“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.”
At Commencement, Obama Mocks Lawmakers Who Deny Climate Change – NYTimes.com
What the president is saying is that he is making up statistics about a group of people he doesn’t know much about, and that he understands those people generally keep their mouth shut because they like to keep their funding and job – and avoid McCarthyite attacks like Richard Tol and others have faced.
97% of “scientists” paid to promote global warming says there is global warming. A true consensus!
Positive feedback; latch-up; the dog has finally caught his tail.
97% of priests believe in God.
97% of climate economists paid to analyse CAGW “economics” support more carbon taxes.

This is 97% stupid, from phys.org.
Climate change may prevent contact with alien civilisations.
Like the referee Brazil – Croatia they all want to live another day. Fare rules.

I got a “This video is private” on the link.
I truly wonder if Obama believes his own bullshit, or has some comfy arrangement with Big Green once his term is up.
I’d say like this phony enviornmentalist.
How DiCaprio fights global warming
HOLLYWOOD star Leo DiCaprio has hired billionaire Man City owner Sheikh Mansour’s mega yacht so he and 21 pals can enjoy the World Cup in style. The actor and his friends jetted into Rio de Janeiro yesterday/on Wednesday, a day after the sheikh’s POUNDS 400 million super yacht Topaz docked in the city.

Leftists do not care about truth, they only care about their agenda, and rhetoric that supports it. Skeeter could not care less what the actual science says.
I am still surprised that there are others here that don’t get it with respect to Obama. The progressive agenda is about the destruction of the US economy and the enslavement of the rest of us. The Washington elite see themselves as royalty and the rest of us as their serfs to do with what they will. Read Agenda 21 online, a real U.N. document with a real purpose in mind.
Obama has no intellect. He reads what’s on the teleprompter. He has no need to understand what he’s reading.
Haha, this is great Steven, you just made my day. This asshat has conceded that scientists tow the government line to keep their funding. Something that many of us have known for decades … Priceless!
Obama has nothing left. He has fucked up the US economy, more than doubled the national debt with deficit spending going on forever, ruined the healthcare system and completely botched foreign policy. If his lips are moving he is lying.
He never campaigned on Climate Change but now has latched onto the great scam in a pathetic attempt to create a legacy for his after POTUS life.
Complete dufus who can use a Teleprompter.
Include his ‘prime handler’ Valerie Jarrett and you and I are in agreement; know what Valerie Jarrett is thinking and you will know what Barack Hussein Obama will be doing next …
an evil little creature
Born: November 14, 1956 (age 57), Shiraz, Iran to African American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman.
Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz in 1956, as part of a program where American physicians and agricultural experts sought to help communitize developing countries’ health and farming efforts.
When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, later moving to Chicago in 1963.
In 1966, her mother was one of four child advocates that created the Erikson Institute. The Institute was established to provide collective knowledge in child development for teachers and other professionals working with young children.
As a child, Jarrett spoke Persian and French. … Jarrett graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon in 1974. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University in 1978 and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981.
In 1983 Jarrett married William Robert Jarrett, son of Chicago Sun-Times reporter Vernon Jarrett. She attributes her switch from a private to a public career to their daughter Laura’s birth and her own desire to do something that would make their daughter proud.

Valerie Jarrett: Obama ‘has a terrific track record’

Evil and a Demon from hell!
I have been considering that perhaps Obama just has no idea what he is doing and no real idea of what he is talking about.
Maybe rather than a man of powerful general intellect, with evil intentions, he’s a simple fool – perhaps has some specialized knowledge he gained from studying law combined with a flair for public speaking and showmanship; but otherwise not too bright, in fact an idiot-savant of sorts. Maybe. Think about it. It explains a lot.
My wife, a professional musician and entertainer, is quite impressed with his singing and natural entertainer talent. I recall when he made that first speech at the democratic convention as a junior senator, which I didn’t see but dear wife did; she was absolutely wowed by his performance. She thought he was wonderful. So he can speak and act. Skills.
It could be that he is just being used / controlled by those smarter than him; and with Holdren as a science adviser, a man either horribly evil or downright insane, Obama can’t possibly form an objective, honest, truthful view of the sorry state of atmospheric science. So the leeches (I mean government-paid climate scientists) feed him nonsense to keep the gravy-train rolling, his advisers (neo-Malthusian haters of humanity), charlatans all of them, out for a buck, America be damned, back up the nonsense by providing speeches for Obama to recite; and the idiot-savant, the puppet, plays his part. His little speech was a mechanical exercise in propaganda, lifeless, fact-free, truth-free.

I loved all of Kosinsky’s novels having read them back in the ’70s. It was even made into a movie. Perhaps a strange version on Being There is being acted out now.
Your account about your wife hearing Obama speak reminds of these sayings about the devil:
“… the devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you’ve ever wished for …”

“Listen, child—if you’re at a party with a hundred people and one of them is the devil, he’ll be the last one you’d suspect.”

Ever hear of the Bilderberg guys????
Ahem.
And Bush Jr. belongs, too, like Obama. Both also belong to the Council of Foreign Affairs, another operation you should fear, the creators of the huge mess we are in today. Both Clintons also belong to both organizations, all of which practice secrecy especially the international conspirators running the Bilderberg outfit.
Mind-numbing conspiracy crap; go for it if you want to, since I really can’t think any lower of you than I already do …
These people are not our friends, yet, I know a WWII vet who voted FOR them. The communists were right, they sold us the rope we are (figuratively) hanging ourselves with.

Valerie Jarrett & Van Jones Talks About Transforming Society

From a vid with an Apr 2013 pub date:
Obama’s Wormy Brain Talks out of School: Valerie Jarrett
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj1EhhCbvh0
.
A friend of mine went to law school with Jarrett. Her characterization of Jarrett: an overwhelming sense of entitlement.
The alleged “science” behind today’s climate change scare is almost indistinguishable from medieval witchcraft. The scientists pushing the scare resemble an intolerant religious cult. They are not objective, dispassionate researchers who adhere strictly to the scientific method. Instead, they’ve staked out a position and selectively manipulated data to support their preconceived conclusion, while ignoring or downplaying any facts that contradict or falsify it. That’s not science; it’s advocacy.
If the mainstream media were doing its job, the scientists promoting the AGW scare would have been exposed as frauds long ago. Instead, they continue to act as conduits for their junk science, while demonizing anyone who questions the so-called “consensus,” a majority-rules argument that has no place in true scientific inquiry.
This topic is, of course, precisely what Ike warned about in his farewell speech.
Over the last five years, I have been in contact with, or have contacted,perhaps a few dozen scientists in the field of climate studies, (the few that were willing), some have stated that a few of their colleagues are actually getting worried and are (sort of) hoping for some warming.
As Steve has pointed out, therefore some have doubled down on ever more outlandish claims.

When people talk about Obama’s bubble complex and his surrounding himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear, i’m sure the main culprit is Valerie Jarrett. She just has this true believer sense about her. You can see her constantly pumping up the President blaming everything that goes wrong on people’s hatred for him or whatever. Obama is such a tool you can see him believing her.
These people are completely disconnected from reality.
