Mr. Obama’s remarks at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s Commencement May 20 demonstrate the extent to which his advisors are keeping him divorced from the facts.
The bulk of his speech was devoted to what is now becoming more and more obviously a non-problem: “the challenge … that, perhaps more than any other, will shape your entire careers – and that’s the urgent need to combat and adapt to climate change.”
Some facts. In the 11 years 2004-2014, the rate of global warming taken as the mean of the three terrestrial datasets was one-twentieth of a degree. The ARGO ocean dataset shows warming of one-fortieth of a degree. The mean of the two satellite datasets shows no warming at all. Subject to formidable uncertainties, the ARGO database gives perhaps the best guide to the underlying warming rate. None of these real-world measurements is the stuff of what Mr Obama called “a peril that can affect generations”.Some facts.

Dear leader only knows what rolls on his teleprompter. I don’t think he has a real thought in his head, on any subject.
Obama only goes on and on about things Global Warming, Gay Marriage etc is to get 2 sides to attack each other while he sits back laughs and plays with himself
Global warming and UN Agenda 21 are part of the world elitists plan to enslave the world.
What the leader of the free world knows about is lies, and not one thing else.
Bet your azz...
Obama is not the leader of the free world. Obama is a marxist tyrant.
That is so totally unfair... he had a thought yesterday.
Oh wait a minute, that was gas.
Global warming and UN Agenda 21 are part of the world elitists plan to enslave the world.
EXACTLY!!! We MUST fight the alarmists who would destroy America and everything America stands for. Keep up the fight until the morons who believe in Global Warming FINALLY see the light!
“Does the ‘leader’ of the free world really know so little about climate?”
Wrong question.
Real question: How can I strengthen my stranglehold on America?
He only talks about the items the highest bidder tells him to talk about.
Wonder what his Swiss account looks like.
his little face lit up...... and it looked like he was smiling.....
For someone with an IQ of like 2+million, he would seem to be more in line to hook up with DENSA than MENSA. Hard to believe that so many buy his lies after 6+ yrs. Yup. I’m a proud DENIER.
You ever know anyone who plots and schemes their way through life. They lie when the truth would have worked.
They get out of doing the hard work.
They don’t produce anything worthwhile although they talk the talk.
Otherwise, If they would have spent all that time doing what needed to be done they would have been far better off.
Obama could have truly been a great President. Instead he know it all trouble making a$$bait.
BOHICA, this is how it starts. Obola begins to promote a meme, the MSM slowly begins to run with it, the momentum starts building, opposing views are Alinskied, all of a sudden some backdoor legislation or executive order happens, the sheeple don’t notice, life in the U.S. starts to suck more, conservatives are blamed, the LIVs demand FEDGOV do more. Rinse-repeat.
Oh, yeah, the producers are taxed into oblivion. (forgot that part)

CONAN O'BRIEN, HOST: ...to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?
AL GORE: It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...

The physics and astronomy website Physlink contests Gore's absurd claim:
It is approximately 4000°C at the centre of the Earth.
To put this in context:
1. The centre of the Sun is approximately 15 million°C
2. The surface of the Sun is 5500°C
3. Iron melts at 1535°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
4. Water boils at 100°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
5. Human skin is comfortable with temperatures up to about 60°C
6. The highest temperature recorded on the Earth's surface is 58°C (Libya 1922)It is not possible to directly measure the temperature at the centre of the Earth and four thousand degrees is nothing more than our most well-established piece of guesswork to date. Most modern calculations rely on the fact that we believe the inner core to be made up of iron and nickel that is just about at melting point. It is under a lot of pressure, which prevents it from melting, even at such high temperatures. There is also a lot of evidence regarding how the outer core of the Earth convects and that helps to establish the temperature. However, recently British scientists have suggested that the temperature of the Earth's core may in fact be as high as the surface of the Sun, so the question is still open.
Dictator Obama knows the truth about global warming. Environmentalism is just one of his many tools to impose Communism.
