"Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods -- all are now more frequent and more intense. We can choose to believe that superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence," President Obama said in his State of the Union address. "Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science -- and act before it's too late."

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Ah, confusing weather with climate and by the American president no less.
Obama is a globalist first and foremost. The well informed among us know by now that the sun and it's sunspot activity is the main driver of weather AND overall climate. More and more unbiased and few honest scientists left on the planet are coming out to claim the sun as the main driver.
Obama is yet another corrupt politician who is still pushing the climate change scare...The motive is the keep the Saudis rich, energy expensive and reduce the power of the middle class around the world. It is part of the UN's goal called "Agenda 21"...Google it.
Gee, that list bears a striking resemblance to how one wag once described the Holy Roman Empire: "None of the above"
NONE of that stuff is true, slick.
Where did Obama get his science degree- from the Community Organiser College?
Obama's rhetoric is no different from any other anti-science leftist. Anyone who doesn't toe the party line is an anti-vaxxer or member of the Flat Earth Society
(please see here: http://tinyurl.com/cg7eo6g )
He does so to sound not simply clever but superior. Facts are extraordinarily convenient when confronting that illusion.
I wonder what someone from the dust storms of the 1930's would have to say?
This is interesting:
Stewart Brand: 4 environmental 'heresies'
http://www.ted.com/talks/stewart_brand_proclaims_4_environmental_heresies.html
Obama is just following in the foot steps of a long line of "experts" who were also clueless.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/alt.global-warming/SEXT3vTBgys
Man, I just can't wait for Harper to carve 'bama, Gore, Suzuki and all the other enviro-parasites new arseholes on this AGW crap.
Gonna happen any day now, right?
I mean, the Conservatives must be waiting for just the right moment to stand up and denounce it all, eh? You figure all the references to climate change will be off federal ministry sites by when..noon tomorrow? No eh?
Okay, how about next week?
Okay, is mid-summer out of the question?
As of May 3rd... actual US fire number and acreage. http://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/nfn.htm
Year to date:
Number of fires 13,115. 10yr(avg)= 23,431.
Acreage burned 153,277. 10yr(avg)= 911,820.
Only California is reporting more than 1 large fire. I'm just sick and tired of all of this BS... where 'a great crisis' is in reality not even average.
"Conservatives must be waiting for just the right moment to stand up and denounce it all, eh?"
Yes, yes they are Jamie,
We know you would love him to come right out and announce that AGW is bunk. All the media trained sheep would be lost as voters. Harper will have to slowly work on educating the low info voters. It's not what many of us conservatives want, but pragmatism is necessary when dealing with slimy leftists like Obama and you.
You commies think we can't read Alinsky?
Silly liberal.
"....with slimy leftists like Obama and you"
He, heee, heeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......
Now that's a classic.
Pragmatism is necessary. What a dickhead.
JM's no commie,just an impatient conservative.
Harper has to treat Canadian voters like neurotic mental patients or babies, because SO many panic at the thought of his denouncing their religion, Global Warming.
Harper will need at least another term to undo much of the damage done by forty years of Trudeau or his clones,so we have to be patient,and E-mail our MP's on every issue we hold near and dear.
And ,for those who don't have the patience to wait for Harper to do his work, just vote for Canada's saviour-in-waiting,Justin Trudeau, and HE will make fix!
Problem is DM, the longer our so-called conservatives stay silent, the more irreparable damage this AGW crap does to our economy.
Ontario - which up until a decade ago was the driver in Canada's economy - is heading straight for the bottom. This, in no small part, due to a disastrous energy policy and various pieces of environmental legislation visited upon us on because of this climate change BS.
Maybe, just maybe, if one of these supposed conservatives stood up and told the whole truth about AGW, they just might be surprised at the capacity of ordinary Canadians to absorb and appreciate the truth.
I just get tired of the excuses. Maybe it's time Harper and Co. took a crack at forming public opinion, instead of reacting what our media says it is.
Hmmmm. Discord.
"....the real menace are their useful idiots – the ordinary, decent, reasonable people who dignify this low-down Alinskyite technique by according it a credence and mainstream respectability it simply doesn't deserve..." Delingpole.

"Let me finish that sentence for you."
"...and, those hundreds of millions who know that climate change fear-mongering is a civilization-destroying crock, but have never taken one constructive step to stop it." MacMaster
-----------------
Without fuller context, me thinks it was an easy mistake to make.
To bad Superstorm Sandy was not that super, miles wide and a inch deep. Oh well it sounds nice anyhow.
wonder is Obama aware that the worst natural disaster in US history was the Galveston Hurricane and flood of 1900. At least 8000 lost their lives. The 2nd worst storm happened in 1928 with 2500 deaths, in the Okeechobee hurricane. Not sure if these storms were due to WGW or not.
"Hmmmm. Discord."
And considerable disappointment.
I agree with McMaster, we will not win or even stop the warmsters by turning the other cheek. Nor by being silent. I personally call out the AGW believers whenever they rear their ugly heads. They have nothing but their belief based on hearsay. I love watching their forehead veins bulging when they meet some solid resistance.
Don't be polite to the left, they do not deserve it.
That should have been MacMaster.
Mc Mac patty whack …. sorry.
Or, has dey say in dese parts, "Mc, Mac, tabarnac"
I'll miss the forest.
Not only that, but so are the Beaver Bites
"Never let a crisis, or a perceived crisis, go to waste."
If Obama were to say "Superstorm Sandy was not as strong as a storm that hit New York in the early 1800s and the 1950s had more hurricanes, including Hazel which killed 95 Americans, reaching New England so this is normal weather." there would be no need for the government to expand its power. Obama and the Democrats believe in big government; it is a central tenet of their ideology.
Strange that he didn't mention the coldest spring on record, isn't it?
"and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence"
freaky like you Barack Hussein:
http://freethinker.co.uk/2008/09/10/muslim-malcontents-urged-to-start-forest-fires/
http://publicintelligence.net/dhs-terrorist-interest-in-using-fire-as-a-weapon/
Nah, terrorism isn't even a term that is acceptable anymore, eh Obama.
For once, I would like someone to make up something that is actually good for society. Something like, "Scientists, over 20 years of intensive study, have made a positive correlation with illegal drug use and the user's offspring developing autism, allergic reactions to common foods and/or ADHD. Tests have shown that regardless of which parent used drugs (even on a very casual basis--ie. less than once a month)--there is an 88% chance their offspring will develop autism in utero, develop mild to severe allergies (usually to peanuts) and develop behavioural and developmental problems such as ADHD within the first five years of their life. The drugs that have been tested are: cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin and opium. Note that either sex is susceptible to passing on degraded genes due to drug use. People should ensure that a potential spouse has never used illegal drugs. There is a quick and simple test that will determine if a person has ever used illegal drugs that can be administered by your family physician or local clinic."
Then somebody should say: yeah...look at all the autistic children--we didn't have that many kids with autism 30 yrs ago. Look at all the kids allergic to peanuts...How about all the kids taking Ritalin for ADHD...there's gotta be something to that study...
If people can believe Jenny McCarthy's spiel on vaccines being bad...they're stupid enough to believe that.
