Obama Out-Gores Gore At Climate Summit

"Few challenges facing America -- and the world -- are more urgent than combating climate change" - Barack Obama.

Stop right there! Waging a Don Quixote style battle against the very forces of nature trumps all but a few challenges? Do these happen to include the immediate issue of collapsing international markets and their very real potential to spark a worldwide depression? Or assuring the denial of weapons of mass destruction to terrorists and rogue nations? Or evading the strangle hold our dependency on oil allows those same factions and governments to leverage over us? Or our deteriorating confidence in the safe stewardship of a nuclear weapons arsenal already in the hands of an Islamic State of dubious intent and political cohesion? Or the successful outcomes of wars currently waging in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or resolving our increasingly tenuous relationship with Russia? Or the "poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union or secrets from a scientist in Pakistan [that] could help build a bomb that detonates in Paris" Obama himself spoke of in his July "fellow citizen of the world" speech in Berlin?

Or, for that matter, any of countless bona fide and resolvable dangers the planet actually faces in the immediate future?

This article is a logical and methodical deconstruction of the idiocy behind the extremist positions of the environmentalists, positions that Obama publicly applauded. The cap and trade scheme that Obama is ready to foist on America will devastate our economy and lead to total socialist style control of every act of commerce. If we have an essentially socialist government of control, who cares if Obama denies that is his intent. It is of course the precise intent of the Marxist Messiah. Pretending to believe in this environmental nonsense is another of his stealth programs to take America down the road to socialist control.

The question is whether America will wake up before it is too late.
