POWERLINE:

It would be possible for the Obama administration to be more out of touch with contemporary science, but it wouldn't be easy:

>>> Putting his prestige on the line, President Barack Obama will personally commit the U.S. to a goal of substantially cutting greenhouse gases at next month's Copenhagen climate summit. He will insist America is ready to tackle global warming despite resistance in Congress over higher costs for businesses and homeowners.<<<

Obama will attend the start of the conference Dec. 9 before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. He will "put on the table" a U.S. commitment to cut emissions by 17 percent over the next decade, on the way to reducing heat-trapping pollution by 80 percent by mid-century, the White House said.

The problem is that Obama knows absolutely nothing about the issue of climate, much as he knows little or nothing about the economy. I sincerely doubt that most Americans want to impoverish ourselves in order to satisfy a bunch of climate "scientists" who, we now know, happily sacrifice truth to political ideology and financial interest.

PAUL adds: The other problem, I think, is that Obama doesn't seem to know much about our system of government. He can't deliver on the kinds of promises he apparently intends to make without the cooperation of Congress. And even this session of Congress -- the most cooperative he's ever likely to have -- hasn't felt like cooperating with him on this issue.
