The 841-page National Climate Assessment released by the US government last week has been described as “sobering”, but Americans do not appear sobered.
Story submitted by Eric Worrall
The Financial Times, a major international business newspaper, the main competitor to the Wall Street Journal, has just published an article, highlighting the insignificance of the impact Obama’s National Climate Assessment has had, on American public opinion.
According to the FT,
“Americans have been receiving such warnings for a decade. None has managed to rouse the country from its seeming indifference.”
“… the authors seem to have forgotten that weather is not the same thing as the climate.”.
“Former US ambassador to China Jon Huntsman wrote recently of having watched a debate at which “all the Republican candidates chuckled at a question on climate change – as if they had been asked about their belief in the Tooth Fairy””

The Wall street Journal summed it up this way:
Obama’s Climate Bomb
He’s flogging disaster scenarios to promote his political agenda.
Supervising the Earth’s climate—or at least believing humanity can achieve such miracles—may be the only political project grandiose enough for President Obama. So it shouldn’t surprise that after reforming health care and raising taxes, the White House is now getting the global-warming band back together, though it is still merely playing the old classics of unscientific panic.
On Wednesday the White House released the quadrennial National Climate Assessment, an 829-page report.

Pamela,
If you are any sort of example of a modern public educator then please stop. Your nasty, brutish attacks are quite unconvincing …. Face it you are defending the indefensible and getting quite angry in the process and convincing nobody that Common Core has any merit. In fact most of what you cite as supposed strengths make it obvious that its just another attempt by over educated elites to “prove” how smart they are and create yet another layer of bureaucracy in the local school systems.
Yes, I know its “for the children” … stop trying to help, its your type of help that brought us to this.
BTW, have you renounced your Teachers Union membership yet ? .didn’t think so …
You are not as smart as you think you are and frankly appear to be quite a nasty piece of work.
