It’s bad enough for America that President Barack Obama is a committed far-left ideologue, but when you couple that with his narcissism, you’ve got a recipe for a major disaster.

He told Oprah Winfrey he deserves “a good solid B-plus” for his first year in office. The only things standing in his way for that coveted A are — for the most part — other people, such as evil Republicans who oppose socialized medicine.

It’s obvious that Obama is as self-absorbed as he is delusional. While most Americans are worried about the financial destruction of our country and our resulting inability to bequeath our heirs a land of liberty, Obama is fretting over the stresses the job is placing on him.

The former vice president, who became an unlikely figurehead for the green movement after narrating the Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” became entangled in a new climate change row.

Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.

In his speech, Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr. [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

However, the climatologist whose work Gore was relying upon dropped the former vice president in the water with an icy blast.

With the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit about to begin, a few observations are in order:

• Fewer and fewer people believe in the myth of manmade global warming. The latest Harris Poll – taken before the Climate-gate revelations – shows that now fewer than 51% of Americans believe in what its proponents insist is scientific fact – down from 75% in 2001 and 71% in 2007. Not that public opinion matters to elites. (Despite the continuing drop in support for Obama-care, Congress seems determined to force it on us.)

• British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a faithful communicant of the Church of Global Warming, insists the theory is “settled science” (not to the 31,000 scientists who signed a statement casting doubt on the theory) and comparing skeptics to those who think the earth is flat. Increasingly, proponents of this junk science resort to name-calling and disparaging remarks which, let’s face it, are easier than trying to prove the improvable.

• For cultists obsessing about the release of greenhouse gasses and their supposed devastation to the environment, it’s do as I say not as I do. Copenhagen airport is expecting 140 private jets for officials attending the Summit and their aides. (Heaven forbid they should take a commercial flight.) Note: None of the private jets runs on ethanol. As my friend and colleague Gary Bauer points out, “Including travel, the 11-day conference will use 41 tons of carbon dioxide – greater than the daily amount produced by 30 countries.”

• The Copenhagen Summit is seen as a successor to the Kyoto Accords, negotiated in 1997, which the United States never ratified. It’s believed that Copenhagen will produce something similar to the Waxman-Markey bill, which passed the House in June and is now pending in the Senate. If it becomes law, this legislation would set stringent limits on energy produced from fossil fuels (which supply America with 85% of its energy needs). If Waxman-Markey goes into effect, it’s estimated it will cost the typical family an average of $829 a year between 2012 and 2035, reduce GDP by $394 billion a year over the same period, and lead to a net loss of a million jobs a year. If the global-warming mob, lead by Barack Obama, has its way, there will be an economic meltdown long before the polar ice caps melt.

It’s none too soon to begin urging Senators to reject whatever comes out of the Copenhagen Summit. For the sake of our economy, our incomes and our national sovereignty, the environmental hysterics and elitists must not have their way.

The scandal has prompted calls for Obama from global warming skeptics to skip this month’s climate summit in Copenhagen — instead, the White House is doubling down on its commitment

The controversy swirling around the leaked e-mails of climate scientists apparently trying to downplay data and exclude dissenting opinions has led to calls for President Obama to skip this month’s climate summit in Denmark until the e-mails can be investigated.

Instead, the White House announced Friday that Obama was doubling down on his commitment to the summit’s goals and moving his visit later in the month, hoping it will secure a “meaningful” agreement.

Outrage over the suppressed data refuting “global warming” at the East Anglia Institute in England, now spans the world. Though as a result of a liberal media “blackout,” news of the event currently remains primarily confined among the intellectually honest participants in the climate debate. Nevertheless, with each passing day, ever increasing numbers of common citizens are realizing that every aspect of their lives, from the nature of the vehicles they own to the type of lighting that will be “allowed” them by their beneficent government, is being dictated by a hoax bearing no more substance than the “Bermuda Triangle.”

The director of the embattled Climatic Research Unit in the United Kingdom is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.

In a statement posted to its Web site, the University of East Anglia says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented.

Professor Jones said, “What is most important is that CRU continues its world leading research with as little interruption and diversion as possible. After a good deal of consideration I have decided that the best way to achieve this is by stepping aside from the Director’s role during the course of the independent review and am grateful to the University for agreeing to this. The Review process will have my full support.”

As time goes by, more and more doubt is cast on the theory of man-made global warming, which the left treats as incontrovertible fact. To date, more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition declaring that there is no conclusive evidence that the earth is getting warmer due to CO2 emissions from automobiles and industry.

Recently, a hacker exposed a scheme by pro-global warming researchers to hide studies that contradict the theory. The Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom is one of the most influential climate-change crusaders. Its research regularly shows up in reports of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Over 1,000 e-mails made public by the hacker showed a pattern of deceit and misrepresentation. Data that casts doubt on man-made global warming was spiked. Among other instances of scientific fraud, the Climate Research Unit’s director, Phil Jones, told Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University that he would work to keep dissenting studies out of IPCC Reports.

The e-mails provide massive evidence that global-warming cultists will stop at nothing to prevent opposing views from being heard. This becomes particularly relevant as we move toward the next stage in the campaign to institute a planetary regime to fight this unproven menace.

In less than a week (Dec. 7-18), the Copenhagen global-warming summit will take place. Like other socialist heads of state attending this surrender-your-sovereignty conference, President Obama will go intending to sign whatever economy-annihilating treaty comes out of the confab.

Copenhagen is intended to extend and expand the Kyoto Protocol, scheduled to expire in 2012. Though then-Vice President Al Gore endorsed the Protocol, negotiated in 1997, President Clinton knew there was so much opposition to the scheme to force a reduction in CO2 emissions, that he didn’t even bother submitting it to the Senate for ratification.

At the time, it was conservatively estimated that U.S. compliance would have cost taxpayers and consumers between $100 billion and $397 billion a year.

A U.S. domestic global warming bill, which narrowly passed the House in June, seeks to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 17% (from the 2005 baseline) by 2020. The Heritage Foundation estimated that this would result in an annual loss to the economy of $393 billion – or a total cost to a family of four of $3,000 annually, and an annual net loss of 1 million jobs.

It’s reasonable to assume that Copenhagen will be worse.

Obama will negotiate away our nation’s industrial future to please internationalists and the global-warming Chicken Littles. The Copenhagen accord likely will include a massive wealth transfer from developed to developing nations, to help them reduce their carbon emissions. Lord Christopher Monckton, science advisor to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, warns that global warming will be used as the pretext for global government.

“Your president will sign it (whatever treaty comes out of Copenhagen). Most Third World countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber-stamp it,” Monckton predicts.

But we can stop it! Like any other treaty, it will have to be submitted to the Senate for ratification, where it needs a two-thirds vote (67 votes). If we begin now urging Senators to reject what’s almost certain to come out of Copenhagen, we can prevent yet another massive trauma to our economy, which is already reeling from Obama’s runaway spending.
