Democrats Using “Climate Change” As Wedge Issue Or Something

I hope they do use it for the 2014 elections: pushing “climate change” rules and laws hasn’t worked out so well for politicians around the world as of late (see what happened to Australia’s Labor Party). Furthermore, it would make an interesting contrast as the Democrat politicians run all around in fossil fueled vehicles campaigning

(SF Gate) When President Obama stood before students in Southern California a week ago ridiculing those who deny climate science, he wasn’t just road testing a new political strategy to a friendly audience. He was trying to drive a wedge between younger voters and the Republican Party.

Which should be a problem for everyone, as Obama acts as the leader of the Democrat Party rather than the POTUS, insulting and demeaning American citizens. Then, this is his normal modus operandi.

Democrats are convinced that climate change is the new same-sex marriage, an issue that is moving irreversibly in their favor, especially among young people, women and independents, the voters who hold the keys to the White House in 2016.

I wonder if young people, women, and independents are thrilled by the prospect of $5 a gallon gas along with vastly increased power bills, which will raise the cost of everything else, which will furthermore cause economic hardship and lowered hiring?

All sorts of Warmists and Democrat advisers are saying this is a super awesome mega great issue to push. Maybe not

Not all business is on board, however. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which includes smaller businesses as well as Fortune 500 companies, issued a study before the new rule was announced saying it would cost the economy $50 billion a year.

In believing they can make political capital on global warming, Democrats don’t have history on their side. The last election in which climate change was an issue was in 2010, and it was a disaster for the party.

House passage of cap-and-trade legislation to curb carbon pollution that year helped topple San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi from the speakership and embarrassed California Sen. Barbara Boxer, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, who failed to get the Senate to act. The party descended into near-total silence on the issue.

Well, in all fairness, that was just the icing on the cake (cake is also bad for climate change, because it causes obesity or something): it was more the passage of Obamacare and the utter idiocy of the Stimulus, with the notion that Democrats do not listen to the American People, that caused the loss. However, if Democrats want to run on this as a major issue, it would be interesting, considering the “pause” has lasted for over 17 years and 9 months. We know for a fact that the actual data has been changed to conform to the talking points. And we know for a fact that Warmists refuse to practice what they preach. We also know that this would give Republicans an awesome rebuttal, in terms of claiming Democrats are using “climate change” as a “Squirrel!!!!” issue to deflect from their abominable records regarding Obamacare, the economy, spying on Americans, foreign policy, failing to secure the border, and unemployment, among others.

We know that they cannot be honest: just look at the picture that accompanies the article

Of course, most Warmists are too indoctrinated and devoid of scientific knowledge to understand what is coming out of those stacks.
