"Obama tells sidelined lawmakers that climate change is 'a fact', " Evan Lehmann and Daniel Lippman, E&E reporters

" President Obama declared that the uncertainty around climate change
is at an end , telling Congress "the debate is over" about its impacts on
the Earth.
His assertion in the State of the Union address served as a sugar rush for Democrats...."Climate change is a fact ," Obama said in the first half of his speech."... Lehmann image via LinkedIn . Daniel Lippman, LinkedIn .

"On multiple occasions, and most recently on May 30th of
last year , President Obama has said, and this is a quote he has used
several times, he said that 'the temperature around the globe is
increasing faster than was predicted even ten years ago' and that 'the
climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or ten years
ago.'
"Both statements are false, and through letters to you, Ms. McCarthy,
and on the record in this Committee, we've asked the EPA to provide us
with the data backing up these two statements , the two statements made
by the president, but they don't have any data and referred us to the UN
IPCC. And, their scientists, apparently, the EPA thought they were the
source of this.
"Well, we went there and they had nothing to back it up, so apparently the president just made that up.
"And, I think that's very important because, when you get statements
that are made, they're supposed to be logic and on truth, you have to
check them out.
"Last week's record cold temperature brought the global warming
debate back to the public's attention, but that's only important to the
extent that it's bringing more awareness to the uncertainty of the
science around the debate."
"The truth completely contradicts the president's statements," Sen.
Inhofe said, noting that temperatures have "flat-lined" over the last 15
years - something no climate model used to promote global warming
theory ever predicted:
"When you go back and look at the
at look at the temperature
projections from climate models and compare them to actual temperatures,
two things are readily evident: first, temperatures have
flat-lined over the last fifteen years; and second, an average of over
100 climate models from the last decade shows that the scientific
community did not predict this would happen .
And to my knowledge, not a
single climate model ever predicted that a pause in global warming would ever occur . Senator Sessions is going to go deeper into this.
"The truth completely contradicts the president's statements and begs
the question why he and the EPA not only continue to deny the truth but
why it has raced to stop this information from disseminating into the
scientific record. ""
