President Obama, appearing emboldened after his recent move to cut carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, on Saturday ridiculed members of Congress who deny climate change or plead scientific ignorance as an alibi for avoiding an inconvenient truth.
Speaking in gleefully sarcastic terms to a commencement ceremony at the University of California, Irvine, Mr. Obama likened those who deny climate change to people who would have told John F. Kennedy, at the dawn of the space program, that the moon was made of cheese.
He saved his most scathing words for lawmakers who say they are not qualified to judge the issue because they are not scientists. These people, the president said, recognize the truth but will not utter it for fear of being run out of town by a radical fringe that thinks climate science is a liberal plot.
Im not a scientist either, Mr. Obama told this young audience, but weve got some good ones at NASA. I do know the overwhelming majority of scientists who work on climate change, including some who once disputed the data, have put the debate to rest.

Global Warming on Free Republic
"Soon after Hitler came to power, the regime began to dismiss Jews and political opponents from civil service positions, which included academic positions at all levels. During the same period, Nazi physicists, such as the Nobel-Prize-winning Johannes Stark, began an attack on modern theoretical physics, including relativity theory and quantum mechanics, calling it "Jewish physics." Heisenberg and other leaders of the physics profession attempted to oppose these developments, but without much long-term success. (emphasis added)"
If the Nazis listened to Heisenberg, they might have had an atom bomb before the Americans. With all the fantastic weapons the Nazis did make; e.g., Me262 (sparrow}, the buzz bomb, and the V2 weapon; etc. I am quite thankful the Germans' work on the atom bomb was not as sucessful.
And guess what folks...those kids probably ate it up.
Not just wrong, 5 orders of magnitude wrong . Volcanoes release more than 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Pinatubo released about 42Mt: http://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/gerlach/ Worldwide manmade CO2 emissions were 31.2 Gt in 2010 http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ieo/emissions.cfm Cumulative emissions are well over 1,000 Gt.
