    At a news conference Wednesday, Obama said his administration has taken steps to combat global warming, such as sharply increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

    But he said, “we haven’t done as much as we need to” on global warming, which was virtually ignored during the presidential campaign until Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast.

    Obama did not outline specific legislation, but said he would talk with scientists, engineers and elected officials to find ways to make short-term progress to reduce carbon emissions. After that, he said the country should begin long-term efforts “to make sure that this is not something we’re passing on to future generations.”

    A conversation, or more likely a lecture.

    NYC just had 4-6 inches of snow in early November, and the liberals call this global warming – what would global cooling be?

    For some people on this blog to believe in global warming, they would have to move to Breezy Point, lie down in their bed on the second floor of their house by the Atlantic Ocean, and have a striped bass swim up to them and ask for a bite to eat. But hardly any Jews live in Breezy Point, so global warming is a fiction.
