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.

It looks like Bill has a reasonable shot at $500 million in speaker fees collected before the election. Of course this will not even be picked up by the MSM, or it will be a buried story. I hear they need a conference keynote speaker in Crimea and Pyongyang, NK.

How else is poor, broke, Hillary going to keep living high on the hog – with our tax dollars.

When you vote for Energy Experts like Hillary you get wonderful electrical service like they have in Venezuela

Clinton wheels out the old 97% myth and then adds an extra 1% for good measure.

I’m deaf (unlike Anthony I can’t fix mine) and can’t hear the video….did she really up it to 98%?
…I don’t doubt it, she can’t help exaggerating

What an absolutely hollow vessel. The claim that sceptics are in it for the money? Only a complete drongo would say that after the multi-billions poured into CAGW. Where are the multi-billions poured into the sceptical case?

Stephen Rasey asked: “Do they want society to crash, or do they not see how actions are connected?”
The left always feeds & grows off of chaos. Just study the history of Russia during the 20th century. It wasn’t until Reagan economically fought them to a standstill that the Soviet Union lost the cold war. Now that the U.S. is at an economic standstill, Russia is once again reasserting her hegemony.

Hillary gets a pass I’m afraid, due to:
Exhibit A: All scientific bodies bash skeptics as being deniers and crackpots.
Exhibit B: A history of Bible thumping Republican attacks on science means their support of skepticism is overall counterproductive.
Exhibit C: Proof of fraud has not been emphasized by skeptics in public, so we do not enjoy the underdogs’s advantage. Only fanatics such as sky dragon Tim Ball and his sidekick iron sun coauthor and registered sex offender Oliver Manuel, CIA mind control wackos like Steven Goddard, or outspoken creationists like Roy Spencer assert outright fraud so far and so accusations of fraud come off as fanatical. Mark Steyn is an exception, a reasonable whistleblower.
Politicians merely represent and Democrats are faithfully representing the public’s desire to support the calls for action by scientific bodies. Not enough pressure is being applied to working academics to reverse their support of fraud. This graph that proves fraud has *not* appeared on television nor in debates or testimony. Well, when you don’t deploy your atomic level weapons, you lose indeed against a gal who wrote her masters thesis on Alinsky:

Marc Morano, here’s your big stick. Please use it. I’m not invited to be on TV like you are.
It boggles the mind that Marcott 2013, the smoking gun of all time, has been lost in the noise instead if publicly exposed. Not even Steyn has mentioned it despite Mann’s active promotion of it.

Even though the pushers of vaccines would have us believe that they are the reason people have been living longer the past 100-150 years, there are those who say it is the bounty of clean water that did it. I have been wondering, however, if it wasn’t really the availability of “cheap energy” that did it. If you can afford the electric bill, you can afford to run the refrigerator to keep food from spoiling, or to otherwise preserve the food that is produced. What happens if you can no longer do that, say, because you’re shelling out so much for health insurance? What happens if food manufacturers and shippers can no longer keep food from spoiling in production or in transit? Well, I guess you first end up with lots of sickly and/or starving people, then you end up with lots of dead people. Who is it they say thinks the population of the world needs to be reduced to about 500 hundred million? Isn’t the same people who say coal and petroleum are evil?

Yes Latitude, she did indeed “settle the science” by another percentage point. The left in this country has become increasingly allergic to the truth in their rush to fulfill their indoctrinated “fundamental transformation” of this once great nation. They are at the same time vile and sad.
I remain a Democrat in name only and only to insure one less “glitch” in the delivery of any future needed health care.
Late 20’s Germany comes to mind. Yes, it’s getting THAT bad.

Bumper sticker spotted today in Seattle, WA: “I’m Ready For Hillary!”
It was on the rear window of a late model high end SUV and driven by a woman equivalent to Hillary’s age, physical condition, and (ahem) ‘attractiveness’. The SUV also had a “Stop the Coal Trains!” bumper sticker, a local eco-fanatic response to shipment of Montana and Wyoming based export coal through Washington state to the ports on the Washington pacific coast.
Trust me, folks. The greater Seattle area will vote +80% for Hillary… or any other jackass with a ‘D’ in front of their name on the ballot. She won’t even have to be above room temperature or capable of misting a mirror with an exhaled breath to garner that proportion of the vote here.

OK.
Suppose this political calculation by Hillary’s campaign doesn’t pan out.
She can simply paraphrase her defense of her Benghazi incompetence and ‘misleading statements’ as State Department head to cover her ‘climate’ incompetence.
Hillary, the Obama administration et.al., and all of the mainstream media at the time of the muslim terrorist attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, told us that the murder of a US embassy ambassador, a US embassy staffer, and 2 US marines who fought valiantly to protect them was a result of a ‘spontaneous muslim reaction to a video that was not flattering the profit mohammed’. In Congressional testimony, Hillary’s ‘unflattering mohammed video protest’ cover story was challenged by investigators and her honesty directly challenged. Her reply was “With All Due Respect! We Have FOUR Dead Americans! What Difference Does It Make?!”
This is the same Hillary that ‘hit the rest button’ with Putin’s Russia (How’d that work out???), refused to classify Boko Haram as an al qaeda-linked terrorist group, and has no tangible positive achievements as Secretary of State.
If the ‘climate change’ calculation should go against her by 2016, she will look right into the camera and clearly state: What Difference Does It Make?!”
Hillary, like her husband Bill’ary, and Our Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama have no shame, no conscience, and no remorse for their profoundly arrogant, selfish, and harmful actions.

More interesting is why Hank Paulson and Bloomberg were touting a carbon tax this week.
Both GOP.
Im a Dem and Hillary supporter BTW.
In spite of their AGW position.
Best thing for skeptics is to have Paulson supporting CAGW.
Obviously Goldman Sachs is pushing the meme.
Resuming KenLay and Enrons plan.

HILARY simply repeats the same old leftist memes of the Gloooooobal Waaaaaarming cult and expects people to blindly accept these completely disconfirmed assertions, which even the IPCC has been forced to admit are not supported by empirical evidence.
Leftists are, thankfully, doubling down on the CAGW scam at a time when the overwhelming empirical evidence against the CAGW hypothesis is within 5 years or so of being ompletely disconfirmed…
If leftists were smart, which thankfully they are not, they’d learn the lessons of Australia’s leftist party and realize CAGW has the potential to anhilate their leftist command and control power… But, alas, whether out of arrogance, hubris, naïveté, stupidity, ignorance, or a false assumption that leftists will always of be able to control the CAGW narrative regardless of reality, they remain oblivious…
GOOD! Just let the leftists attach their ideological cart to this dying jackass of a hypothesis and let them flog away… At some point, this dying jackass will eventually collapse dead on The Road to Serdom, and the leftists will look insane flogging this dead carcass screaming, “IT’s ALIVE, IT’s ALIVE, I TELL YOU!!!”…
The blowback from that image will be spectacular on leftists’ failed ideologies. It will be a major turning point in human history.

And, unbelievably, people gathered up at 3am this morning for a Hillary Clinton book signing at 11:30am in a Little Rock Wal~Mart. She was about an hour late.
And Mojo, just in case you hadn’t noticed, a new study shows that the average wealth of Americans is still 43% less than in 2007. It’s also down 36% from 2003… leave you to figure out glory years… you know…
Even up in the top 5% where net worth averages about $1.4 million, they’ve seen a 16% decline from 2007. Of course when you get up into really big money as you might guess this isn’t necessarily so at all, as their share of the national wealth continues to grow.

Mac your last paraghraph Mac 5.52Hillary, ” like her husband Bill’ary, and Our Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama have no shame, no conscience, and no remorse for their profoundly arrogant, selfish, and harmful actions”.
I could not agree more but since when has the W H had ANY influence . They are nothing but “poor people” remember?. Dead broke (laughing) when they left (and pillaged the WH), “working their buts off” for you the peasants, RIGHT?. Who then really are the people pushing the buttons?
