Guest essay by Eric Worrall
The Guardian is fretting the the number of times US Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton mentions climate has apparently dropped dramatically since she received an endorsement from Bernie Sanders.
But what is the real Clinton position on Climate Change?
Hillary Clinton ‘dropped climate change from speeches after Bernie Sanders endorsement’
Transcripts show the Democratic presidential nominee referred to climate change directly in less than half as many speeches after her left-wing rival conceded defeat, reports Climate Home.
…
The rhetorical shift undermines hopes that climate change might emerge as a key campaign issue in 2016. Boosted by the disparity between Clinton and her Republican opponent Donald Trump, a self-professed non-believer in climate change.
Indeed, the signs were there. During the last six months of Clinton’s primary campaign against Sanders, the transcript log of her speeches shows she was talking about climate change at one out of every two speeches she gave.
But since Sanders endorsed Clinton on July 12, the full focus of the Clinton campaign has swung to Trump. In 38 speeches since that date, Clinton mentioned climate change specifically eight times. Just once every five public addresses.
…
The Guardian speculates that Hillary might just be downplaying her climate views, as they suggest President Obama did in his first term, to avoid upsetting potential supporters. The Guardian seems to think this might be the right thing to do.
…
Climate coyness was a feature of Obama’s first term (when Axelrod was at the White House). According to analysis of speeches from 2008 to 2011, climate change was hardly mentioned even as Obama began to ramp up funding for climate-related projects.
“He was doing more than he was talking about because he was going incognito to avoid attacks from the Republicans,” said Timmons Roberts, Ittleson professor of environmental studies at Brown University, who conducted the analysis.

Influential climate activist and Bernie supporter Bill McKibben supports Clinton because he believes in her strong climate views;
…
In fact, one of the lowest points in my years of fighting climate change came in late June, when I sat on the commission appointed to draft the Democratic Party platform. (I was a Sanders appointee, alongside Cornel West and other luminaries.) At 11 p.m. on a Friday night, in a mostly deserted hotel ballroom in St. Louis, I was given an hour to offer nine amendments to the platform to address climate change. More bike paths passed by unanimous consent, but all the semi-hard things that might begin to make a real difference—a fracking ban, a carbon tax, a prohibition against drilling or mining fossil fuels on public lands, a climate litmus test for new developments, an end to World Bank financing of fossil fuel plants—were defeated by 7–6 tallies, with the Clinton appointees voting as a bloc. They were quite concerned about climate change, they insisted, but a “phased-down” approach would be best. There was the faintest whiff of Munich about it.
…
To my surprise, things changed a couple weeks later, when the final deliberations over the Democratic platform were held in Orlando. While Clinton’s negotiators still wouldn’t support a ban on fracking or a carbon tax, they did agree we needed to “price” carbon, that wind and sun should be given priority over natural gas, and that any federal policy that worsened global warming should be rejected.

I support the view that Clinton toning down her climate rhetoric is a political tactic. Given the commitment to carbon pricing at the Democratic Convention, there is no reason to believe Clinton intends to prioritise access to cheap energy ahead of wasteful government subsidies for renewables. And given that climate is widely perceived to be a “poisonous” issue for many voters, it makes tactical sense for Clinton to avoid references to the hardline green policies which McKibben claims were agreed by Democratic delegates in St. Louis.

Plot it against the polling numbers to get an explanation. Otherwise they will tell you what you need to know after the election after they finish the claimed mandate list. And it will only be what you need to know, if that much.
Once Islamics take over Europe in a few decades climate “change” will be a dead issue and the U.S. may be be the only one still interested; oh wait I forgot about our Hispanic takeover so we won’t care either…….

BFL: Thanks for the Steyn reference, He begins so many sentences with, “Ten years ago I wrote…” in columns on so many current news topics, it’s scary! As for Hillary, I am reminded how Al Gore ran in 2000 by avoiding CC (GW back then) and environmental issues in general. He was able to do that because the press corp agreed with him; knew where he stood; knew “exposing” some of his whacky green-activist positions would hurt him with most voters; so he never faced any hard questions on CC or environment lunacy. Hillary is able to do this on virtually any subject, the progressive press will not go after any subject that might make her look bad to people who are deplorable (namely, me and maybe you)(press agrees with her on that, too). Thing is, Hillary can be bought, and if Warren Buffet decides to sell his RR oil shipping shares and buy coal (cheap!), and sends the Clinton Foundation a hundred mil or so, Hillary will find a way to “triangulate” a revival of coal (all she would need to do is pull the EPA’s foot off coal cos. necks, and tell her green friends she wasn’t doing that at all). Am I too cynical to think she’d lie to her friends?

Once the Protection Racket wins its shot at the General Election, they don’t have much to worry about in the way of competition for boutique PC issues. Who are they going to vote for?.
Besides, why worry about voters when your cash machine is firmly planted between the government and whatever kickback you want?
She is toast anyway. Her neurological problems were evident in her left eye movements at the Temple speech in Phia. She lost coordination in eye movement. The left eye turned horribly inwards to her nose while the right eye was viewing full forward.
In any event, the fact that she would state anything that is the expedient of the past femto-second is unsurprising.
Its just the camera angle…
I’m sure you can provide a picture from that very camera angle at that very speech, to prove your claim.
Yes, more wishful thinking than anything else IMO.
The number of medical ‘incidents’ is looking worrying, but don’t hold your breath about here falling over before the election. The devil takes care of his own.
I was quite amazed when I found out about the Clinton Defence Fund and how many times she’s been fined. Trump ain’t joking when he calls her crooked Hillary. The problem is he says so many outrageous things that no one takes much notice.
I’m sure that’s what your handlers told you to say.
That is the eye that she wore the prism glasses on for double vision problems after the head injury/blood clot in a venous brain drain circuit and which clot type almost never goes completely away (so still may have brain pressure issues). So could still be having problems with that eye which wouldn’t be a sign that all is okay. Then there is the finger squeeze (supposedly) neurological quicky test at 911 event, the blue Z1 glasses for preventing light flash seizures and also leg weakness, but most assuredly she is is in nearly perfect health except for the required recuperation rest schedule from the “pneumonia”.
Grif u say the most illogical things …. please give some proof of the camera angle causing that eye offset.
However your eye observation skills far exceed your climate science knowledge 😉
..Well, I hope you were trying to make a joke Griff, because that was the dumbest statement of the Century if you actually meant it ?
Never stop trying to sell it, do you, Grift?
And to think, just yesterday he was trying to convince everyone that he’s a conservative.
Griff, she wore Fresnel lens glasses when she testified before Congress regarding Benghazi . . so either that was her just being silly or she was experiencing problems such as we see in this case .. take your pick, I guess ; )
Dearest Griff. Throughout the Philly speech? For her I am afraid. I have a Master of Neuroscience and believe me when I say that the ‘eye oddities are not due to your ”camera angles”!
I am sure that Mr Trump is being briefed by his aides to ask her provocative questions such that they will invoke her neurological problems to maximum effect to the benefit of both Mr Trump and the Republican party! (and the American people).
Its just the way it looks in that one still. Rest of video looks fine to me.
http://www.snopes.com/clinton-bizarre-eye-movements/
“The caption on the video claimed it was taken from a speech Clinton delivered on 19 September 2016 in Philadelphia. Although that video is zoomed in close on Hillary Clinton’s face, the full video of her speech reveals nothing particularly strange or alarming about her eye movements”
Yes, just like the Black Knight’s “its just a flesh wound”.
My estimation, is that Clinton suffers from pettit-mal epilepsy. A condition I have lived alongside for years, and can recognise its symptoms from a mile away.
In petit-mal, the patient does not fall over, they just stand there in a trance, as if switched off. They are completely unresponsive, although may whisper incoherently, and the eyes lose focus and stare into the middle distance. They can also be led by the shoulder and arm to a place of more safety, like a sofa, and they will walk with small steps as if in a dream, but may stumble and fall if led over uneven ground.
And while medication is available for this condition, prescriptions like epiIim can send the patient into a stupour. If Clinton wants to stay sharp for debates and cameras, she cannot take this type of medication. But the wearing of Zeiss blue glasses is known to reduce episodes, if they are triggered by sunlight. And Clinton was indeed wearing Zeiss blue sunglasses, on a day when nobody else was wearing sunglasses.
But if this is a realistic diognosis, it will be difficult to keep secret for long, as patients normally have regular (daily) events. Yet the calm response of the security detail may indicate this is already the case. Nobody seemed surprised that she became a walking, stumbling robot, and then a deadweight sack of potatos – they just took their positions to assist and to shield the event from the cameras. This rather suggests that this is already a regular event, and they have a routine in place to deal with it.

Thanks, ShrNfr, easy to find on Youtube. Anyone watching this can see she is not well in some serious way. While she reads competently from her notes, there is little energy. However, it is her generally comportment that is disturbing. There are the eyes, head bobs, the strange gurning smile, the weird looking upwards faces. The speech barely goes for 30 minutes and starts about a minute after she climbs to the stage. There is a Getty photo showing her being assisted up the stairs. After the speech, there is barely a minute more on stage (with assistants materialising in force to be within arms reach of her) and then she is wisked away.
Obviously, this was a good day.
“Gurning”, what a wonderful word! Thanks…
Like “making a face” in American, but with just a bit of derision in the sound of it…
…she just forgot
This one’s much more interesting. No idea whether it’s faked of course, but if it is it’s well done.
funny but fake
As if the cheap music (Production Score) isn’t a clue to the clip’s artificiality and the 32 second intro of self promotion of the responsible group, the eye motions are quite obviously faked by the producers
Now that’s funny! Obviously a shape shifting alien.
Fly on her nose.
Hmmmmm….. I don’t think she’s funny but she sure is fake!
Another one doing the rounds it that it was body double who came out of Chelsea’s apartment. I suggest anyone wanting to check that compares images of Clinton arriving at 9/11 memorial site and images of here getting into her SUV after the photo op. at the appt.
Look at the ear shape. You could find a good look alike but you are very unlikely to find one with the same ears !
Ears look the same to me. Don’t get excited, she’s not dead yet. !
Wasn’t Marty Feldman her brother ?

Well for Griff’s information, the camera angle is quite obvious, specially to optical engineers.
The Camera is straight out in front of the center of that picture.
Clinton may be looking towards her right, but the camera sure isn’t. How come only her left eye is off kilter WRT everything else in the entire picture.
And by the way; I am NOT endorsing the claim that this picture shows her eyes are out of whack.
They may be, but a person with quite normal vision (not me) could separate their eye pointing this much.
I have a retinal blind spot in my right eye towards the lower left. I can’t see anything that is close to my face and below my left cheek, with my right eye. So If I look at something in that general vicinity, I’m sure my right eye and left eye pick different optical axes to get the best view for each eye.
Cameras don’t have the optical problems my eye has.

Perhaps it’s another thing that she has forgotten?
If she can forget to drink water, she can forget anything.
“The Guardian speculates that Hillary might just be downplaying her climate views, as they suggest President Obama did in his first term, to avoid upsetting potential supporters. The Guardian seems to think this might be the right thing to do.”
Another leftist organization which supports lying to the public. Color me surprised.
That’s the most likely explanation.
Over here in the UK I noticed Obama stopped mentioning through Climate while campaigning for a second term. Then, after he was elected, the subject was back and centre stage. It worked for him so Hillary hopes it will work for her. She’s a politician – what do you expect? And politicians wonder why their rating is so low.
@Margaret
Your are right. Obama didn’t bring up Climate Change. The Media didn’t bring it up.
And Romney was too much of an empty suit to bring it up.
Its a hot potato, but Donald might be just the man to run with it. He will need some help with the science..
HRC really got burned with her comment that mines will close and miners will loose their jobs in her administration. I think her advisors told her not to get near the subject again.
Also, she knows her opponent can hammer her with actual increases in electricity prices because of “renewals” ; a part of the Obama legacy from which she needs some distance.
Don’t forget, she is also going to raise taxes on the middle class.
And then there is this coming down the pipe,: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/09/21/court-date-costly-power-plan/
Breitbart news just today.
“HRC really got burned with her comment that mines will close and miners will loose their jobs in her administration. I think her advisors told her not to get near the subject again.”
Yes, I think that is the reason. Hillary is already losing West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and maybe Pennsylvania to Trump because of her stance on coal. So she is staying away from that topic as much as possible.
And Michigan facing a power shortfall. Not good for Michigan manufacturing.
“Another leftist organization which supports lying to the public.“. Green taqqiyyah.
Speaking of ‘Climate Refugees’…
Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional District Has Taken In Zero Syrian Refugees
http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/21/nancy-pelosis-congressional-district-h…
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been a vocal backer of President Obama’s (ultimately successful) plan to import a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the fiscal year, at one point accusing Republicans of “slamming the door on mothers and children.” But with just days remaining in the 2016 Fiscal Year, Pelosi’s own district has yet to resettle a single Syrian refugee.
Her district is already heavily Democrat.
MarkW, as with wind turbines in my area, it is probably a case of NIMVY- Never In My Voter’s (back)Yards.
It’s that touch of tension that squeezes the blood out of a turnip. That’s part of the reason for the short renewal periods for tax credits on renewables. All of the decisions makers rake in millions in the process.
Wattsupwithalltheguardianlinkstoday?
The Guardian is so relevant that it now postscripts articles with a begging note. Perhaps
some of regular BTL contributors should pony up instead of constant sealioning/circle jerking.
Nearly everything that comes out of her mouth is designed to appeal to some pre-defined voting bloc – aka “special interest group”. Once she feels she has a group in her pocket/purse, she starts taking them for granted and focuses on appealing to the next group. She must feel that with Sanders’ endorsement she has the far left greens in her pocket/purse.
Her only true cause and loyalty is to her six and seven-figure patrons, who can expect to get government appointments after the election.
It is all very Machiavellian.
+10 Spot on.
Panic is probably putting it mildly. Man who is offering money for dirt on Trump has a REALLY BIG PROBLEM (and so doesn’t Hillary)…

Hillary the snake?
We know what she is… fundamentally… so what she will do if president is no mystery. Her words at this point are those of the vulnerable frozen snake.
What’s important is what she would do if president. And we know what that is; she has every intention of continuing and/or ramping up what Obama started. You can take that to the bank.
ditto
Only to the extent that it is profitable to her … wrt money, power, or acclaim.

And then there is Theresa May of course. Poor old Guardian is going through a rough patch.
It might also have something to do with her claim to install 5 million solar panels in her first term. Who is going to pay for this? What will the effect be to the power grid? Simple math show that that would be 3426 panels installed per day, which I think is quite a lot.
500,000,000 was the claim
http://www.strangepolitics.com/images/content/128437.jpg
That would be 500 million solar panels she wants to have installed.
How many solar panels for this project? Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project 484 megawatts.
Where is this project at after 6 years down from 1000 megawatts ? google: Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project
3426 Panels per day would equate to about 2 houses per day per state at 5M
At 500M it would be 200 houses per day per state
Which still won’t do anything at night or during Storm Times with strong cloud cover
Shoot, Even Tesla’s magical $50,000 80kWH battery would be terribly cost ineffective, unless you were recharging your Tesla, but paying $3,500 for a 10kWH battery every 3 years would be like adding $100 per month to your “Free” electricity.
Well, so much for the Tesla 10kWH battery. It has been discontinued…Why???
Perhaps so they could sell you 3 of the less expensive 6.4kWH models that will deliver 3.3KW each
right – but during the day is when demand is highest, a lot of places…
Demand is highest around 5pm as people get home, fire up the AC, start cooking, etc.
That’s well after the peak solar.
This has been explained to you before Griff. Why do you keep trying to push these tired lies?
This seems to show some US places where demand on hot days peaks from 3pm to 6pm – a time when there is still plenty of solar to go round.
https://blog.opower.com/2012/09/hot-and-heavy-energy-usage-how-the-demand-and-price-for-electricity-skyrocketed-on-a-100-day/
It particularly mentions the need to fire up peaker plants at extra cost during those times.
I’ll check further as I believe in some southern/south western areas the peak demand is much nearer noon.
Solar is a good match to summer A/C demand in places like Arizona and California (south). Unfortunately, there are 3 other seasons, night lighting, and anything north of Las Vegas or east of Dallas to deal with…
Yes. It’s a nice nitch player for June to August in L.A. So what.
Doesn’t do a darned thing for the Central Valley under tule fog for Oct to Dec ( I grew up with it… sometimes you don’t see the sun for a month…it is cold and dank, you need heat and lights.)
The new pricing formula is out for Clinton words. It will cost you $100,000 per word in the new pricing structure. There are no discounts for student campus activity fees or Greens. Pay up or get left out in the ……cold. All sovereign wealth funds are welcome, including petrodollar funds.
The only reassuring thing about Hillary Rodham Clinton on the environmental policy is that she is so dishonest that she will probably not deliver on many of the promises she has made to the greens, either.
There’s climate change going on alright but like our ‘so little runoff the dams won’t fill’ ex Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery they’re not talking much about it-

No need to worry about McKibben’s claims. Go straight to the platform they produced: https://www.demconvention.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Democratic-Party-Platform-7.21.16-no-lines.pdf
A couple of highlights:
“We are committed to getting 50 percent of our electricity from clean energy sources within a decade…”
“Democrats are committed to closing the Halliburton loophole…”
“…reducing greenhouse gas emissions more than 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050…”
“We believe America must be running entirely on clean energy by mid-century.”
…and of course this gem:
“No need to worry about McKibben’s claims.”
People do, unfortunately, despite the fact that he thinks (or says) that 350 ppm is wonderful, but 400 ppm is responsible for hurricanes. How can people believe this douche?
I think its funny, whenever that rag uses a picture of Hilarity it’s about 10 years old. I guess they don’t realize the hit in credibility they take daily eh? Around here we just call her ol corrupt because she is what is wrong with DC. As for her not mentioning the “pave paradise and put up a solar plant” crowd, make no mistake her and the Gore poodle are still in league with each other. There is money to be made and they will both be in on the ground floor of this world wide Enron type scam.
Again… this is the Progressives’ PRIMARY issue – this is the one that is the lynch-pin for all others – even Healthcare – and if they’re NOT talking about it, that’s the time to worry, because they are busy little bees behind the scenes – coordination of city governments, particularly in port cities, executive action on the local and state level – and never forget the marching brooms that are big produced in our schools.
And it all goes on behind the scenes because pretty much every stupid, intrusive new ‘regulation’ is tossed off as ‘it’s for the environment – what harm could it do?’ and therefore gets implemented under the radar of those that would otherwise oppose it.
“…any federal policy that worsened global warming should be rejected…”
But not any Clinton Foundation policy. Or personal travel policy. Or convention/assembly travel policy. Keep spewing GHGs yourself and regulate others.
In my estimation, CIinton suffers from petit-maI epiIepsy. A condition I have lived alongside for years, and can recognise its symptoms from a mile away.
In petit-maI, the patient does not fall over, they just stand there in a trance, as if switched off. They are completely unresponsive, although may whisper incoherently, and the eyes lose focus and stare into the middle distance. They can also be led by the shoulder to a place of safety, like a sofa; and they will walk with small steps as if in a dream, but may stumble and fall if led over uneven ground.
And while mediication is available for this condition, prescriptions like epiIim can send the patient into a daze. If CIinton wants to stay sharp for debates and cameras, she cannot take this type of mediication. But the wearing of Zeiss blue glasses is known to reduce episodes, if they are triggered by sunlight. And CIinton was indeed wearing Zeiss blue sungIasses, on a day when nobody else was wearing sungIasses.
But if this is a realistic diagnosis it will be difficult to keep secret for long, as patients normally have regular (daily) events. Yet the calm response of the security detail may indicate this is already the case. Nobody seemed surprised that she became a walking, stumbling automaton, and then a deadweight sack of potatos – they just took their positions to assist and to shield the event from the cameras. This rather suggests that this is already a regular event, and they have a routine in place to deal with it.

This rather suggests that this is already a regular event, and they have a routine in place to deal with it.”
Good point. I thought so, too. And Bill Clinton said “frequently”, during an interview last week, when discussing Hillary’s condition.
No Hillary won’t be talking about global warming she hired Al Gore to do that . Besides she can read the Green party has about 3% support .
She would wait till after she gets in to spring a carbon tax and pay back her biggest campaign sugar daddies . She won’t be repeating she intends to fire coal workers and shut down fossil fuels either .
Those declarations have cost enough maybe the election .
