Obama group: ‘Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening’

Obama group: ‘Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening’ By Ben Geman - 08/12/13 04:40 PM ET

Organizing for Action, the advocacy group born from President Obama’s reelection campaign, has a simple message for its 35 million Twitter followers as it seeks political support for the White House's climate agenda.

Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening. #ScienceSaysSo — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 12, 2013

That’s one of several OFA climate-related tweets Monday ahead of a series of events the group is holding Tuesday in support for Obama’s climate plans.

The group, in a press release, said OFA volunteers are “holding events nationwide [Tuesday] to hold members of Congress accountable for their positions on climate change.”

Obama’s plans rest almost entirely on administrative actions that don’t need congressional approval, including carbon regulations for power plants.

Republican lawmakers argue the plan will hurt the economy and are pushing bills to block it.

Organizing for Action has been fighting back by focusing on climate change skeptics in the GOP ranks. The group is also trying to provide political cover for lawmakers who back Obama’s plans.

“OFA volunteers will turn out in districts represented by members of Congress who are ready to be a part of the solution and support action on climate change. And in the districts of climate change deniers, OFA will be handing out ‘awards’ to those members for their perseverance in standing strong against the overwhelming judgment of science,” the group said in a summary of Tuesday’s actions.

I’m pretty sure the earth is basically spherical.

And the climate is constantly changing, unrelated to man’s activities.

‘Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening’

And collectivists are immature, corrupt, greedy, amoral, selfish, brutal, hypocritical savages.

Some things don’t, can’t change.

Yes the climate is changing every day, I’m sure that our great resident has noticed that while enjoying himself out on the golf course. Now that being said, what has man to do with it? How has he impacted it in any significant way? Everything the “experts” have told us so far seems to be wrong.

Yes, and gravity and pressure drive mainly temperature, and the Earth’s gravity has not changed.

All my life I’ve believed that the Earth was round and that gravity existed. Now that these retarded maggots are saying it, I’ve got my doubts. I just don’t believe anything a lying bass turd says.

Gravity always existed. The Earth always was round. Climate change has been happening for millions of years.

There.

Actually an oblate spheroid, even.

And the climate is always changing...whether humans drive cars or cows fart.

Which is why the Fraud in Chief is...blowing hot air.

It’s an oblate spheroid, actually, although I doubt if a single one of these condescending jerks understands the term. “Climate change is happening” - yeah, so what? That’s what it does. “Climate change is happening, therefore I get to run your life” does not follow.

Every day it feels more like 1984.

What is essentially a propaganda organization for the DNC is wholly embraced and supported by the executive branch of the government.

They don’t even have the shame to pretend to need separation between government institutions and political ideology.

Oblate spheroid. Somewhat compressed at the poles.

That's what they told me in culinary school anyway.

How many articles have to come out pointing to Global Warming being BS? I’ve read at least five “Earth cooling” articles in the last week alone.

OK, you changed the “emergency” from man caused Global Warming to..... Climate Change. News flash, idiots-— the climate DOES change, seasonally and from year to year. And MAN has nothing to do with it, and neither does CO2. The Sun however has a great deal to do with it, as well as the tilt of the earth’s axis changing from time to time. Wonder what these Goldman Sachs investor scientist pretenders will say when the Earth’s magnetic poles suddenly reverse themselves— and the catastrophic potential of that is quite real, navigationally and otherwise (like, uh, tides).

There have been numerous ice ages followed by warming periods in earth’s history.

During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice.

Obviously things have thawed since then, but it was because Cro-Magnon man had coal fired power plants.

“Climate Change” is no longer “Global Warming” because the first lie was disproved with data.

“Change” allows any data to support your socialist utopian solutions.

M-Theory says only in 11 dimensions; Earth has been described as an “oblate spheroid”. And a ouija board is more dependable than climatology.

I won’t argue that there is climate change, I WILL ARGUE that man-caused climate change is still very much in debate and that every suggested remedy in terms of human action is enormously expensive for an almost insignificant effect!

Climate change is a religion and there is no swaying its devotees.

Certainly there in climate change - we have been in constant change since creation.

But it is caused by natural phenonemum, some cyclic, some solar changes, but humans are bit players at best.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

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 ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

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?
