And then he flies off to Kansas City, probably for a fundraiser
(The Hill)Â Keeping with his year of action, President Obama on Tuesday will announce more initiatives his administration will implement to tackle climate change.
As the Environmental Protection Agency launches the second-phase of its extensive outreach on Obama’s signature climate rule Tuesday, the White House will unveil new partnerships with companies like Microsoft and IBM, which have committed to help build tools for agricultural communities to respond to climate changes, according to White House adviser John Podesta.
The administration will also announce a series of executive actions, partnerships, and stakeholder commitments to modernize the nation’s natural gas transmissions, and distributions systems that will help reduce methane emissions.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers released a report Tuesday, which details the economic costs of inaction on climate change. The report, which estimates that if the global temperature increases to 3 degrees celsius, it would cost the U.S. $150 billion per year, is a shift in messaging by the administration on the climate change front.
If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a wonderful Christmas. We’ve now had an almost 18 year pause in statistically significant warming. The economic messaging conforms to a recent push by Warmists to portray Hotcoldwetdry in economic terms, in another Typical Attempt To Scare People.

@markknoller: In late afternoon, Pres Obama heads to Kansas City, MO. He’ll have dinner with several who’ve written him letters about their problems.
Essentially, Obama’s using an official event for his meet and greet. And using lots of fossil fuels.
By my count, Pres Obama's trip today to @WRBethesda will be his 1000th flight on Marine One. He hit 1000 flights on Air Force One in May.
