Restoring science to its rightful place – is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
In the blame game, the Obama administration isn’t about to stop with Fox News. Instead, it’s moving on to lowly scientists.
Last month, President Obama gave a somewhat chilling, if somewhat ignored, speech on climate change at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He stated that any scientific debate about the magnitude of global warming is unscrupulous, decrying “those who . . . make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary.”
Then, the president talked tough, saying, “We’ll just have to deal with those people,” language familiar to anyone who knows the vagaries of Chicago politics.
Via Glenn Reynolds, who notices a pattern.
I see you can’t use “it’s” properly, either.
He can start with Al or has he already done that?
That’s all you’ve got Harry?? That’s “it”??
Let’s see if the thugs “deal with” Dr. Lindzen.
I did that just for you, Harry. 🙂
Obama is super cereal this time.
He will have to deal with Al. Al just admitted that CO2 isnt even the main cause of whatever warming is happening.

“..Gore explored new studies – published only last week – that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming.
Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions. ”
This from a Nov 4 aricle. Looks like the climbdown has begun.
You did something for Hairyballs, Kate? Did you fix it? ‘Cause the “its” up there is correct.
See?
Silly Hairyballs.
These liberals/progressives….desperately clinging to the idea that the world is on the verge of disaster. You’d think they’d be thrilled it’s not actually happening!!!
Desperate for something to believe in, something to worship, they keep on. A nice side benefit, of course, is that Big Green is a huge money-making venture, too, even if it’s all a fraud.

This is true while they arent in charge. Then it all changes. Witness the H1N1 “debate”
Yes,Harry J. Balsac has joined Buster Highman and Dick Gozinya on the SDA proofreading staff.
Not a real news agency (FNS); not real scientists (warming deniers); not a real woman (Sarah Palin); not a real black man (Clarence Thomas); not real American citizens (“they cling to their guns and religion”); not a real ally (Israel, Great Britain); not a real enemy (Iran, Russia, Cuba, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuala, etc.); etc.
Anyone else detect a pattern here? What does all this unreality have in common? Wrong politics.
Not a real President.

The White House transcipt of Obama’s speech
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-challenging-americans-lead-global-economy-clean-energy
has the words “So we’re just going to have to work on those folk” rather than “We’ll just have to deal with those people”. I suppose it’s possible that the transcript differs from the video, but I doubt it. I don’t know cause my computer’s mute.
Good one Garth …
“The administration did a great job of increasing the ratings of Fox News. Maybe it can do the same for dissident scientists.”
That last line is a wonderful shot at the incompetence and inability of Obongo to know how to ‘deal’ with stuff that happens outside Chicago.
I tells ya now .. the shootin’ down there ain’t far away now … Obongo is the most polarizing leader since our own despotic Pierre E Turdo.
In Obongo’s world nothing is real. And Chicago will always be the “second city”.

“I see you can’t use ‘it’s’ properly, either.”
Oh, who the hell can anyway?
It’s high time we obliterated the useless apostrophe.
Think of all the paper and ink we’ll save…
Think of the environment…
Think of the children [sobs]…
Harry you, knuckle dragging, tin hat, simpleton.
“Its” is a possessive pronoun. Its interpretation is something like “that which belongs to it”, where “it” stands for some previously defined object. In the previous sentence, the object being referred to is the word “its”, and the thing that belongs to it is its interpretation.
Examples:
He left it dead, and with its head he went galumphing back
Love rears its ugly head.
Cheese it, it’s the Grammar Police!
“It’s” is a contraction. It is short for “it is” (or occasionally for “it has”). It’s not a way to ascribe a property to some “it”. Yes, I know that this would make sense given that the general rule for forming a possessive is to tack on “‘s”: fool’s errand, brewer’s yeast, horse’s ass. “It’s” is an exception to this rule, and I honestly apologize on behalf of the infuriating English language. I didn’t invent this stupid rule, but it’s hardwired into my brain like gender of nouns to French speakers.
Examples:
It’s a small world, after all. It’s a small world, after all. It’s a small world, after all. It’s a small world, after all.
You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about.
Well, it’s been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long day.
And now, for something completely different,…..It’s……..
The left(in this case Harry) are always such nitpicky,persnickety,fuddy-duddy assholes.
Garth 9:59 Pithy.
It’s obvious that there is a wee problem with Ballsack’s language chip—-he must be from that series which cannot use contractions.
I have noticed that OBOZO/TOTUS makes frequent use of the term “folks” in a clumsey attempt to appear folksy/personable/????
Now he has succeeded in giving the so-called “denier” scientists a bigger audience….clever….
Is “I’s the b’y ” acceptable to wrinkly nutz?
Obama’s puppet masters must be seriously worried about the increasing public opposition to the grand political narrative of AGW. When Soros, Gore and Strong come down on him, this is the best that Rahm can script him with?
Barack Obama – not a real President
My Gawd I feel honoured. I’ve always thought of myself as a meek and mild person. But now views on
climate, which I share with many others, have drawn the ire of the US President!
Wow! Will big grant funding follow?
Anyway – since there may be a Chicago hitman outside my office any minute –
I’d better say this again – if there is anything to be believed about climate, it is this: it can’t be predicted.
Let anyone who disagrees show otherwise.
On the proofreading staff…ah yes.
He will be studying with such stalwarts as Mr. Smelly B. Hind, and the aeromatic Mr. G. Howie Fartz.
Hope they all get along!
> We’ll just have to deal with those people
Did he actually say those words?
And there was no one there to whistle and clap him down? Sheeple! Sheeple! Sheeple!
Know what Harry, you make me sick. In fact you give me the shit’s.
PS:
Don’t forget to nit pick about my not using a question mark.
In the meantime, take a course in English.
I’d like to thank Black Mamba for the “it’s vs its” link. There is a lot of grammar that I have forgotten many moons ago so it is nice to get clarification.
To get back on track, this White House seems to have trouble taking criticism. Unfortunately, the WH can’t use the Chicago solution as there already too many bodies at the bottom of the Potomac River.
Well, that clears it up a bunch.
Obama is in on the AGW Ponzi Scam too, eh ?
Now, any rules for using the double “too” ?

“UAH Global Temperature for October, down significantly’
“The global-average lower tropospheric temperature anomaly in October 2009 fell from +0.42 deg. C in September to +0.28 deg. C in October. The tropical and Northern Hemisphere were responsible for this cooling.”

I particularly like his description of the woman who doesn’t want anyone to have a security light on at night because then we will all drown from AGW as being from the ‘Monster Raving Green Party’.

“Looks like the climbdown has begun.”
Gotta save face. There’s gotta be an “out” out of this one.
[AG]: “I honestly didn’t know CO2 was plant food and nobody told me about clouds before! Serially! What do I look like, a sciencey-type guy or something?”
LOL, Kate @ 9:52 AM.
Writing “it’s” for “its” is not really a grammatical error at all.*
It’s (ha ha!) simply a spelling mistake.
* Unless you can prove that Kate somehow actually did mean “it’s” (i.e., “it is”) rather than “its”.
Thanks blanks. Now I have 3 songs gouging an endless loop in my brain. Please…make its top.
