Obama Hits Climate Change Deniers

Obama Compares Skepticism Towards Climate Change To Believing Moon Made Of Cheese. Yeah. Them deniers is just plain dumb. Must be all the CO2 they are exhaling.

Meanwhile, The Guardian UK says the sea surface temperature data does not match the models. So scientists are looking for new data.

A widely reported “pause” in global warming may be an artefact of scientists looking at the wrong data, says a climate scientist at the European Space Agency.

Global average sea surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively flat for the past 15 years. This has prompted speculation from some quarters that global warming has stalled.

Of course global warming hasn’t stalled. That could lead to a catastrophic funding stall.

So what is the new measure of global warming to be?

Climate scientists have been arguing for some time that the lack of warming of the sea surface is due to most of the extra heat being taken up by the deep ocean. A better measure, he said, was to look at the average rise in sea levels. The oceans store the vast majority of the climate’s heat energy. Increases in this stored energy translate into sea level rises.

There is one little problem with that. The rate of sea level rise is declining. Uh. Oh.

    I would love to find out how many STEM courses the POTUS took in college. Al Gore took no math courses and a Science for Poets course – or two.

    It appears to me that President “Science is Settled” Obama’s skills at balancing equations are as good as his skills as balancing our budget.

    Well, of course the Moon is made of Blue Cheese and Cheddar (white English). Everyone knows that.
