Uh, i-it\u2019s not just some tree hugger, you know, uhhh, sprout eatin\u2019 liberal thing. You know, the polar ice caps are melting. Temperatures are getting warmer in the oceans, and it could wreck (sic) havoc on our agriculture. It could increase insect-borne diseases.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I mean, it could really m-mess things up, making hurricanes and tornadoes much more powerful and change w-weather patterns fundamentally. So we\u2019ve got to take this seriously, and I\u2019ve got the most aggressive plan to try to roll back, uhh, global warming.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The bloom is off the rose here. This is amateur day in Scranton, Pennsylvania. &#8216;Well, global warming a serious problem, not just some, uhh, tree hugger, uhhh, sprout eatin\u2019 liberal thing.\u2019 That\u2019s exactly what it is. (laughing) &#8216;You know, polar ice caps are melting.\u2019 (laughing) I gotta hear this again. This guy is becoming laughable to me here. <\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Global warming is a serious problem. Uh, i-it\u2019s not just some tree hugger, you know, uhhh, sprout eatin\u2019 liberal thing. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re missing the prompter out there, are you?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: You know, the polar ice caps are melting. Temperatures are getting warmer in the oceans, and it could wreck (sic) havoc on our agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s &#8216;wreak\u2019 havoc, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: It could increase insect-borne diseases. I mean, it could really m-mess things up, making hurricanes and tornadoes much more powerful and change w-weather patterns fundamentally. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: So we\u2019ve got to take this seriously, and I\u2019ve got the most aggressive plan to try to roll back, uhh, global warming.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. He\u2019s going to lower the sea levels. (laughing) Here\u2019s the thing about that. I don\u2019t even&#8230; I\u2019m really reluctant to take it seriously to any degree at all, but global warming would help agriculture in a lot of parts of the world if it actually happened. The thing that kills agriculture is global cooling. He\u2019s missing the prompter here. &#8216;Not just some tree hugger, uh, sprout eatin\u2019 liberal, uh, thing.\u2019 By the way, from the BBC today: &#8216;The Environment Minister [in the UK] Sammy Wilson has angered green campaigners by describing their view on climate change as a &#8216;hysterical psuedo-religion\u2019. In an article in the News Letter, Mr. Wilson said he believed it occurred naturally and was not man-made. &#8216;Resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change, rather than King Canute-style vainly trying to stop it,\u2019 said the minister.\u2019 This guy is right. We can\u2019t stop it anyway. We\u2019ve adapted to these things all of our existence. Poor little Barry! Poor little Barry. I don\u2019t want to jump the gun here, but what happened to our Messiah? What happened to Mr. Infallible? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Obama is in Scranton and said this. OBAMA: Global warming is a serious problem.
