Obama accused of 'climate denial': Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein criticizes president's failure to address green issues -- Stein: 'We sure didn't hear him talking about climate in his debate...Whether he is a denier or just a silencer, he has certainly silenced any discussion of the issue that would motivate real solutions...The climate catastrophe that used to be generations away is rapidly closing in on us' -- An Obama 2nd term would amount to 'climate devastation with a friendly face and a warm endearing personality'
Warmist Mother Goes Full Witchcraft on Climate: Two debates about 'domestic policy' and not one word has been uttered about the chaotic domestic weather we've been enduring' -- Dominique Browning: 'Not one word about our unreliable climate.

And the increase in pipeline mileage — in a nationwide system of more than 2.6 million miles – represents a gain of only about 1.5%'
