(CNSNews.com) – Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp, in congratulating President Obama on his re-election, said he expects the president and the 113th Congress to make “global climate change” a top priority:
“We look forward to working with them to solve our country’s most pressing environmental problems, including global climate change. As the President declared last night, ‘We want our children to live in an America … that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.’”
Krupp said exit polls show that “for millions of American voters,” Hurricane Sandy and climate change “were decisive factors in this election.”
“As the historic storm just reminded us, we have no time to waste; we must get serious about climate solutions in order to protect our loved ones and communities from terrible impacts — extreme weather disasters, droughts, heat waves, and other dangerous consequences of global warming. Especially in the wake of Sandy, which demonstrated that doing nothing about climate change is much costlier than taking action, this issue clearly should be a top priority for our leaders in government.”
“Climate change” was one of the reasons liberal New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave when he endorsed President Obama last week:
“Our climate is changing,” Bloomberg wrote at Bloomberg.com. “And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be — given this week’s devastation — should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.”

I’m sorry,but the ONLY immediate action that needs to take place is to have people in the white house be honest,have even a hint of scruples or at least be a real American with some values! What an improvement that would be,but with Satan himself at the helm we can forget all about that I guess!
Yes climate is changing. The earth goes through warm up and cool down cycles. If the entire US ceased to exist the earth will still warm up. So anything the EPA does won`t make a bit of hooey. Don` t worry there are 50 people in the EPA making up brand new regulations to gut the oil, coal and gas industry. they will be out in a month or so. So be patient. Crap is coming..
