Obama is Lying About “Climate Change”- Proof from Recent Senate Hearings

Obama lying

President Obama clearly thinks that America is in the midst of a crisis called “climate change” and that the solution to this crisis hinges upon our nation’s energy policy. But do most Americans agree?

At the Senate hearing which took place last week, Obama’s climate change lies came to surface once again. Obama’s use of the Environmental Protection Agency to impose costly new restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions in America and to expand upon his climate change agenda also became self-evident.

The hearing, entitled “Climate Change: It’s Happening Now”, revealed “inspiring” statements and “proof” by the Democratic witnesses to the committee that climate change was, indeed, real and happening now.

The hearing consisted of two panels; each with three expert witnesses invited by the Democrats. The Republicans were allowed two “skeptics” to testify as to their position.

For the minority view, Roger Pielke, Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado argued the following point: “It is misleading, and just plain incorrect, to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate time scales either in the United States or globally. It is further incorrect to associate the increasing costs of disasters with the emission of greenhouse gases.”

Pielke’s testimony presented these clear facts:

Globally, weather-related losses have not increased since 1990 as a proportion of GDP, but in fact they have decreased by about 25 percent.
Insured catastrophe losses have not increased as a proportion of GDP since 1960. Hurricanes have not increased in the U.S. in frequency, intensity, or normalized damage since at least 1900.
Floods have not increased in the U.S. in frequency or intensity since at least 1950.
Tornadoes have not increased in frequency, intensity, or normalized damage since 1950, and there is some evidence to suggest that they have actually declined.
Droughts have, for the most part, become shorter, less frequent, and have been covering a smaller portion of the U.S. over the past century.

While most at the hearing supported the majority “alarmist” point of view, including the “solutions” proposed – involving taxes on carbon, recent surveys indicate that the rest of America doesn’t agree that climate change is a serious problem. In a list of the top concerns of the American people, “climate change” comes in at only number twenty-one.

Former Republican Presidential advisor Diana Furchtgott-Roth stated in her written testimony: “Americans know that no reduction in global warming will occur if America reduces greenhouse gases without similar action by China and India, and these countries have not agreed to comparable steps.”
