It’s not just the coal industry he has it in for
Below,
Moe writes on some shocking statements by Barack Obama about
“bankrupting the coal industry” in order to address global
warming.
Obama has it in for another industry: agriculture. Check out
these statements from
an interview he gave with Time’s Joe Klein:
As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is
contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector.
And in the mean time, it’s creating monocultures that are
vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to
sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in
commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in
our healthcare costs because they’re contributing to type 2
diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that
are driving our huge explosion in healthcare costs. That’s just one
sector of the economy.
He is blaming our agriculture policy for global warming,
obesity, stroke, heart disease, etc.
If he is willing to “bankrupt” the coal industry over global
warming, what’s he going to do to the agriculture sector which
“actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our
transportation sector”?
