President Obama says potentially historic flood levels in North Dakota are a clear example of why steps need to be taken to stop global warming. Heavy rain and blizzards have caused eight rivers in the state to swell to flood levels and emergency management officials are warily watching the Red River, which could surpass record levels late this week.
"If you look at the flooding that's going on right now in North Dakota and you say to yourself, 'If you see an increase of two degrees, what does that do, in terms of the situation there?'" Obama told reporters at the White House Monday. "That indicates the degree to which we have to take this seriously."
Uhhhm, Mr. President, please check your own NOAA climate data. You see that dark blue area that is the same color as your suit? That shows record cold temperatures in North Dakota. Care to rephrase your statement? Naah, didn't think so. Nobody needs to look behind the curtain. Does every disaster have to be blamed on AGW to justify your $660B cap-and-trade tax?
