Top 5 Lies of Obama's Climate Change Speech
From Investor's Business Daily:
President Obama is being lauded for his plans to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. But the scheme looks more like the last refuge of a desperate movement, because the speech he gave in its defense was full of lies.
Al Gore called Obama's Tuesday presentation at Georgetown University a "terrific and historic speech." It was not an honest message, though.
His text was laden with myths, fables, distortions and outright lies. Here are the top five:
1. "The planet is warming." . . .
2. "Human activity is contributing to it." . . .
3. "The overwhelming judgment of science -- of chemistry and physics and millions of measurements — has put all that (doubt) to rest." . . .
4. "Ninety-seven percent of scientists, including, by the way, some who originally disputed the data, have now put that (doubt) to rest." . . .
5. "Americans across the country are already paying the price of inaction in insurance premiums, state and local taxes, and the costs of rebuilding and disaster relief."
