Obama’s science czar: Opposing climate views outside the ‘mainstream scientific opinion’
The Daily Caller ^ | 2/26/14 | Michael Bastasch

Posted on 02/26/2014 7:08:14 PM PST by Nachum

White House science czar Dr. John Holdren wasn’t in the mood to be contradicted on whether global warming was causing “extreme weather.” Holdren described climate scientists whose work contradicts the White House’s global warming claims as outside the “scientific mainstream.” Holdren was asked by Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions to cite scientific data that supported claims that droughts and other weather events were being made worse by global warming. Sessions then cited contradicting evidence from climate scientists, including former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer and University of Colorado climate scientist Roger Pielke, Jr. Holdren countered that the likes of Pielke and Spencer

The idea that specific “severe weather events” are being caused by global warming is patently absurd.

I’ve seen data that storms like hurricanes and tornadoes have been fewer in recent years. When these kooks throw in a claim that a specific storm was the result of GW, they are absolutely off the wall.

LOL! Mainstream is soooo IN these days.

To paraphrase a bumpersticker: “well behaved scientists seldom make history.”

They should just go ahead and make it illegal to doubt Obama. Wouldn’t even need to pass it through congress. Obama can just make it so.

We’re on a collision course with national suicide, and the whole thing is rapidly picking up steam.

So was opposing the bloodletting of patients.

So was opposing the geocentric model of planetary motion.

For many years, the treatment of ulcers was surgical, until we found out that a great many cases are caused by H. pylori and can be treated with antibiotics.

Global warming is not settled science. But Democrats are trying to make this into settled politics. So far they have failed. The American people are not buying, they remain skeptical.

Yo, Holdren.
Science is not an "opinion".
And methodological science is most definitely not subject to political "opinion", i.e., ordered science is not to be perverted for a socialist political agenda.
Surely your eyes must be brown, Holdren, so full of shit you are.

Looks like the Mahdi has found another way to ape Uncle Joe, his favorite politician of all time: he’s found his own Lysenko.
