Climate Change NOT mentioned in State of the Union Address: Why?

January 26, 2011 · Posted by in Environment 

Boulder is a hotbed of environmentalists. How do we feel about Obama’s omission of the topic in his State of the Union address?

Do YOU agree with David Roberts, who writes the following:

“In his 2009 State of the Union-esque speech, Obama spoke of “saving our planet from the ravages of climate change.” In his 2010 SOTU, he affirmed the “overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change.” In 2011, fresh off the hottest year on record, Obama said … nothing about climate change. It didn’t come up. “
