Obama: Climate Deniers Who Ignore Science Are on ‘Their Own Shrinking Island’
Brietbart ^ | September 1, 2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/01/2015 2:27:11 PM PDT by Zakeet

Monday night at the GLACIER Conference in Anchorage, AK, President Barack Obama attempted to isolate those who question whether climate change is man-made saying they are “on their own shrinking island.”

Obama said, “We know human activity is changing the climate that is beyond dispute. Everything else is politics.”

[Snip]

"The time to plead ignorance is surely past.”

Can you still buy ocean front property? Are they evacuating coastal areas? Can you fly over 4,000 miles to lecture on large carbon footprints?

I’ll believe it’s a problem when they start acting like it’s problem.

You're the third person who has told me that today

I guess it must be true. /s

My sarcastic remark actually reflects the mentality of the average low information voter and/or American. Sad but true.

It really is TRUE. Tell a LIE enough times and a certain percent of the DIM-BULBS will believe it regardless.

Interestingly, "global warming" does not even qualify as a hypothesis. There is no actual observation of significant warming or sea level changes, there is only computer modeling.

What gets me, however, is that global warming/climate change is put forth in non-scientific fashion. If someone were to develop a hypothesis, perform the experiments, and validate the hypothesis, the next step is to invite skeptics to review the data and to duplicate the experiments.

Furthermore, if someone were to find the hypothesis (global warming, in this case) not valid, then that should be GOOD news, n'est ce pas?

Arrrrgh! When I talk to my “Warmist” friends, I ask them questions, but refuse to tell them the answers. I tell them to look it up for themselves.
“What % of the atmosphere is CO2?”(Gotten answers as high as 50%)
“What % of CO2 is manmade?”
“How much does the atmosphere weigh?”
“How much does manmade CO2 weigh?”

I won’t tell them, because they won’t believe me! I tell them to use wiki. Even tho wiki is left-wing, it has these facts straight.

My mistake. Though, when inflation sets in I will be vindicated.

[[Climate Deniers Who Ignore Science Are on ‘Their Own Shrinking Island’]]

Reaaaaally? so it’s now ‘science’ to say “CO2 traps and back radiates heat, man produces CO2- therefore all global warming is due to man”? Let’s look at some actual sicnece and math, shall we?

Man produces so little CO2 that there is no way this side of hell that it could possibly even begin causing climate change- our atmosphere contains 6 quadrillion tons of air molecules- man produces just 400 ppm CO2 meaning that the atmosphere has only 0.00022% CO2 in it produced by man

There is NO way 0.00022% of our atmosphere can possibly capture enough escaping heat and back radiate it at a FRACTION of that amount that it does capture, and cause global climate change- none- period! There are several reasons why it can’t- one, there is not nearly enough- there isn’t even 1 100’th of a percent of the atmosphere to capture escaping heat- meaning that 99.99978% of the heat blows right on past man’s 0.00022% CO2

Secondly, what little heat does get captured by our 0.00022% - only a tiny fraction of that actually gets back radiated I nthe right direction (back towards earth)- the majority of the heat captured gets radiated out to space

Thirdly, what little fraction of the heat does make it’s way back to earth quickly gets overwhelmed by the now cooler earth surface temperatures- it quickly reaches equilibrium and NO change in temperature changes happen because there is such an insignificant amount of heat that makes it’s way back to earth that it is IMPOSSIBLE for such a small amount to cause ANY temperature change- period!

Unfortunately we don’t have any presidential candidates with spine enough to put the lie to ‘man-caused’ global climate change by citing these FACTS about the insignificant amount of CO2 that man produces

PS: One m ore point- rising temps ALWAYS precede CO2 rises In the atmosphere by many many decades- proving that CO2 does NOT cause warming- Scientific evidence all points to this FACT

It’s very very sad watching the world fall for one of the biggest and most blatant lies ever- ‘man-caused’ global warming is a sheer lie! Climates change- always have, always will- but one thing is CERTAIN- man has NEVER been the cause of it

the biggest problem those that believe that man causing the planet to heat up have is that they started to make real outrageous claims 25 years ago and none of it has come to pass. the y have been caught recto actively fudging past temperature numbers. I have in the past pointed out that the people who have PHD in the area nare often ignored in favor of people that have phds but there PHD are in areas like biology or mathematics. I am sure that theses scientists are competent in there field but they are not commenting on there field of emperies. would you listen to a some one that was an expert on climate when it comes to health isues no You listen to your doctor. I personally think that we are near the end of these bozos trying to claim that man is destroying the world through the use of fossil fuels.

1: Oh oh oh.. I know, pick me, pick me! 0.00022% (YES it is this LOW!

2: Man produces 3.4% of all the CO2 In the atmosphere

3: Nearly 6 quadrillion tons

4: This one I’m not sure about- but I would say the number of tons is 0.00022% of 6 quadrillion tons- whatever that equals out to
