Obama Says Climate Change ‘Akin’ to ISIS Threat

[StormX]

The ramifications of a changing global climate will rival those of Islamic State attacks like the one last month in Paris, President Barack Obama said Tuesday.


In comments sure to reverberate across the Atlantic and rile hawkish congressional Republicans, Obama said the threats to U.S. and global security from climate change are already “akin” to an Islamic State terrorist attack.


Obama’s comments came moments before he wrapped up his participation in a Paris climate conference he helped organize, and echoed those of a senior White House official from Monday.


The White House ranks climate change among the top threats to the United States — and the “entire world,” Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, told reporters as the first day of the Paris conference ended.

Let me know when climate change starts beheading people and burning them alive. What a fucking idiot.

The world disagrees with you my racist friend.

since the libs are claiming that the ISIS threat is almost NIL in the US, I guess climate change must be as well?

No, it doesnt.

Florida loves no hurricanes.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Ridiculous, climate change is a much larger threat than ISIS.

Climate change is indeed a national security threat like NO other. But the analogy putting climate change and ISIS even in the same breath is just wrong.

ISIS threat is perhaps a few terrorist attacks over a few decades, climate change is an existential threat. There's no comparison.

No, it doesnt.

Perhaps not in your feeble mind. Pick up a newspaper. You may learn something.

Does Florida love losing its shoreline?

Pussy worried the world temperatures gonna rise a degree....

Most of the world realizes that small changes in average temperatures cause catastrophic changes to climate patterns, my racist friend. Just because you don't know things is no reason to laugh.

Maybe when the sunny beaches of Florida can be found in Valdosta, Georgia the illiterate pukes might give the idea at least a consideration. I don't intend to wait that long.

God, I would love to be able to visit Nantucket into October and not get so cold.......

91% of terrorist attacks in US since 9-11 have been from environmentalists. Obama should turn down the rhetoric

I am good with it. Stop being so conservative. Things change. Climate change is just progress. Accept the progress. Stop stressing out

Public support for a strong global deal on climate change has declined, according to a poll carried out in 20 countries.


Only four now have majorities in favour of their governments setting ambitious targets at a global conference in Paris.


In a similar poll before the Copenhagen meeting in 2009, eight countries had majorities favouring tough action. The poll has been provided to the BBC by research group GlobeScan.


Just under half of all those surveyed viewed climate change as a "very serious" problem this year, compared with 63% in 2009. The findings will make sober reading for global political leaders, who will gather in Paris next week for the start of the United Nations climate conference, known as COP21.


It's being billed as the best opportunity in six years to achieve a significant advance on tackling rising temperatures.

"The public are less concerned about climate change, and when you put that in the context of the climate conference in Paris, the findings show less support for an ambitious and binding agreement at a global level than there was ahead of COP15 in 2009 in Copenhagen," said Lionel Bellier, from GlobeScan.

Perhaps the “spreading awareness” and scaremongering have backfired....

They really should do a poll on what steps Warmists are taking within their own lives, and whether they are willing to give up things like fossil fuels, prosperity, affordable energy, etc, due to their beliefs.

Let's see if anything warned about comes to pass. So far warmers are batting .000 and it looks like the mini ice age from the 70s is on its way.

If you fill your head with nothing but a bunch of garbage conservative blogs sponsored by oil companies, as you do, I can see how you'd think that. If you've been living in reality the change is very clear.

Many things warned about on this issue have already come to pass. The only argument to that is at what speed it has come to pass. Like all predictive notions, none of them are perfect. I don't know what tables you're looking at but it appears to me that the warmers are batting about .995 against the average of .000 from the deniers.
