Obama's Underwater Manhattan Doesn't Come from Science, but from Science Fiction
frontpagemag.com ^ | June 10, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

So Obama decided to warn everyone that Manhattan is about to turn into Atlantis.

"The majority of people believe in things like science -- and scientists. And so when scientists tell us that the planet is getting warmer and we need to do something about it, the majority of people think that's a good idea, let's do something about that, because we don't want Manhattan to be underwater."

Manhattan going underwater isn't science. It's science fiction.

It's the sort of thing you get from watching movies like The Day After Tomorrow where evil Republican politicians neglect the Flying Global Warming Monster and suddenly waves cover Manhattan and everything freezes.

That's not science. It's hardly even science fiction.

I don’t deny climate, I just happen to think anybody who claims to predict it is full of shit.
It was about 101 or 102 F on the front porch at 2pm today, it is now 11:30 pm and 42 F on the front porch.
That’s not even particularly extreme up here.

Manhattan will eventually be under water.

It may take a few million years, but you can count on it! ;-)

They have a convoluted explanation for that.

I was sure they probably did. I haven’t read it much less studied it because you know, the kitchen needs cleaned, I discovered fleas on my dog, today is hair wash day. Just too much other important things to do.

The last time The Won told the truth was in late 2008 when he said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming this country”.

Nor do they say what it is. What is it? Global warming or what. I think its just smoke and mirrors.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Maybe one of Obama’s Isis/globalist pals is planning on nuking the coast of NY? That would cause flooding.

FYI - 82 degrees in normally red hot Sacramento. I hope people are updating the doomsday computer models with current data.

Didn’t you know that there has NEVER BEEN A HIGHER percentage of CO 2 in the atmosphere in the history of this planet? ....sarcasm off....

Truthfully though, I have heard this argument endlessly. The question to ask in return is, HOW DO YOU KNOW?


Well we do know CO2 is a LAGGING indicator of warming. Back when science was actually taught, it was called Q10

I agree with sentences 2 through 4. However, the Sun does not control the climates on this planet. It is our atmosphere that controls the climates. It is clouds and the Jet Stream that influences the climates. The tilt of our planet and the speed of rotation influence the climates.

One thing that seems to have no effect is the distance between the SUN and the EARTH, as far as it's elliptical orbit goes. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter, farther in summer.

Lot of serious climate guys will disagree with you on that. I mean hell, what heats the atmosphere? It ain’t CO2.

Of course it does. But the energy from the Sun hits the Earth evenly. It is the atmosphere and the tilt/spin of the planet that give it 'climates'.

Look at the moon which doesn't have an atmosphere. All day long, very hot, all night long, very cold. Day after day. Same.

IMHO.
The guy is a total moron that depends on others of equal for
the most part, lack of intelligence to tell him what to say and how to act.
