"The stark headline appeared just over a year ago. '2007 to be 'warmest on
record,' BBC News reported on Jan. 4, 2007. Citing experts in the British
government's Meteorological Office, the story announced that 'the world is
likely to experience the warmest year on record in 2007,' surpassing the
all-time high reached in 1998. But a funny thing happened on the way to
the planetary hot flash: Much of the planet grew bitterly cold... Given the
number of worldwide cold events, it is no surprise that 2007 didn't turn out
to be the warmest ever. In fact, 2007's global temperature was essentially
the
same as that in 2006---and 2005, and 2004, and every year back to 2001. The
record set in 1998 has not been surpassed. For nearly a decade now, there
has
been no global warming. Even though atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to
accumulate---it's up about 4 percent since 1998---the global mean
temperature
has remained flat. That raises some obvious questions about the theory that
CO2
is the cause of climate change. Yet so relentlessly has the alarmist
scenario
been hyped, and so disdainfully have dissenting views been dismissed, that
millions of people assume Gore must be right when he insists: 'The debate in
the scientific community is over.' But it isn't. Just last month, more than
100 scientists signed a strongly worded open letter pointing out that
climate
change is a well-known natural phenomenon, and that adapting to it is far
more sensible than attempting to prevent it. Because slashing carbon dioxide
emissions means retarding economic development, they warned, 'the current UN
approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future
climate change rather than to decrease it.' Climate science isn't a
religion,
and those who dispute its leading theory are not heretics. Much remains to
be learned about how and why climate changes, and there is neither virtue
nor wisdom in an emotional rush to counter global warming---especially
if what's coming is a global Big Chill." ---Jeff

For Immediate Release March 3, 2009
REMARKS BY PRESIDENT OBAMA
AND BRITISH PRIME MINISTER GORDON BROWN
AFTER MEETING
Oval Office
11:58 A.M. EST
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Hello, everybody. Good to see you. Where are the Brits?
They're over there.
PRIME MINISTER BROWN: In fact, they're everywhere. (Laughter.)
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Are they? They're spread out?
All right, my understanding is we're going to do four questions, and we'll
just alternate. I'll start off with Jennifer Loven of AP.
Q Thank you, sir. I'd like to ask you about the letter that you've written
to the Russian President about the anti-missile shield in Eastern Europe.
Can you talk about why sort of a quid pro quo seemed like the smartest
approach?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: You know, I think that the report that was in The New York
Times didn't accurately characterize the letter. What we had was a very
lengthy letter talking about a whole range of issues from nuclear
proliferation to how are we going to deal with a set of common security
concerns along the Afghan border and terrorism. And what I said in the
letter is the same thing that I've said publicly, which is that the missile
defense that we have talked about deploying is directed towards not Russia,
but Iran. That has always been the concern, that you had potentially a
missile from Iran that threatened either the United States or Europe.
And what I said in the letter was that, obviously, to the extent that we are
lessening Iran's commitment to nuclear weapons, then that reduces the
pressure for, or the need for a missile defense system.
In no way does that in any -- does that diminish my commitment to making
sure that Poland, the Czech Republic and other NATO members are fully
enjoying the partnership of the Alliance and U.S. support with respect to
their security.
So the way it got characterized I think was as some sort of quid pro quo. It
was simply a statement of fact that I've made previously, which is, is that
the missile defense program, to the extent that it is deployed, is designed
to deal with not a Russian threat, but a Iranian threat.
Q -- response have you received from Russia?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We've had a good exchange between ourselves and the
Russians. I've said that we need to reset or reboot the relationship there.
Russia needs to understand our unflagging commitment to the independence and
security of countries like a Poland or a Czech Republic. On the other hand,
we have areas of common concern. And I cited two examples: the issue of
nuclear nonproliferation and the issue of terrorism. And at this point, I
think we probably have some potential common concerns on the world economic
front, as well.
So my hope is, is that we can have a constructive relationship where, based
on common respect and mutual interest, we can move forward.
PRIME MINISTER BROWN: Nick.
Q Nick Robinson, BBC News. Mr. President, it's often been said that you,
unlike many of your predecessors, have not looked toward Europe, let alone
Britain. Can you just respond to that comment? And also, the Prime Minister
is talking to you about a global new deal today. Will that actually help
hard-pressed American consumers?
And if I may briefly put a question to the Prime Minister.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, the special relationship between the
United States and Great Britain is one that is not just important to me,
it's important to the American people. And it is sustained by a common
language, a common culture; our legal system is directly inherited from the
English system; our system of government reflects many of these same values.
So -- and by the way, that's also where my mother's side of my family came
from.
So I think this notion that somehow there is any lessening of that special
relationship is misguided. Great Britain is one of our closest, strongest
allies and there is a link, a bond there that will not break. And I think
that's true not only on the economic front, but also on issues of common
security.
And in our conversations here, we talked not only about the need to
coordinate around economic policy, but also I expressed to the Prime
Minister America's extraordinary gratitude for their support in our efforts
in Afghanistan, and the young men and women of Great Britain who have made
enormous sacrifices there. Although there was a debate, obviously, around
the issue of Iraq, nevertheless, whether you are for or against the war here
in the United States, the recognition of Great Britain's friendship and
standing tall with us during that period is something that will never be
forgotten.
