At Commencement, Obama Mocks Lawmakers Who Deny Climate Change

President Obama, appearing emboldened after his recent move to cut carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, on Saturday ridiculed members of Congress who deny climate change or plead scientific ignorance as an alibi for avoiding an inconvenient truth.

Speaking in gleefully sarcastic terms to a commencement ceremony at the University of California, Irvine, Mr. Obama likened those who deny climate change to people who would have told John F. Kennedy, at the dawn of the space program, that the moon “was made of cheese.”

He saved his most scathing words for lawmakers who say they are not qualified to judge the issue because they are not scientists. These people, the president said, recognize the truth but will not utter it for fear of being “run out of town by a radical fringe that thinks climate science is a liberal plot.”

“I’m not a scientist either,” Mr. Obama told this young audience, “but we’ve got some good ones at NASA. I do know the overwhelming majority of scientists who work on climate change, including some who once disputed the data, have put the debate to rest.”

[GOPJ]

Scientists who don’t ‘believe’ in global warming get fired. Yeah, that’s a real ‘consensus’...

[sauropod]

I get no end of amusement that somebody without a hard science degree is deriding others for the same lack of credentials.

[GOPJ]

Obama should give the same speech at MIT... tell those kids that ‘science’ is about consensus... he'll get fewer applause than he got at West Point.

More wag the dog bravo sierra from the Marxist-in-Chief.

Anything to deflect attention from the disaster he has made of our economy and the gaping holes he's carved in our national security.

20 January 2017 = 27 February 1933.

Unless we stop it!

Happy 239th Birthday To The
United States Army!
Then it’s hi! hi! hey! The Army’s on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong;
For where’er we go, You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along."

When Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it threw more CO2 into the atmosphere than all of mankind in history. The global temperature DROPPED by 0.5 C for a bout 1 year.

Liberals who actually believe this tripe believe they are powerful enough to change the earth’s climate.

[EEGator]

Obama is an asshole of the first degree.
