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.

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.

At least scientists don’t claim that “the science is settled” about gravity. They admit that no one really understands gravity. There are at least four competing theories of gravity. (Not to be confused with the descriptive Law of Gravitation.)
Scientists studying gravity know what “science” means — unlike the grant-seekers posing as climate “scientists”.
“Wall Street Financial Institutions are starting to plan...”

Yeah, the Wall Street crooks are planning on how they can rake in billions of dollars from cap and trade and other so-called global warming scams. Dirtbags.
Biden the groper should have visited Maine last month.
February was the coldest month in Maine’s history.
Well, Biden is technically correct...denying climate change would like denying gravity...
Man hasn’t a thing to do with either one of them....
GLOBAL WARMING BOOGIEMAN
With the alleged demise of communism (actually the communists simply renamed themselves “progressives” and came here (where most — but not ALL — of them became “democrats”) and elsewhere in Europe and the world), the left needed another “Boogieman” with which frighten the masses so they could be more easily herded into their lusted for and unattainable pseudo-egalitarian and Utopian “New World Order” (where some are “more equal than others”, thank you Mr. Orwell!).
Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) now “Climate Change” drew the short straw!
The alleged “science” behind AGW has been co-opted and corrupted by an unfortunate number of grant money whores in the “academic scientific community” who, failing receipt of that next GOVERNMENT GRANT, would be forced out into the — SHUDDER — PRIVATE SECTOR to get REAL JOBS. They much prefer to continue their taxpayer subsidized NAVAL GAZING in the cloistered comfort of a TENURED POSITION where they have the added benefit of the opportunity to share their leftist doctrine with new generations of future grant money whores. And the cycle repeats!
that’s magic.
just touch Obama’s arm and you’ll be healed,if you don’t faint first.
Global Warming guru kogi – wearing his ever present Nobel medal – is seen here en-route to an important “scientific” conference in Nassau hosted by the UN/IPCC where he was to be the keynote speaker.
Topics on the agenda were to have included “Finding a Good Bail Bondsman,” “Not ALL Criminal Lawyers Are Sharks,” “Changing Careers for Dummies,” “You Want Fries With That?,” “How To Encrypt Emails,” “The Best Prison Jobs,” “Getting Along With Your Cellmate” and “Getting Used to Sleeping On Your Back.”
A sudden – and unfortunate – blast of what the “scientist” in charge of the conference termed “global warming” caused the meeting to be rescheduled until Algore can be thawed some time next Spring – assuming there will BE one.
Our reporter has learned that the influential conservative web site Free Republic has launched a contribution drive to rent a freezer locker in which to keep Gore for the 10 to 15 years estimated it will take for the so-called “mainstream media” to begin covering the Climategate story.
ROFLMAO! "Stand up Chuck!"
Ummm....No. It is not remotely like denying gravity. Geez.
We need a picture of Cletus and his other brother Cletus, with Oblabme's & Biden's faces photoshopped in bred...
Yes, Biden, a certifiable moron, is a person to whom we listen.
There is no such thing as Gravity. The Earth Sucks!
Word!
Biden: I haven’t got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain?
Biden: I don’t know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don’t they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you’re right.
Except one is Real and the other is NOT!! Remember, you can prove one just by dropping an Apple!!
Warming on the other hand is hard to prove in winter with all the SNOW!!!
People in Texas say that we would have slipped off into the Gulf of Mexico if Oklahoma didn’t suck! So I guess that some sucking is good!
You took the words right out of my mouth. There have been variances in weather over the centuries. The is why the Vikings gave Greenland it’s name. A few centuries later the canals in Venice froze. Driving cars, manufacturing, and other human activities had nothing to do with it. I am sure the academic elites and their followers would have us burned at the stake for stating the obvious.
