Obama's Energy Secretary Says Climate Change Not Debatable
Big Government ^ | 05/23/2013 | William Bigelow

Posted on 05/23/2013 8:47:46 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Ernest Moniz, Barack Obama’s new Secretary of Energy, is making it clear there is no room for dissent regarding climate change. Speaking to his department’s employees after he was sworn in, Moniz said, “Let me make it very clear that there is no ambiguity in terms of the scientific basis calling for a prudent response on climate change. I am not interested in debating what is not debatable. There is plenty to debate as we try and move forward on our climate agenda.”

They must have not vetted him at all. The Sec of Energy can do a lot of harm. He’s already slowing exports of gas.

This guy was picked by Obama because he believes there is no debate. Therefore he will not brook interference with his agenda.

Another moron picked to help destroy America.

That’s the SAME SCIENTIFIC THEORY the socialist climate scientists used to arrive at their AGW CONCLUSIONS.

This yahoo needs to go back to college.
Its called a “Theory” and anyone who says its “Fact” has never taken basic high school science.

Which is why today is another COLD day, the planet is heating up but that causes coldness. Hmmm, liberals, the idiots that took liberal art courses like women-studies are trying to tell us they understand scientific issues.

And with liberals words are everything. They went from calling it global warming to climate change. I remember in the 70’s we were all going to freeze to death and it was man’s fault.

Questions to Moniz:

1.) “Is your ‘climate agenda’ a theory that remains to be tested by spending our taxpayers dollars?”

2.) Which is cheaper, to debate with words, or to test with dollars?

3.) Have you ever worked, for profit, a day in your sorry life?

Not to mention in the 1960’s and 70’s when liberals said we were all going to starve to death because the planet couldn’t possibly support more than 4 billion people.

Liberals are really stupid. They go with ignorance and emotion versus facts and numbers. Trying to explain to a liberal the amount of agriculture land is very small and more could be used to grow food just went straight over their heads.

I read somewhere that they wanted to blast the ice in the north artic to keep the temp down. Now they are running arount taking pics of the ice breaking off in a tizzy. I forgot about the population crisis they created.
They have a God syndrome.

Ah, yes. Anyone ho disagrees with us is imply not permitted to do so.

This ends the argument.

Imagine if courts worked this way.

prosecutor: He’s guilty.
Defense attorney: “We’re going to show he’s not.”
Judge: His guilt is not up for discussion. it’s not arguable.

This opens up a great opportunity for anti-GW scientists to challenge this prick to a public debate. “What’s the matter? Ya chicken?”
