skeptical.
If Obama really wants to get jobs created in this nation, I think the best thing that he and the government can do is get out of the way. Now that we know that Global Warming is a hoax and a fraud and that CO2 is not a pollutant, all laws limiting or taxing CO2 emissions should be repealed. This would make energy cheaper and it would make production in the U.S. more profitable. Then maybe those jobs wouldn't have to be shipped to China where CO2 is not considered a pollutant.
I couldn't stand to listen to the whole speech in it's entirety so I didn't hear that the part you are refering to. I would love to hear that clip of him refering to the skeptics ! ( and them applauding)
I wouldn't hold your breath on any new nuke plants or drilling or anything else rational.
