Democrats are delusional... Good intentions no doubt, but there is this thing called "reality"..

When Hillary Clinton announced her opposition to the Keystone pipeline from Canada, she said climate change was the reason. In the first Democratic presidential debate (CNN), Martin O’Malley listed the greatest national security threats to America as nuclear Iran, ISIS, and “climate change, of course.” And in the second Democratic debate (CBS)—it was the day after the Paris terrorist attacks—Bernie Sanders insisted climate change “is directly related to the growth of terrorism.”

These comments were disingenuous (Clinton), exaggerated (O’Malley), and absurd (Sanders). But there was another problem, the issue of global warming itself. In polls, voters list it as one of their lowest priorities, even while paying lip service to it as a serious matter.

Yet President Obama and Democrats can’t stop talking about it. Obama regards the United Nations Climate Change Conference he’s set to attend in Paris this week as a significant response to terrorism. “What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be when the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children,” he said last week. No, he wasn’t joking.
