Hillary endorses Obama climate plan, gets on the "slam skeptics" bandwagon

Steve Milloy writes:

Hillary Clinton endorsed the Obama climate plan and slammed coal industry in speech at the BIO conference this week. Clinton also hit the media for giving air time to skeptics.

The BIO audience erupted into applause at these comments— possibly because earlier in her interview she stated she favored states insuring biotech entrepreneurs against risk/loss.

Her climate comments begin at about 19:26 into the clip and run about 9 minutes. Audio video quality is not the best, but good enough.

Yet another reason not to vote for her should she attempt a run for the big chair. Disgusting woman.

Not really a surprise – preaching to the democrat choir is the least-effort path.
It can be a dangerous one, though, considering the dismal lack of interest of the general population on the issue, and how the next POTUS will have to face serious real problems instead of imaginary ones.

Wasn’t Hilary Clinton one of the young lawyers who fought against the Nixon excesses/Watergate?
Strange how she now appears to be in favour of skeptic McCarthyism!

Is there a single person left on this planet who doesn’t realize that this is now a purely political fight?
“Science” has nothing at all to do with this battle anymore. The left could not care less about “Science”, therefore no scientific evidence anyone produces will mean anything at all to them. This is all lies and demagoguery, all the time, meant deliberately to appeal to the stupidest and most reactionary elements of the population. There’s nothing left to the “climate change” issue than that, and yet that is huge.
That is why now the public pronouncements from Hillary and Obama have nothing at all to do with anything mundane like “evidence”, and are just juvenile name-calling and mockery. “Hey, look at those guys! We all hate them, amiright?”
That’s what the entire warmist movement, and the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself), has boiled down to. Nothing left but that.

So we just send the electric bills to her when they start skyrocketing?

A top news item today is “Millions of Americans cannot afford their Homes.”

Compared with households living in affordable housing, severely cost-burdened low-income households spend 39 percent less on food each month and 65 percent less on health care. “These cutbacks seriously undermine the basic well-being of low-income households,” the report says.

So the President, and Hilary by agreement, feel with 40 million home owners on the brink of solvency, this is the time to increase the burden on owners and renters by making electricity costs “skyrocket.” Force people tomorrow to give up the homes they cannot afford today. Disaster looms.
Do they want society to crash, or do they not see how actions are connected?
Stupid is as Stupid does.

Clinton must protect the two issues most important to the left … abortion and control by using the environment as an excuse.

“Do they want society to crash”
Yes. Of course the blame will be placed on someone or something else and the media will go right along with them.

You don’t think there are all ready REAL serious problems that should be addressed now? And I ain’t talkin’ silly cAGW shite.I used to wonder why all the smart hillbillies left Tenn. and headed to Canada,especially to Alberta/Saskatchewan,however it is becoming more clear(no insult to the people of Tenn).
We both have the same 3 problems….too darn many parasites called politicians,a broken educational system,and waayyyy to much nanny state. God help us both.

By the time Hillary gets into office, the Obama administration will have ensured that the middle east is in flames, eastern Europe crumbling as the Russians continue to explain to a dumbfounded west that he cold war never actually ended, western Europe shaking in their boot straps as they come to grips with the energy extortion policies they helped make possible for the Russians, Japan and South Korea and the Philippines and other Pacific Rim countries arming themselves to the teeth as they see what is happening in Europe and the Middle East and conclude that they had best be able to defend themselves by themselves from the likes of North Korea and China.
She’s not going to have a moment to spare on climate change. But she will take a moment to blame the whole mess on Bush.

The problem is both Obama and Hilary believe their own propaganda, that is, that AGW skeptics are a very small and noisy group. If they knew just how many diverse skeptics there were, they would not be so careless about alienating these voters. GK

Now where does SHE think the money is going to come from? She says $100 million is dirt poor!

See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-26/germany-s-new-coal-plants-push-power-glut-to-4-year-high.html
German and EU encouragement of wind and solar power and closure of nuclear power plants has been an unmitigated disaster, resulting only in substantial market distortions and a massive misallocation of capital and resources. It has been a comedy of the sort that only a massive, crazed bureaucracy can orchestrate.
If anything could have been done wrong, that’s exactly what they did.
First they encouraged the construction of intermittent, unreliable and expensive sources of electricity (wind and solar) through the use of massive subsidies and government mandates.
Then, they allow delusional fools (the eco-crazies) to force the closure of reliable, low-cost, baseload (non-carbon emitting) generators of electricity (nuclear).
Then they panic because the lights are about to go out and build a massive new fleet of reliable, low-cost baseload generators of electricity (coal) but continue to coerce the use of intermittent and unreliable wind and solar electricity.
An idiot couldn’t do any worse. You can’t make this stuff up.
And what do you end up with? $0.40/Kwh electricity.
The combination of dubious “science,” propaganda, eco-nutters and bureaucracy combined to produce the worst possible outcome.
Now we’ve got U.S. demagogues and the “world savers” of the media crusading to imitate Germany— this is what California, the EPA and the eco-nutters want to bring to a theater near you.

Silly Hilary. Though I am inclined to agree that we should not burn coal, not because I have any concern about co2 levels, I don’t, but because we only get about 0.5% of the energy out of the coal when we wastefully burn it, possibly much less.
We should extract the uranium and thorium from the coal and use that for energy, the remaining coal can be converted to various useful chemicals.

You have to forgive her…..she caught shrapnel in Bosnia

Hillary knows it’s a scam, but it is one that her cronies are benefiting by, in a huge way!

So which are you? Ideologically blind or merely out for a buck? (Pick one.)
So we just send the electric bills to her when they start skyrocketing?
Isn’t that supposed to come out of Obama’s stash?

Well it worked with “first black president” ( even if he’s not _that_ black ). Can he do it , “yes he can! “. Next time they’ll try the “first woman president” ploy: can she really do it ???? “yes she can”.
If that works, the next time around will probably the first transgender president. Can he/she really do it. “yes he/she can”.
Mind you, by that time they will probably have abolished the constitution to “save the planet”.
