CNSNews.com) - Speaking today at the State Department at the “2016 Our Ocean Conference,” President Barack Obama said that a “healthier planet” is vital to U.S. “national security” and that he has conversations about climate change “in the Situation Room.”

 

“But one thing that we all owe to [secretary of State] John [Kerry] is his conviction that a healthier ocean and a healthier planet are about more than just our environment; they are also vital to our foreign policy and to our national security,” said Obama. “So he has elevated the profile of climate change, ocean protection to the point where we have conversations about this not just in the Oval Office, but in the Situation Room.”

 

Obama also said is that “[d]angerous changed in our climate, caused mainly by human activity…are happening now.”Scissors-32x32.png

Ban Ki-moon declares climate change debate ‘over,’ calls Paris deal his greatest achievement

 

NEW YORK — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday that his greatest achievement at the helm of the world’s biggest international organization was last year’s climate change accord in Paris, and he expressed open frustration that Republicans in the U.S. continue to obstruct President Obama and to politicize the subject.

“The debate on science and the debate on politics as far as climate change is concerned is over,” Mr. Ban told The Washington Times in an exclusive interview. “Still, the Republican Party, they are not convinced.

“There should be no political consideration on this,” he said. “There should be no room for politics to get involved.”

Mr. Ban, who has been secretary-general for a decade and is nearing the end of his tenure, made the comments in a wide-ranging interview on topics including Syria’s civil war and the mounting threat of a nuclear-armed North Korea.Scissors-32x32.png

That map does not look so good for you if not for the long term warning.

 

As I point out to people "Where we are standing today here in MPLS 20,000 years ago there was an ice sheet 1 mile thick. If you compress the age of the earth (3.5 billion years) into 24 hours, 20,000 years ago was about 3 seconds."

He does because it belongs to Him.

 

Mankind thinks too much of its 'ability' to affect something like climate.
