As you all remember, I hollered at people on the right and the left for doing it and even praised Chris Christie for not making hurricane sandy into a political issue.

Well, true to his partisan hack self; the idiotic Mayor of New York City endorses the President and cites, yes, climate change as his reason. Seriously.

Via Bloomberg:

The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of Tuesday’s presidential election into sharp relief.

The floods and fires that swept through our city left a path of destruction that will require years of recovery and rebuilding work. And in the short term, our subway system remains partially shut down, and many city residents and businesses still have no power. In just 14 months, two hurricanes have forced us to evacuate neighborhoods — something our city government had never done before. If this is a trend, it is simply not sustainable.

Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be — given this week’s devastation — should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.

Here in New York, our comprehensive sustainability plan — PlaNYC — has helped allow us to cut our carbon footprint by 16 percent in just five years, which is the equivalent of eliminating the carbon footprint of a city twice the size of Seattle. Through the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group — a partnership among many of the world’s largest cities — local governments are taking action where national governments are not.

Go read the rest of that mind-numbing stupidity. Let me be clear here, I am not saying that I deny climate change at all. I simply believe that it is an unsettled science and I also believe that it is a science and cause that got horrible politicized by the left. I also believe that the results of the science, so far — have been horrible hyped by the left. Global warming studies and climate change studies ought be done away from anyone having anything remotely to do with politics.

In other words, I would like to have the studies done with some sort of integrity. Furthermore, I believe this science should not be a political football or wedge issue. Just like the auto industry, whom my Father actually worked in for 31 years. The auto industry became a political football, because of the TARP loans. This was disappointing to me, because when the auto industry is in your family like that, to see something that many men and woman worked to build for so many years; become a political football — it just hurts. Before anyone says it; Yes, I know about the Romney ad. I was not happy to read about that and I wish Romney had not went there, at all. But, that, as they say, is politics.

Just like this endorsement — it is politics — and sometimes, politics sucks.
