Last week in Berlin, in front of a less than enthusiastic audience, President Obama declared that climate change was the global threat of our time. It seems terrorism is somewhere farther down on his list of global threats, although I am not sure where.
Tens, if not hundreds, of billions of American taxpayer dollars have been confiscated from our country and distributed to countries participating in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) under the guise of reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in an effort to stave off anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. Our government has embraced this climate change policy since March of 1994 and our wealth is being redistributed through the State Department, EPA, military, and other agencies within the current and past administrations.
When President Obama ran for office in 2007 he explained that his cap and trade plan would force coal plants into bankruptcy and promised that our energy costs would “necessarily skyrocket.” This is his “un-American way” of keeping the American people from being able to find employment, and keeping our economy stagnant. We are spending more money just to cover the costs of our rising energy, fuel, and food costs. Less discretionary money means less money is being spent in our local economies to help small businesses survive and thrive.
The president and his administration are doing everything they can to keep us from energy independence and security. It is wasting our tax money on green and renewable energy technologies that are extremely expensive and do not work, refusing to issue permits to drill for oil and approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which are preventing our economy from recovering and growing.
According to the Cato Institute our U. S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions have been steadily reducing and in 2012 were at substantially the same level as in 1992. In 2012 CO2 emissions rose globally while they continued to decrease in the United States.
This confiscatory theft of our tax money seems more like “the Chicago way” than “the American way.”
