The man voted “Most Likely to Slow the Rise of the Oceans” back in high school had a few words to say to graduating cadets at the US Coast Guard Academy regarding climatic global warming change.

All the scientists, military leaders, and third graders know that climate change has always happened.

Not to scare anyone, but boats are going to float higher than ever.

That’s what you were there for? I thought it was to congratulate Coast Guard Academy graduates and wish them well, not to put the fear of Gaia into them.

How much will it cost to cut carbon emissions? A hell of a lot more than $200 billion.
"The only way the world is going to prevent the worst effects of climate change is to slow down the warming of the planet." —@POTUS

Mr. Everything I Say Is Smart And Historical is saying here that the only way to turn down the earth’s thermostat is to turn down the earth’s thermostat. So stop running your air conditioners so that the planet can condition the air for us.
"There comes a point when the worst effects will be irreversible—and time is running out." —@POTUS on the need to #ActOnClimate

Time’s been running out for how long now? Five years? Ten? Fifty? How far back in time can we go before we run out of time?
"We all know what needs to happen. It’s no secret. The world has to finally start reducing its carbon emissions, now." —@POTUS #ActOnClimate

Darn carbonists, trying to make carbon-privileged folks like me feel guilty for carboning. Go blow it out your ozone hole.
The planet is getting warmer.
Glaciers are melting.
Sea levels are rising.
It's time to #ActOnClimate. http://t.co/l1rKJK5KQH

Less than two years left to fulfill that promise to heal the planet…
Better hurry, time is running out! Tick-tock-tick-tock…
Update:
Twitchy offers up a few reactions from around the Twittersphere to Obama’s dystopian tale of horror.
