wtf
"Global warming" is not the consensus any more. It is called climate change, because in general conditions will change a lot: temperatures will get colder OR warmer; weather in general will become more extreme (more severe storms or droughts) and very, very little of it will be good for the area.
Any change, cold or warm, will endanger local life which has adapted to the conditions.
Suppose the annual rainfall in your area was halved? or doubled? Do you think you'd enjoy that?

Even if you don't accept the above, relying on fossil fuels is a bad idea anyway. (Obama's plan to make more use of natural gas is also bad). It means funding unstable areas of the planet. It means we won't be ready for a sharp rise in prices as available supply falls. We need to be transitioning to sustainable forms of energy anyway.
