Biden: Denying Climate Change ‘Almost Like Denying Gravity’

By Phillip Swarts -March 7, 2015

Vice President Joe Biden slammed those who question climate change, saying that ignoring the scientific evidence is “almost like denying gravity now.”

“I think it’s close to mindless,” Mr. Biden said in a preview clip for the upcoming season of HBO’s Vice.

The vice president pointed specifically to 2012’s Hurricane Sandy as an example of how climate change is making the world’s weather patterns more severe.

“All of a sudden people who were saying it couldn’t happen; they’re now knowing they have to plan for another one of these storms, and another and another and another,” Mr. Biden said, Mediaite reported Friday.

He also pointed to Wall Street financial institutions that are starting to plan and make investments based on the effects of climate change.

“When the financial institutions begin to price in the cost of carbon for cost of doing business, you know it’s reality,” Mr. Biden said.

According to NASA, atmospheric data for the past 650,000 years shows that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has never been higher than 300 parts per million — until 1950. Now, in 2014, the level is estimated to be at 400 parts per million.

Do you think Joe can say “anthropogenic?”

Now we all see why Obama hasn’t been impeached.

I would deny gravity if Biden tried to tell me it’s caused by humans.

I don’t deny climate change. I deny that we had anything to do with it and can’t do a damn thing about it in the future. Earth is going to survive this human infestation and will be here long after we’re gone.

Denying that Joe Biden is an alcoholic nutter is almost like denying gravity.

..... The entire global warming movement should be FORCED to re-prove their point using actual facts ..... not the now proven to be tainted and skewed data which automatically disqualifies any conclusions arrived at using the proper scientific method.

..... Heck .... If the country is going to flush a trillion dollars down the toilet ..... isn't that the least that should be asked of them?

Well, then...it’s true: He IS full of nuthin’
/s

“Close to mindless”
LOL
...the Puppet needs a partner, after all. Quite the match up.

I could while away the hours, conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain.
And my head I’d be scratchin’ while
my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
I’d unravel every riddle for any individ’le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I’d be thinkin’
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean’s near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I’d sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin’ my head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.

“I think it’s close to mindless,” Mr. Biden said

Well, Joe, if anyone would know, it would be you.

When he dies, he should donate his brain to the NFL for use in the traumatic concussion studies program; as a control representative for the “Severely Damaged” Group!

It is all of the hot gas that Uncle Joe, The Big O, Hellary, Chuck U Schumer, and the rest of the progressive pigs hurl at every mic that is pointed at them. Such pollution.

Gravity is predictable. If I drop a ball from a tower I can tell you exactly how long it takes to hit the ground.

The global warm mongers have yet to be right about any predictions.

No one denies climate change. Sensible people just deny that it is caused by humans and that a 1 degree change in temperature will doom mankind or even have an impact. We do believe that reducing carbon emissions at the expense of having electricity and cars available on demand WILL certainly harm mankind.

I am fairly sure the experiments to develop, support and challenge have been independently run for hundreds of years. I am also fairly certain that the current theory of gravity (which gets refined frequently) makes very accurate predictions about real world outcomes (observable facts).

Hey, Idiot-boy VP Joey B, how well have the best anthropomorphic and CO2 global-warming models been making predictions lately?

Didn’t Al Gore himself predict that the east coast would be under water and the Arctic ice would be gone by now?

Honestly, just shut up.
