What's almost (but not) funny about this is that he is blaming US Factories for Pollution. What Factories? They've all moved over seas or south of the border.
What an @ss... (Sorry Hobie)...

Speaking at a United Nations “climate” summit in Paris, Obama blamed America for alleged man-made global warming and claimed that the nation embraces its responsibility to “do something” about the alleged problem. That “something,” of course, at least in the administration's view, involves redistributing the wealth of embattled U.S. taxpayers to Third World governments and dictatorships for climate reparations, as well as shackling the American economy with draconian controls to reduce emissions of what serious scientists know as the “gas of life.” Sounding like a wannabe messiah, Obama even claimed that “we finally determined we would save our planet.” However, lawmakers in Congress and the American people have made clear that they neither believe in the increasingly discredited anthropogenic global-warming (AGW) theory nor in the alleged solutions to the supposed problem.
Dictators and other heads of state have typically arrived at UN conferences toward the end of the show. This time, however, hoping desperately to secure a global “climate” agreement where past summits have failed, UN organizers decided Obama and other “world leaders” should show up at the start. Obama complied, spewing gargantuan amounts of CO2 and arriving in Paris to deliver various speeches hyping the AGW theory, along with illegal pledges to hand out your money. “I've come here personally, as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second-largest emitter, to say that the United States of America not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it,” Obama claimed at the ongoing conference, which featured some 150 dictators and heads of government and state.
Of course, Obama is not the “leader” of the “world's largest economy.” His job description is to serve as the chief executive of the federal government, to faithfully execute the laws, and to uphold and defend the Constitution. His other claims were even more ludicrous. For instance, the notion that America recognizes its alleged role in creating the alleged problem could not be more wrong. According to a Pew survey released last year, just 40 percent of Americans even believe the increasingly discredited AGW theory. And without a doubt, far less than that would agree that the nation should shackle its economy and redistribute its wealth to Third World regimes under the guise of dealing with a problem that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not even believe exists.
Obama also apparently sought to deceive his fellow rulers by touting his unconstitutional and illegitimate decrees, without noting that the American people's elected representatives, state governments, and the courts are currently in the process of dismantling those decrees. “Over the last seven years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions,” he told the UN and its member regimes, touting half-baked, taxpayer-funded “renewable energy” schemes imposed by the federal government (such as the now-bankrupt crony solar company Solyndra, which put huge sums of taxpayer funds into the pockets of Obama donors). Obama also touted his rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline and the “the first-ever set of national standards” purporting to regulate what Obama referred to as “carbon pollution.”
Of course, CO2, exhaled by every human being and included in every soda you drink, is not “pollution.” Rather, carbon dioxide, as every scientist knows, is an essential-to-life gas required by plants and ultimately, all life on the planet. Human emissions of CO2, meanwhile, make up a fraction of one percent of all the “greenhouse gases” present naturally in the atmosphere, with water vapor alone accounting for some 95 percent. And Obama's unconstitutional “national standards” purporting to regulate the “gas of life,” basically lawless EPA decrees that Obama promised would make electricity rates “skyrocket,” are currently under attack in Congress, which controls the federal purse strings, and by more than half of states, which are suing the administration for illegally usurping powers that it does not possess. More than a few lawmakers have vowed to defund the unconstitutional scheming, assuming the courts do not strike it down first.
Sounding like an apocalyptic preacher of doom, Obama also promised that unless humanity repented of its carbon-emission sins by submitting to a UN “climate” regime and paying carbon indulgences, the wrath of Mother Earth would surely come down upon the world. “Submerged countries. Abandoned cities. Fields that no longer grow,” he threatened, warning of the supposed consequences of alleged man-made global warming. “Political disruptions that trigger new conflict, and even more floods of desperate peoples seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own.” In other words, submit to Obama's AGW antics and the UN climate regime, or face certain doom at the hands of the climate gods, who will flood your country with refugees, submerge your cities, and destroy your fields.
Still, Obama celebrated his actions to appease the climate gods. “For our part, America is on track to reach the emissions targets that I set six years ago in Copenhagen — we will reduce our carbon emissions in the range of 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020,” Obama said, apparently oblivious to the actual constitutional role of a U.S. president, which does not include setting arbitrary “emissions targets” to control economic activity and energy production. “And that's why, last year, I set a new target: America will reduce our emissions 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels within 10 years from now.” That “target” was agreed to in a pseudo-treaty with the brutal Communist Chinese dictator that was never ratified by the Senate and is, therefore, null and void.
