WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama is well aware of the flooding disaster that has struck North Dakota this week and mentioned it this afternoon during a meeting with six hand-picked journalists from around the country.
The president mentioned the flooding while answering a question about North Dakotans being concerned how a “cap-and-trade” greenhouse gas reduction policy could hurt the state’s coal and power-generating industries.
Obama said that considering how bad the flooding is now in North Dakota, imagine what it could be if global warming exacerbates the issue.
“I actually think the science around climate change is real. It is potentially devastating," he said. "If you look at the flooding that’s going on right now in North Dakota, and you say to yourself, ‘If you see an increase of 2 degrees, what does that do, in terms of the situation there,’ that indicates the degree to which we have to take this seriously.”
The meeting with the reporters, which was about 30 minutes long, was in the Roosevelt Room of the White House’s West Wing.

He seriously spun this into global warming debate? God I hate Obama
