Obama says momentum growing for climate-change legislation

Full story: Los Angeles Times

Reporting from Arcadia, Fla. - President Obama declared Tuesday that a "consensus is building" around climate-change legislation and characterized opponents as preoccupied with the past instead of a "clean-energy future." Standing on the edge of a large solar-power plant here, Obama urged the Senate to pass a measure that caps carbon emissions and ...

Sorry, but momentum isn't growing in the slightest for climate-change legislation, because better than 50% of the people in this country have realized that there is no such thing as 'man-made climate change' and that the ONLY thing changing our climate is the sun, which means that we should just get used to our climate changing, because there is jackall we can do to stop it.

[Quote from story]
The visit coincided with an announcement by the Obama administration that it will invest $3.4 billion in stimulus funds to modernize the nation's energy grid. About 100 private companies and utilities will receive grants of as much as $200 million each to help build a nationwide "smart grid" meant to improve energy delivery and boost the use of renewable energy sources. Glendale and Burbank each received a $20-million grant to install smart meters to better track water and electricity use.[End Quote]
Clinton tried to push this "smart meter" bullshit, too. The consumer is going to pay to be imprisoned in their own space if this crap isn't nipped soon.

What the hell is he listening to or reading. All the polls I've read indicate that fewer and fewer Americans believe in man made climate change. Is the man on crack?

I find it encouraging and somewhat invigorating to hear of the consensus growing over the necessity for climate reform as it implies a general rise in overall intelligence amongst the masses...Unlike those of you here.

NOT true. The American people are actually waking up over the so-called global warming.

I think it is that negative mindset that prevents us from reaching this man's vision. A lot of people scoffed at a man who dreamed he could fly but look at our planes now? We need to have that mindset that we can change the world. that we can make a difference. Although I respect their perception on the matter, please respect mine as well.

Most people world wide accept AGW, since the overwhelming majority of scientists accept AGW, and although there are a fair number willing to stick their head in the sand, it certainly isnt' most. Most people in this country accept the fact that AGW is taking place.

Whether they support cap and trade to deal with it is still up the air, Cap and trade hasn't been fully outlined yet, nor have comprehensive polls been done.

More people believe in haunted houses than believe in global warming, so I don't know where Obama gets his figures from.

CTEd,

Numbers dont matter in science. Its not a democratic process.

Many scientists are coming out and questioning AGW; it could even be said more disagree than agree. There is NO consensus.

It seems pretty clear that world wide (not on Faux News) there is a clear consenus among the world's scientists on climate change. The science is settled. Governments areound the world didn't get together at Kyoto and keep addressing climate change based on nothing. You think every governmetn world wide would be addressing this if their own scientists were saying the opposite?

CTEd,

Don't bother with Fox News. I rarely if ever pay attention to them. If you're getting your 'facts' on global warming from the mainstream media, no wonder you have a view that is so completely wrong. That bullshit about a scientific consensus and the discussion being over is only repeated by the media, over and over and over, as though repeating a lie a million times makes it true. Well, it doesn't.

Thousands of scientists dispute AGW and do not believe our emissions of CO2 run the climate at all. Governments worldwide are funding these people billions of dollars to 'research'- an unheard of amount- and they continue to churn out more radical and increasingly inaccurate predictions and dire reports. It wasn't too long ago so many 'experts' were convincing us of 'global cooling' and all the danger of it- warning of the same catastrophes that are warned of now. The IPCC was completely botched. And note: The IPCC. InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change.

Politicians have always been chomping at the bit to save us all from popular 'dangers'. Now the scientists are catching on. They have learned how alot of money and power from enviromentalists and politicians can create a giant grant-making machine that instills hysteria-fueled by little more than a small, moderate warming period.

In past years, REAL scientists have continued to voice strong skepticism. From the "Statement of Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming" to the "Heidelberg Appeal" to the " Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change" to the "Oregon Petition", we see NO consensus. We see hundreds of scientists who actually have experience regarding climate and all the fields that go with this complicated theory say that what the media and politicians are saying is simply not true.

I think that in the field of science, there can be no consensus. There would always be disputes, debates and questions. I mean, I guess that's what science is all about. Asking questions.
