Ed. Note: Below you'll find a humorous interpretation of Obama's climate change report as reported by the Guardian. Jeff at the Air Vent added his own 'translations' to help you better 'read between the lines.' Below is an excerpt with a link to the full text.

I found this link on another blog this morning. It’s from the Guardian and a bit of reading between the lines is required. I copied the document and included some translations in the text to help the less informed read it clearly. My editing is in red.
Climate impacts report exaggerates claims of flooding, heat waves, drought and loss of wildlife that will occur if Americans fail to act on global warming …
The Obama administration is poised for its most forceful confrontation with the American public on the sweeping and life-altering consequences of a failure to act on global warming with the release today of a long-awaited scientific report on climate change.
The report, produced by more than 30 scientists and advocates at 13 government agencies expanding their control by pretending to deal with climate change, provides the most detailed collection of extremist science that government money can buy to date of the worst case scenarios of rising sea levels and extreme weather events: floods in lower Manhattan; a fabricated quadrupling of heat waves deaths in Chicago; pretend withering on the vineyards of California; the disappearance of wildflowers from the slopes of the Rockies; and despite measured increases in population the extinction of Alaska’s wild polar bears in the next 75 years.
Today’s release is part of a carefully crafted strategy by the White House to help build public support for Obama’s socialist revolution agenda and boost the prospects of a climate change bill now making its way through Congress.
For many Americans, the report released today, entitled Global climate change impacts in the United States provides the most tangible evidence of the economic costs of climate change conversion to socialism- from the pretend need to relocate airports in Alaska built on permafrost, to the increased need for pesticides in agriculture, to an electrical grid artificially held back by government straining to meet the increased demand for air conditioning in summer and ageing sewer systems brought to bursting point by heavy run-off in 770 American cities and towns.
