These guys never give up, every week he makes the same claims, even though we have not had any global warming for almost two decades now. Why would we listen to a guy anyway, whose every idea and policy has been a failure?

If one ever doubted that Obama was an idiot, his rhetoric never fails to eliminate those doubts completely.

Not only is Obama the worst POTUS in US history, but perhaps one of the worst leaders the world has ever seen.

No. Golbal warming is not based on computer models; it is base on scientific facts - empirical evidence that is observable, measurable, verifiable. Get with the program (vix. scientific method). Science is not determined by political correctness.

Are you kidding?

The scientific method (apparently of which you are not familiar) is based on "refuting the null hypothesis".

Global warming is the antithesis of science, in that it presumes a shaky hypothesis is at first correct, then villifies and ignores any contrary information. This, of course, is more akin to a cult than science.

A parellel, and equally compelling hypothesis, is the Elvis is alive and well and operates an ice cream stand on Jupiter. As you cannot prove it wrong, it is therefore true.

The problem with individuals, such as yourself, who are enamored with global warming is that essentially all of you have never:

1. obtained advanced degrees in an area of science

2. constructed and designed bench scientific experiments

3. published any scientific articles in the peer reviewed literature

4. edited publications for the peer reveiwed literature

5. taught any scientific discipline in any university

6. taken formal statistics classes to understand the validity of presented data


Stop embarrassing yourself. Those who embrace "global warming" are continued confirmation of the "Dunning-Krueger Effect". Your blind endorsement of this farce is more comical than anything.


PS- I guess you do know that current CO2 levels are very low relative to most periods in the geological history of the world. I guess not!

A few weeks ago, I saw the weather.com website change the high temp at least three times the same day! Yet you want people to believe global warming/climate computer modeling is honest, or even in the ball park of being right, when the temperature, nor the weather on a day to day basis is more often wrong, then not.

Does he really believe climate change is an issue or does he not care if he's a hypocrite?
There is something seriously wrong with him in the head.

Relax, inhale oxygen, and exhale Co2

As there is with anyone else voicing strong support for the nonsense in this speech. I mean....this is genuine looney-tunes, rubber-room category stuff.

I hope we see more of it - more of their true colors - as with each and every one a million more of the naive who they have been able to string along for 20 years will start to see how truly dangerous these people are to America's future and the future of freedom worldwide.

97% of scientists studying the earths climate have concluded that mankind is accelerating climate change.

3 out of 4 Americans believe in climate change.

However, when you watch the news and this topic being debated, it is one scientist speaking the truth, and some man or woman with no scientific expertise who is dismissing the findings of a scientist voicing an opinion shared by 97% of his colleagues.

With respect to Wendell Phillips, how about a statistically accurate discussion of the topic?

You don't understand climate change, clearly. You have lots of company on this thread, and every other thread on this forum discussing climate change.

No one can figure out where that 97% figure came from. No one can prove that it's true.
