Climate change swinging 2016 election?

[skookerasbil]

Could be s0ns...........could be!!!

Thanks to the Obama EPA slamming key states with carbon taxes leading to a huge loss of jobs and increased energy bills the map of red may very well get...........ummm..........redder!!!


For example, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio – three politically pivotal states that produce large amounts of coal power -- are being asked to make larger reductions in their emissions under the final rule than they had been required to do under the earlier preliminary rule, according to a new analysis by the Brooking Institution.

How King Coal Could Swing the 2016 Election The Fiscal Times

The one thing that has always been true about the climate crusading AGW nutters is, they think that costs don't matter to people.

Wait'll voters in coals states find out what Obama EPA shit is going to do to their wallets!!!

Pope speaks out on climate change...

Pope: ‘Climate Change Is a Problem We Can No Longer’ Leave to a Future Generation
September 23, 2015 | During a welcoming ceremony at the White House on Wednesday, Pope Francis said “climate change is a problem” that can no longer be left to a future generation, and he praised President Barack Obama for introducing an initiative for reducing air pollution.

“Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are introducing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem we can no longer be left to a future generation,” the pontiff said in English. “When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history,” said Pope Francis, adding that there’s still time to make changes.

“Such change demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition, not only of the kind of the world we may be leaving to our children, but also to the millions of people living under a system which has overlooked them,” the pope said. “To use a telling phrase of the Rev. Martin Luther King, we can say that we have defaulted on our promissory note and now is the time to honor it,” he said.

“We know by faith that the creator does not abandon us. He never forsakes,” the pope said, adding that as Christians, we must “commit ourselves to the conscious and responsible care of our common home.” “Mr. President, the efforts which were recently made to mend broken relationships and to open new doors to cooperation within our human family represent positive steps along the path of reconciliation, justice, and freedom,” Pope Francis said.

“I would like all men and women of goodwill in this great nation to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world and to stimulate integral and inclusive models of development so that our brother and sisters everywhere may know the blessings of peace and prosperity with goodwill for all his children,” he added.

The pope is a Marxist k00k........holy man he may be, he is obviously highly naïve. Anyway....all he is saying is.....and he is saying it to all nations by the way........we need to be good stewards of our planet. Nothing about these goofy carbon schemes which make poor people poorer ( duh ). The media has given a huge spin with THEIR interpretation.

GAO: Climate Change Could Cause More: Cardiovascular Disease in Northwest, Allergies on Great Plains, Drownings in Midwest
November 6, 2015 – Climate-related risks to public health in the United States could include a rise in cardiovascular disease in the Northwest, more allergies in Great Plains states, and an increase in drownings in the Midwest, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Other potential impacts of climate change include a disruption of community water supplies in Alaska, more cases of dengue fever in Hawaii and West Nile virus in the Northeast, higher incidents of heat stress in the Southwest and increased fish poisoning in the Southeast. Citing the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s (USGCRP) third National Climate Assessment (NCA), GAO warned that “climate change is expected to impact human health in the United States by exacerbating some existing health threats and by posing new risks.” Besides “heat-related illnesses and deaths,” and “an increase in the length of pollen season,” climate change “may contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases.”

Extreme weather events, "which are expected to become more common with climate change, are linked with increases in injuries, deaths, and mental health problems, such as anxieity and post-traumatic stress disorder," the report added. “The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gasses emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to those emissions." GAO notes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires state and local public health departments participating in its $3.6 million Climate Ready States and Cities Initiative to “take steps to raise public awareness about the risks that climate change poses to public health.”

The initiative is “the only HHS financial resource that has been offered to state and local public health departments that directly targets these risks,” GAO pointed out. Cities and states are also using CDC’s $22.6 million National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, which includes “indicators on climate change, among other environmental hazards, related to extreme heat exposure” and its $611.1 million Public Health Emergency Preparedness program to support their climate change activities. But local public health officials who have used the federal money to hire “dedicated staff within their departments to work on this issue,” are reporting difficulty in communicating the warning message to the public.

The actual percentage of deniers in the USA is ... 12%. Meaning embracing denialism is a big election loser.

Which Advanced Country Has the Most Climate Sceptics? Hint: It's Not the United States

Deniers won't believe that, of course. They seal themselves off from reality and only hang out with people like themselves, so they vastly overestimate the percentage of deniers.
