Global warming: Ice storms strands thousands of Southern motorists

The latest polar vortex ventured far south of the Midwest; an ice storm punished Georgia and Alabama. Thousands of motorists were stranded in Atlanta as cars had no place to go, reminiscent of what occurred on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago during the now legendary 2011 blizzard.

Of course there were numerous car accidents. Children were stranded in schools, workers were forced to spend the night in their offices.

While this storm was pummeled the South, President Obama was giving his State of the Union address, where he declared, "The debate has been settled. Climate change is a fact."

As I wrote this morning, through taxes and regulation, Obama and the liberals want to force up the price fossil fuels--making driving your car and heating your home much more expensive. But man-caused global warming is not a fact.

(Photo) Bright sun and bright snow

While running yesterday on the Skokie Valley Trail in subzero weather yesterday, I broke a rule of photography--never take a picture with a bright sun in it. Well, no one should ever stop experimenting.

In the background is the Illinois Science and Technology Park.

Obama in State of the Union: "The debate has been settled. Climate change is a fact"

Morton Grove, IL earlier this month
Sorry President Obama, but many scientists disagree with you. The debate on climate change, which of course means to you man-caused global warming, has not been settled.

But to you, a settled debate offers what you believe is the moral right to raise taxes on the energy that fuels our cars and heats our homes, punishing the middle class and the poor, the people you purport to champion.

And it offers you another method to meddle with our lives. Climate change to you, Mr. President, is politics disguised as science.

Truax statement on Obama's State of the Union address

I had to work late tonight and I caught only the last twenty minutes of Obama's State of the Union address. What I heard had a nice melodic cadence to it, but so do bird calls, and birds are unable to fix human problems.

Doug Truax, a Republican running for the US Senate seat currently occupied by Dick Durbin, issued this statement about the SOTU:
President Obama, Dick Durbin and their liberal allies in Congress are offering more failed ideas and political slogans to the American people instead of real solutions. Democrats used to follow the wise economic logic of JFK, who said "a rising tide lifts all boats." Instead, Democrats in 2014 say shooting at the larger boats will help the smaller boats. The poor and middle class continue to suffer under Obama and Durbin policies during the worst economic recovery in history. Since Durbin last ran for re-election, 379,200 fewer Illinoisans are employed. The way to help all American families is get government out of the way, simplify and reform the tax code, replace Obamacare and stop stifling American energy production.

In his 2009 State of the Union address, President Obama decried the high cost of health care.

ObamaCare has made this situation worse, as this House Republican video tells us.
