US President Barack Obama on Friday hit out at naysayers he blamed for peddling "cynical" claims that global warming is a myth to derail a landmark climate change bill in Congress.
Obama warned that the closer the Senate came to passing legislation which has already cleared the House of Representatives, the more opponents would resort to underhand tactics.
"The naysayers, the folks who would pretend that this is not an issue, they are being marginalized," Obama warned in a speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"But I think it's important to understand that the closer we get, the harder the opposition will fight and the more we'll hear from those whose interest or ideology run counter to the much needed action that we're engaged in.
"There are those who will suggest that moving toward clean energy will destroy our economy," Obama said, a day after the release of a poll showing fewer Americans see solid evidence of global warming.
"There are going to be those who... make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, claims whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary."

It will be utopia when Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Obama and all liberal ilk are out of politics and live FAR far away on some distant island.
Too many will compromise their very souls. They are fools and dupes. I have no sympathy for them.
When you're talking trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs, you're {expletive}-right we're going to be cynical. I don't want some babe-in-the-woods, johnny-come-lately socialist running off half-cocked on questionable science and sensationalism.
...the more opponents would resort to underhand tactics...
The opponents will resort to underhanded tactics? Well well well, there's the pot calling the kettle black. The GW zealots ridicule, deride, and personally attack anyone who dares oppose them. They have to, if they tried to engage in meaningful debate they'd quickly lose based on facts. Hence they, the GW zealots, have to resort to underhanded tactics and ad-homineum attacks.
"The naysayers, the folks who would pretend that this is not an issue, they are being marginalized," Obama warned in a speech...
So rather than make your case to support the notion of human-caused GW, you're marginalizing the naysayers, rather than refuting their arguments. Now who is resorting to underhanded tactics?
...those whose interest or ideology run counter to the much needed action that we're engaged in...
The problem here sport is that not everyone agrees there is "much needed" action. So until you convince us otherwise, do not denounce people for acting on their beliefs.
"There are those who will suggest that moving toward clean energy will destroy our economy," Obama said, a day after the release of a poll showing fewer Americans see solid evidence of global warming.
What obama knows about running a real business or good macro economic policy would fit on a post-it with room left over for everyone on your favorite sports team to sign it. Seriously.
"There are going to be those who... make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, claims whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary."
No, wrong again obama. The "overwhelming" evidence is of questionable scientific validity. Hence we do not believe your sensationalist, crisis-mode, hurry up and give me what I want, claims. Just look at porkus, how well did that work out? Debit and deficit climbing to record levels. Unemployment continues to climb to levels not seen in a quarter century... We've seen you rush jobs, no thanks.
Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister, would be proud of this Evil creature of Satan.
Precisely my thought, too. This man talks like a low life ‘hood community organizer. Not the leader of the free world. It is pathetic and embarrassing for our nation.
You’ve got that right. People are waking up more each day. When their pocket books are hit, they wake up. It’s a sad fact that it takes that to wake them up.
With the "overwhelming scientific evidence" all on the warmers side of the argument, one would think that they would welcome a good public debate, yet that appears to be the last thing they want. Funny that!
Well put. This guy must get tired of himself.
If I knew any photo shop, the scumbag Ubama's face would be on the above image, where it belongs.
His face belongs on Baghdad Bob’s ...behind.
From this moment forward, we debate only one issue with respect to AGW: Why is the other side intentionally lying about it? Fraudelently claming there is a crisis? Is their actual goal to impose world tyranny and taxation using AGW as a ruse?
Those are the only substantive issues. When the topic arises, that’s our message, and we have to stay on it like pitbulls on a postman’s leg.

what I can not believe is Omarxist was not laughed out of auditorium at MIT it is a school of scientist and engineers, they would not compromise the truth of scientific evidence for government funding...would they???
>>
Yes.
“There are those who will suggest that moving toward clean energy will destroy our economy,” Obama said”
No, I think you took care of that already Obama!
MIT seems to be doing real science as always, and I doubt that they would worry about their funding - they turn away far more great work than they have time to accept.
Their only flaw is being polite in the face of evil and deceit.
