Obama science adviser calls for ‘war on coal’

[JBond]

Fantastic news! Higher energy prices! Yea! Go Barry, go!

King Barry has decided congress is not needed and will issues decrees from his throne regarding coal plants.

I wonder how many billions of tax dollars he wants to redistribute to his campaign buddies this time? The moron, Michael Mann, in a separate article claimed the last 10 years are the hottest on record. Are there really that many gullible people out there that believe this crap? A refresher on Mann....He is the POS phony that destroyed the baseline temp readings after being paid by the government to publish a doctored version of them to justify more taxes and higher energy prices. I would like to ram a hockey stick up his ass.

A Harvard University geochemist who serves as a scientific adviser to President Obama is urging the administration to wage a “war on coal.”

“The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants,” Daniel P. Schrag, a member of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, told the New York Times. ”Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.”

The remarks come on the eve of a much-anticipated climate change speech from the president Tuesday at Georgetown University.

Conservatives on social media instantly seized on the quote, arguing that they believe that’s the administration’s true motives when it comes to climate change.

Schrag, a longtime advocate of capping carbon emissions, is a respected academic who has researched the impact of global warming. While he sits on a group of scientific advisers that provides advice to the president through the Office of Science and Technology Policy, he is not closely involved in setting regulatory policy for the White House.

President Obama is launching fresh battles over climate change with plans to curb emissions using executive powers that sidestep Congress — including controversial rules to cut carbon pollution from existing power plants.

The wide-ranging plan, which Obama will tout in a speech later Tuesday, also beefs up federal efforts to help deploy low-carbon and renewable energy, and has programs to help harden communities against climate-fueled extreme weather.

“We don’t measure warming by whether individual years are warmer than other individual years, but by whether or not the overall decadal trend shows warming. The past decade was the warmest decade on record. By that metric, global warming proceeds unabated,” said Michael Mann, a climate scientist with Pennsylvania State University.

Obviously the only things Obama has the belly to assault are the people of this country.

They'll be going up further, once they implement the entire program in the U.S.

"Under my plan,energy prices will necessarily skyrocket".
-Candidate Obama,January 2008.

He promised to unite, but has been the most divisive POTUS in the history of the country.
He promised to cut he deficit in half,instead his policies have added over 6 trillion to the national debt.
He promised transparency,and he has delivered.We all can see he hates America.Make no mistake about it.

Every country has the government it deserves.
