Obama to UIC graduates: Climate change deniers ignoring science
SF Gate ^ | June 16, 2014 | NEDRA PICKLER

Posted on 06/14/2014 1:08:33 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

President Barack Obama said denying climate change is like arguing the moon is made of cheese, as he issued a call to action on global warming to Saturday's graduates of the University of California, Irvine.

Obama issued a call to action to the tens of thousands gathered at Angel Stadium even though he said Congress "is full of folks who stubbornly and automatically reject the scientific evidence" and say climate change is a hoax or fad.

"Many others duck the question by saying, 'Hey, I'm not a scientist,'" Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery. "Let me translate: what that means is, 'I accept that manmade climate change is real, but if I admit it, I'll be run out of town by a radical fringe that thinks climate science is a liberal plot.'"

I'm sure these graduates are all lined up for government jobs and student loan forgiveness. Pass the hopium pipe and toss your graduation caps in the air!

Obama knows science about as well as he knows American History.

‘I accept that manmade climate change is real, but if I admit it, I’ll be run out of town by a radical fringe that thinks climate science is a liberal plot.’”

Li’l slip of the tongue there Barry.
But notice how they label everyone that has an opposing opinion “radical fringe”
MAJOR PROJECTION!

Science says that, at a minimum, the parameters of any given theory have to be fulfilled for the theory to have any possibility of being true.

No smoking hot spot

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.

If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

“Let me translate: what that means is, ‘I accept that (life begins a birth) but if I admit it, I’ll be run out of town by a radical fringe...”

“So I’ll say that is above my pay-grade”.

Since Obama put a ban on human cloning, I always wanted to ask him when the life of a clone begins. But I’d be labeled crazy for asking the question.

This idiot just doesn’t get what graduation speakers typically focus on, does he? None of his graduation speeches have focused on the students, their achievements or where they are headed in life.

Junk science.

Let’s talk fetal development now ... talk about people ignoring science.

31,000 scientists say there is no scientific evidence of global warming. I'm sure they know more then a cheap politician. http://ossfoundation.us/projects/environment/global-warming/myths/31000-scientists-say-no-convincing-evidence

If scientists were going around the world preaching the troubles of climate change, I might listen. But when a politician tries to sell me something, I automatically know it’s bullsh!t.

What? No 99.99% of all scientists agree with ME!!

Oblabber — “No matter what you do in life, you will run up against a stubborn status quo and people determined to stymie your best efforts, who say you can’t do something and shouldn’t bother trying.”

Normally people are proposing radical new things that will make life better, more enjoyable, more fun, more economical, more healthy and longer.

The “cures” for AGW will bring impoverishment, more government freebies to the enslaved class, higher death rates, environmental cataclysm, despoilment of the US landscape, fried and chopped wildlife, wiped out insect populations, extreme pollution in China to make solar panels — all for zero gain or benefit.
