President Obama is urging developing countries to get on the global warming hysteria bandwagon. According to this AP article:
President Barack Obama said Thursday the global recession makes it harder to strike an international agreement to battle dangerous temperature increases, but he urged the poor emerging economies that rejected specific clean-energy goals to “fight the temptation toward cynicism” and embrace them soon….
One more excerpt:
Obama began his agenda Thursday by meeting with Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to discuss climate change, Iran and other issues. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Silva gave no ground on the greenhouse gas-reduction question.
1) Dangerous Temperature Increases? Really?
“Global temperatures have declined–extending the current downtrend to 11 years with a particularly rapid decline in 2007-08…At the same time, atmospheric CO2 levels have continued to increase and CO2 emissions have accelerated.” [I corrected the year–it mistakenly said 1907-08].
This comes from the EPA–it comes from the report the Administration apparently tried to cover-up. Not that there’s any question about the decline in temperatures.
According to Climate Depot, the Earth has cooled .74?F since former Vice President Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006.
President Obama apparently is a global cooling denier. What about the children, Mr. President? Protect them from the cold.
2) Thank you President Silva!

Low-cost energy is the path to becoming a prosperous country. The developing countries know this, and because of some extremists, the developed countries have forgotten this. As I regularly say, the environmental extremist movement is anti-poor, regardless of whether it is pushing policies that hurt the poor in our own country or the poor in other countries.
