    President-elect Barack Obama said on Tuesday attacking global climate change is a “matter of urgency” that will create jobs as he got advice from Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the issue.

    • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

    In remarks to reporters, Obama made clear he would adopt an aggressive approach to global warming when he takes over the White House on January 20.

    He and Vice President-elect Joe Biden met for nearly two hours with former Vice President Gore at Obama’s presidential transition office in Chicago.

    “All three of us are in agreement that the time for delay is over, the time for denial is over,” Obama said.

    Obama hopes addressing climate change can create the kind of jobs that will help pull the U.S. economy out of a deepening recession. He has begun to lay out plans for a massive recovery program to help stimulate the U.S. economy and create about 2.5 million jobs.

      Global warming is a hoax… theyre heating the atmosphere with chemtrails.

    2. fat in the middle Says:

      In the coldest year we still can’t debate this!? Even with friends, they think one is mad to deny global warming. How did facsism get to this point in the green revolution? Concensual science is a contradiction in terms of it real definition; science. We must be prepared to come head to head with friends on this issue, arm your self with printouts to have facts on hand, carry them in your coat at all times, they are easy to argue you down, as they are armed with propaganda. Information and inspiration is our tool.

    3. Revolution1 Says:

      Regardless if Global Warming is a hoax, man-made, natural, etc; we live in the Great Modern Stone Age. Free Energy should be available for all. The technology is there, and having citizens spend 6-18% of their income for a necessity is ridiculous. Money saved could be used in other beneficial ways to humanity, or for struggling families to save for education.

      Time to unveil Free Energy, alas Nikola Tesla.

      yo #2,
      you seem to be implying that global warming only = hotter weather. you are a fool. global climate change is a better term. Yes it is cold this year, but note all of the hurricanes and tornadoes. and how about the south east only getting about 66% of its annual rain fall? Yes you call it propoganda, but these are the facts.

      You can not deny these weather anomolies. And also please tell me…
      why is this a bad thing? Obama has been saying since day one, that within ten years he wants energy independence. Ten years. SOunds like a page right out of Ron Paul’s book…but do you listen? I am not saying this is a perfect plan he has, but stop lying to yourself. global climate change is real. And if obama is going to try to atleast work at it, creating jobs and boosting varius industries..how does that become him fulfilling a secret oath to an occult society?

      Gore, must have offered Obama a piece of the pie. We can see it was obviously enough, as Obama jumped right on board. Another piece of the s---pie we have comming our way.

      I hope you traitors that still cling desperatley to the notion that government will save you, pay dearly. You wanted change, well you are about to get some. The USA is gone-wake up people. Its time to turn off your televiosions and face reality, or reap the results of turning your back on what’s going on, and die like bitches.

      Expect Resistance-The future is unwritten

    7. Truth Bearer Says:

      I think we should address INTER-PLANETARY CLIMATE CHANGE… if you are at all familiar with a little organization I like to call NASA they have been documenting (never all appearing in the same place of course) climate change on ALL our Solar Systems Planets…this is a REAL Phenomenon and has to do with the TRANSFORMATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS…

      not only is our race evolving, but our whole planet, nay the whole solar system is evolving to a much higher Dimension of Existence…ARM YOURSELVES with the TRUTH

      Climate change is a fraud, always is and always will be.

      The real reason is one world goverment.

      This is the time to get the goverment out of the way and let a free market decide what’s best for the enviornment, not the goverment.

      the real crooks are the democrates vision to copy cat the move judge dread bt sylvester sallone. all they want to do is to make us live like the amish. and have us ride around in horse and buggies. so they dont have to worry about loosing power

    14. THE WITNESS Says:

      Global warming one of the great deceptions of our generation. next they’re gonna fire project blue beam and tell us that your messiah has arrived.

    15. bvmcvm think about this Says:

      So you’re saying that government control is ok now because they’ve changed the name to ‘global climate change’ rather then ‘global warming’?

      So I won’t call you ‘naive’, but rather plain ‘ignorant’. So that makes it ok…lal.

    16. Amerokah Says:

      Climate Change being an urgency is complete B.S.

      Read JOAN VEON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She spells it out.

      It’s not real folks.

    17. anon Says:

      This scares me. The debate is FAR from over.

      I should point out, though, that he didn’t call say it was a matter of “national security”. He only used the term “urgency”. Infowars has misrepresented him on this.

    18. solarnyc Says:

      of course you push the idea that climate change is a farce..you secretely want global warming to continue to melt the ice caps for 2 reasons:

      a) to fullfill some of your demented bible prophecy

      b) because you secretely want the coastal cities (such as nyc and cali and miami) to become swamped and possibly destroyed by rising waters

    19. chasingdownliberty Says:

      Yes, create more jobs…like officer to imprison all those award winning scientists who PROVE global warming is NOT true.

    20. hey solar Says:

      Do carbon levels follow temp change or vice versa?

      Answer that honestly and you have your answer.

      It has nothing to do with the bible that you are SO afraid of….it’s just a book man. No need to be so fearful of it as it does not bite…lal.

    21. Cyborgmind Says:

      This is great place to start writing comments. Why not also write to Obama on congress.org and tell him what you think.

    22. Mr Inconvenient Says:

      anon infowars did not misrepresent him. If you would have clicked on the link to the reuters article you would have known that.

    24. House Says:

      LMAO!!! I can see it now……the “messiah” fights an invisible (and fabricated) foe (global warming). The same “scientists” who fabricated the research, can then say there has been a dramatic decrease in global warming…..ALL HAIL THE NEW MESSIAH!!

    25. House Says:

      …….oh, and created millions of jobs in the process……AGAIN, ALL HAIL THE NEW MESSIAH!!!

    26. jan Says:

      After reading lie about carbon foot print in their own articles , they are saying Flowers create carbon so they want to heavily tax people growing flowers/trees ect in own garden ,politicians have been talking on uk news stations about taxing people with good views and planting flowers…

      If I could prove that global warning, I mean global warMing is just a bogus theory, could I claim this a-holes nobel peace prize? It makes me sick to think this guy’s getting an actual PEACE prize for this garbage. But as Gore says, “the debate is OVER!”

    32. The Watchman Says:

      @anon #19

      -From the article…

      “This is a matter of urgency and of national security and it has to be dealt with in a serious way. That’s what I intend my administration to do,” Obama said.

    33. Arklight Says:

      Uhuh. Osama Obama gets how much off the top of each carbon credit sold from Gore’s outfit?

      #23, you first you foolish self hater! I can’t stand people who talk about the wiping out of the human race being a good thing. This is your typical brainwashed self hating idiot who can’t see the it is through manipulation that he or she thinks the way he or she does. C02…..kill all humans, we are killing too many trees (I agree) but they say kill all humans, not enough water( uhh what is the percentage of water on earth)…kill all humans, not enough food…. kill all humans.

      Do the rest of us a favor, start with yourself! Better yet, deprogram yourself and stop speaking this senseless garbage. I don’t want to do away with the human race and I don’t want YOU dead either you silly fool.

      And show us no debt forgiveness,

      As we’ll forgive your million man national security force who trespass against us.

      Lead us not into sovereignty,

      But deliver us from freedom.

      Thou hast the keys to what’s left of the kingdom,

      Display thine power,

      And enslave us for ever & ever.

    37. AlexFan1776 Says:

      it’s just like Alex says, this will be an excuse for them to bring in more taxes, then they will continue to escalate the fear level to get more and more control. I have no doubt that they are testing weather weapons with chemtrails and poison us at the same time

      I mean, when it comes out that NASA falsified data for AL Gore, what more evidence do you need? http://www.infowars.com/?p=6009

    38. GetAClue Says:

      Obama is the puppet Al Gore wanted in the White House to help push the Bulls--- that is man-made global warming.

      CO2 is not the culprit. The sun is the reason why the planet either cools or heats.

      This is such a crock.

    39. James A. Burt Says:

      No, but dependence on foreign oil is.

    40. Spencer Says:

      Al Gore is such a stooge. He may be Washington’s least educated. What a moron. It is scary that most American’s buy into his garbage. Well they are buying into the bailout. Alex is right, Americans never met a scam they never loved. Good luck everybody, things are going to get rough. Things are blatant these days (Fox news is a total movie) and people have to get active.

    41. Cullen MacLean Says:

      This potpourri of a human being reveals yet another facet…

      He really ain’t nuthin’ but a skanky DC whore! It’s so clear to me now! Looks like he’ll DO whoever is popular at the moment, or whoever’s going to get him his next ‘fix’.

      This guy has been grabbed by the cohones, and he is eating it right up!! What an absolute idiot.

      And, like all whores (DC or otherwise…), he will be discarded when he no longer serves a purpose… or becomes any kind of threat.

      Global warming… Global cooling… WHO THE F— CARES?!! It’s just one more unfounded and trivial issue that’s been designed to put your attention ANYWHERE but where the TRUTH is.

      Mother Nature is going through a bit of a re-adjustment right now. No big deal. It will all balance out. It always does.

      What a whimpy sell-out this guy is. “urgency”?!! “national security”?!! Who in the HELL does he think he’s kidding? I am damn sick and tired of this freak trying to scare my kids and grandkids…DAMNIT!!!

      That Biden is a nasty, nasty man, too. That guy has given me the heebie-jeebies since the first time I ever laid eyes on him. I think that he is capable of just about anything. He has no soul left. BUT, he is oh-so-politically-correct… don’t ya’ know.

      Pardon me while I leave the room to go puke somewhere.

    43. Casual Observer Says:

      I notice all the people who think that living humans are a scourge on the planet are still alive.

      Kinda like all people who are for abortion..

      Although I think abortion is a personal and private decision, it is one I could not make and have a daughter I raised as a male alone to prove it. I am lucky I had a say.

      But for a diffferent twist.. have a parent who is so willing to abort to keep a life off the earth sign a contract stating they would be willing to give their life as soon as the child they gave birth to was old enough to decide after having the information that their parent(s0 would have aborted them have a choice in their life. Either way there would be one less human in the world. SImple choice. .

    44. Casual Observer Says:

      Obama has no say…
      It’s time to wake up from all the distractions. This is not an illusion and the Trilateral Commission/Council on Foreign Relations has been in charge for the better part of last century.

      Here is a 2001 article from and ex-member. It will be embarassing to read at how long we are behind in out thought process. Their plan is ahead of schedule and what we are focusing on is what they have already accomplished and they are one step ahead.

      A PATRIOT (AND FORMER CFR MEMBER) SPEAKS OUT

      http://www.freerepublic.com/fo.....6965/posts

      There is but one option since obviously if this guy is legit.. we have no GVT left. The GVT we elect is but a farce and our GVt is actually the TC/CFR and HAS BEEN for the better part of a century. We will allow them to rule or come to some point such as Greece is showing now. If it comes to that we must end this travesty for once and all the way Machievelli suggests in his writings of “The Prince”.

      There is one area they have no conquered yet in the US … The Gun Rights issue.. which they are trying to hamstring at every opportunity. Once that is done away with we are conquered and open for anything else.

    45. Donktastic Says:

      Can someone…anyone…please tell me how global warming (even if it did exist) is a matter of national security?

    46. Global warming is real....sure... Says:

      #48 : It’s an easy matter explaining how global warming is an issue of national security. If you’re not with them on global warming, you’re with the terrorists, get it ?

    47. Thank GOD these viewers Are Not in Charge Says:

      Well folks, I appreciate you all being up to date on current events but you really should just accept the fact that Global Warming is real. For those of you that say “Who the f--- cares?!!!” I will tell you that the days of easy prosperity are potentially at risk. The possibility of drought, flooding, population flows, and disease epidemics will result from this and its nothing to take lightly. There is not even a debate about Global Warming anymore in the scientific community. Now some of you will point to the less than 2% of scientist that question it, but like me a few years ago its time to face the facts. Global Warming is a threat; our military is already planning accordingly and you must understand that access and possession of freshwater, oil and other natural resources is vital to our country security interest. Not too mention if we have control of these resources we have huge leverage in terms of promoting our national interest (or corporate interest for the wealthy, which is more likely). But none the less, it is a big deal. Just a reminder: Iraq has huge reserves of oil and not too mention it has TWO freshwater rivers, the Tigeris and the Euphrates.

    48. Dee Jay Says:

      What credentials does Al Gore have to even be able to make such claims about global warming? I can’t believe Obama; he has surrounded himself with crooks yet most of the idiots still want him to be president; I think they are going to be sadly disappointed if he makes it in there; he still needs to prove he is a U.S. citizen, doesn’t he? This global warming farce will cost the tax payers a lot of money so I hope “they”, who want him in office, has lots of dough.

      It’s time to see through the spin and look at the facts. You know, the “scientific” facts about global warming.

      Give me the 8 TRILLION from the bail out and in one year we would have FREE energy & two new fronters(Mars & the sea) with ENDLESS posibilitys. It’s called comon sense!!!
      But that would take the power away fome the one’s that trully poison this world(and US)

    52. Rucksack Says:

      #49 Thank GOD these viewers Are Not in Charge must be a shill for the elite. Even though more and more people are seeing through the lies and scams, s/he still spouts the same old propaganda.

    53. Day The Earth Stood Still Says:

      What they dont tell you about Climate Change is that they are creating it. Not with mans pollution but with terra forming technologies…the so called chemtrails and contrails combined with energy exciters to produce the result they wish to produce.

      So CHANGE means just that. They are terra forming the planet to make it suitable for other things and when I say things thats what i mean “things”

      All this terrorism, false flags, more police state measures, CODEX etc is actually the destraction for the stranger scifi stuff so many of you cant seem to get your mind around for whatever reasons.

      You have heard the sayings that UFOs was disinfo to hide the black operations such as U2, Stealth fighters and bombers etc.
      Actually its the other way around. The stealth fighters and bombers, sr71, and u2 is the cover for craft that can do sublight and light speed.

      But if you wish to go on believing the disinfo..the so called stuff you can provide proof for.. be my guest. knock yourself out.

    56. Chuck S Says:

      Obama and the rest of the A**holes who are screaming about global warming / climate change are only doing so to enable them to tax us to death on everything including the methane from cow farting and the fact that we exhale CO2. This is not a joke. They have been proposing it.

      This climate change, methane-ridden horsecrap, also provides an excuse for the power elites to eliminate 80-90% of the world’s population because thy are convinced that our existence is destroying the earth. Of course after we mere mortals are all killed off, the mass murdering elitists will continue to live and build their paradise on earth with them in charge as Gods and they will not have to put up with human insects and vermin like us.

      How many years must the Earth cool before they admit global warming is a lie?

      How big does Al Gore’s waistline have to get before we tell him to take his consumption cutting, hypocritical, regulations and shove ‘em. How many $50,000 a month electric bills will he get before he is exposed as a CRIMINAL HYPOCRITE!!!
