Republicans cut Barack Obama’s most forceful comments on climate - TopicsExpress



          

Republicans cut Barack Obama’s most forceful comments on climate change – his mockery of climate denial – from the party’s official live stream of his State of the Union address. A purported Republican fact-check of Obama’s address, prepared by staffers for the House speaker, John Boehner, clumsily cuts the president off mid-sentence just as he was about to wreck the Republicans’ new default line for talking about climate change: “I am not a scientist.” The Republican party leadership has adopted wholesale the I am not a scientist line over the last few months – casting doubt about climate change while avoiding outright denial. Boehner resorted to the line as recently as last week when asked directly about his position on climate change. - Suzanne Goldenberg
