Vote for Obama, fight climate change: N.Y. Mayor Bloomberg

[JamesHunt]

A vote for Barack Obama is a vote to combat climate change, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in an endorsement of the Democratic president published Thursday, as his city struggled to recover from superstorm Sandy.

In an op-ed titled “A Vote for a President to Lead on Climate Change,” (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-01/a-vote-for-a-president-to-lead-on-climate-change.html) Bloomberg said Obama sees climate change “as an urgent problem that threatens our planet,” while Republican Mitt Romney does not.

Odd. Considering Al Gore slammed Obama for his lack of action on climate change:

Bloomberg's endorsement may not mean very much after this weekend. He's been absolutely awful as he ignores Staten Island. He even wanted to continue with the Marathon, which happens to start on Staten Island, as though nothing is wrong.

Bloomberg is ignoring an urgent problem that threatens his city.

In reality his endorsement is as meaningless as his party affiliation.

In reality his endorsement is as meaningless as his party affiliation.

Like most politicians, well, he's an opportunist. He might be looking to run himself in 2016.
