President Obama took time in his Friday speech at a California Wal-Mart to bash climate deniers for obstructing him by debating the science behind man-made global warming.
So unfortunately, inside of Washington weve still got some climate deniers who shout loud, but theyre wasting everybodys time on a settled debate, Obama said, doubling down on remarks made during his State of the Union Address this year by adding that, Climate change is a fact.
Here in California, youve seen these effects firsthand, Obama told the audience at a Mountain View Wal-Mart. You know whats happening. And increasingly, more and more Americans do including, by the way, many Republicans outside of Washington.
Obamas speech to announce more executive orders to promote solar energy development and energy efficiency subsidies comes just days after the White House released the third National Climate Assessment (NCA).
The NCA claimed that global warming was already happening and had caused the U.S. to warm about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1895. The report also claimed that temperatures could increase another 4 degrees Fahrenheit and sea levels could rise 4 feet in the coming decades if no action is taken.
Hundreds of scientists, experts and businesses, not-for-profits, local communities all contributed over the course of four years, Obama said. What they found was unequivocally that climate change is not some far-off problem in the future. Its happening now. Its causing hardship now.(continued)

Regardless of where you stand on “Climate Change” the only facts are that we learn more over time and what we thought was settle turns out to be wrong.
Think of Copernicus who discovered that the earth circles the sun but it was settled belief that the sun circled the earth; Copernicus was called a heretic.
Here in Denver, on the 12th of May, we’re shoveling A FOOT OF “GLOBAL WARMING” from our walks and driveways.
Do these windmills ever get put in climate models?
But Owebqma had to give the speech to write off the millions of dollars for attending a fundraiser to the taxpayers.
What is settled debate in science? Typical Marxist term.
Pray America wakes up
bttt
Yeah...like Obama and his Keystone delays.
In Science, NOTHING is “settled fact”. Since Mr Obama wishes to declare something as such, he is also openly declaring it to be NON-scientific.
If I don’t believe Mr. Pos on anything so he picks climate change to lie about?
Can I see this dumb mf’s grades now?
Since AGW/Climate-change is not science, the science cannot be "settled."
islamism
I agree. My point is that the AGW lie is being propagated by the “science establishment” (including the whole network of grants and grant-money) and that it’s hard to blame the politicians when it’s the scientists themselves who are fabricating this hoax.
What do politicians know? Most of them are pretty stupid about everything. If their science advisers tell them AGW is real, they are going to run with it.
I’m allowed ;-)

Yes, I typed it.

The people who are promoting the idea that we should limit the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere because of effects on the global climate somehow manage to ignore the fact that nothing the US can do will even substantially reduce the rate of growth of global CO2 emissions.
I certainly hope the climate change theorists are as wrong as they appear to be - because the train has left the station if they are not.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Latest from Global Warming News Site
Led by a few and followed by a huge number because that's where the money is. The few are people like Hansen who adjusted temperatures to artificially cool the past by ignoring urbanization but "correcting" various imaginary warming biases (see recent articles at WUWT).
Another leader is Trenberth, who while a competent scientist in his field, shows pure biased ignorance anytime he talks about any topic a little bit beyond his speciality (weather and climate dynamics). It's led by Mann who took tree rings and incompetent statistics to a new level. Eventually a lot of followers corrected his sloppy work, but the hockey stick remains ingrained in the political landscape.
The leaders are generally arrogant statists and the followers are syncophants. Science takes a back seat to political correctness.
