On Wednesday, TheBlaze reported on President Obama’s curious Press Conference admission about climate change and weather events like superstorm Sandy:
“We can’t attribute any particular weather event to climate change.”
(Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
While that statement from the President initially confused many on the Left who believe that man-made global warming is real, he also followed up that claim with statements that appeared to be laying the groundwork for possible second term action on previously failed legislative efforts in areas like “Cap & Trade” or carbon exchanges.
“What we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted even 10 years ago. We do know that the Artic icecap is melting faster than was predicted even five years ago. We do know that … there have been an extraordinary large number of severe weather events here in North America but also around the globe.”
The facts in Mr. Obama’s global warming statement are currently taking fire from several different sources. During Glenn Beck’s radio show, co-host Pat Gray disputed most of the President’s claims.
This afternoon, the Media Research Center (MRC) released a video featuring Dr. Timothy Ball, professor emeritus of the University of Winnipeg. In the clip, Dr. Ball breaks down and refutes virtually every claim made by President Obama.

Nov. 15, 2012 at 9:09pmAnd you wonder why you are losing elections. Finding one “scientist” does not a rebuttal make. Every study I’ve read this past summer reported record ice melt on the north pole. Wind would have little effect if the ice was as solid as it used to be. Denying is not going to make the problem go away. Voters are tired of the lies you are trying to sell. The neocon right is trying to discredit all legitimate science, reporting, and government in general so all you followers will believe the lies. America is on to you and vote against you. Get used to it it will only get worse.

Due more research all those that stated global warming have been denied by as many scientist. I guess if you pay enough you can have scientist tell you what you want, just like pollsters.

I doubt you would believe the truth that, yes, the climate is changing but one has but to look at the cyclical patterns to see we have little to no impact and that temperature varies over the course of decades.

Nov. 16, 2012 at 5:59amFishmagnet, you havent read any REAL reports then. Those compliled here at NOAA all show RECORD GROWTH in the thickness of the polar ice caps. perhaps you might actually TRY reading one of the reports you claim to have read, then you would have something to say… So until you do, would you like some catsuo for on your foot? And one other thing, Wind has no effect on ice, since the air temp is the same nomatter if it’s moving or stationary. The only time it affects something is if it removes the blanket of heated air from around something that produces heat such as a mammal, that effect is known as wind chill…

Nov. 16, 2012 at 10:08amScience does not require a consensus, nor is science ever “settled”. Science is ever changing. It is based on hypothesis, experimentation, and repeatable results. Global warming ignores results that doesn’t fit the narrative, and embraces results that does fit the narrative. There is no experimentation, and no repeatable results. Studying trends is not science. Global warming is a political platform, it is not science. There has been no measurable warming for 16 years. Your narrative is flawed. Get over it.

“Only the loony left and those who benefit from this new religion actually take man made global warming seriously.”
No. All global warming should be taken seriously, however, it’s more likely climate change as opposed to global warming. You yourself stated the jury was still out on what was causing it. I do NOT know that man is causing it, nor do I know man is substantially contributing to it, but it’s obvious and clear that man is contributing to it in some way, no matter how infinitesimal. While we cannot drop everything we do that possibly causes climate change, we certainly can work towards and strive for less pollutants in our air, water and land. We certainly can continue to research how to obtain more and more efficient “green” energy as renewable resources do make sense. Additionally, even if there is only a .01 % chance that climate change is man-made and may harm our environment at some later date, wouldn’t you want to work at finding ways to remedy this that we can all work together on?
Why do both sides of this argument have to be at odds with each other? Cannot anyone be ‘reasonable’ any longer and look at both sides of an issue and find ways to work together? No wonder our politicians are so divided as We the People are as well.

A few hundred years doesn’t even show up on a graph when viewing the entire timeline of what they claim the earth to be. In the 70′s they claimed that there was another ice age coming.

Lib science reminds me of a college sophomore (from Latin meaning “wise-foolish”) who believes that each thing HE discovers is new and can’t wait to explain to his parents all the things that they’ve been mistaken about for the last 20 years or so.
That’s exactly how BHO looked to me when he was berating Romney about his, according to the most learned one, utter lack of understanding regarding bayonets and horses.
If MMGW were a Conservative movement the Libs would be condescendingly explaining to us why the glaciers receded long before people could have possibly had any impact on the climate.

Nov. 15, 2012 at 6:56pmHow can any journalist justify calling themself that, much less accept a paycheck, when they merely parrot what the president or his minions claim.
AlGore was caught in so many obvious and ridiculous lies one would think he would never be taken seriously, but he managed to get a Nobel prize for pushing lies about the world and our interaction with it.
Of course, the scientists willing to fudge data, exclude data, and twist statistics to get their preconceived notions (as opposed to hypotheses) ‘proven’ are as guilty, since they are the ones giving the politicians the idea that somehow we are responsible for all the bad things in the world…
if we’re not careful, someone will claim that the biggest countries should have to pay for any natural disaster relief and rebuilding since ‘we are responsible’ for the climate tumult that triggered it.
is it wrong to hope that the mythical December cataclysm ruins the power base these people in Washington and the UN have built, returning it to where it belongs, the PEOPLE?! after the last election, i fear that’s what it will take, the sheeple are too numerous to vote the parasites out of office.
