Senator Barbara Boxer's Own Experts Contradict Obama On Global Warming

Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser less than a month before directing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to impose costly new restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions, Obama said, “we also know that the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or 10 years ago.”

“I don’t have much patience for people who deny climate change,” Obama added.

However, climate scientists including United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lead author Hans von Storch report temperatures have remained essentially flat for the past 10 years, and indeed for the past 15 years.  Storch told Der Spiegel that 98 percent of IPCC climate models cannot replicate the prolonged pause in global warming, and IPCC may need to revise its computer models to correct their apparent warming bias.

During yesterday’s Environment and Public Works hearings, Sen. David Vitter asked a panel of experts, including experts selected by Boxer, “Can any witnesses say they agree with Obama’s statement that warming has accelerated during the past 10 years?”

For several seconds, nobody said a word. Sitting just a few rows behind the expert witnesses, I thought I might have heard a few crickets chirping, but I couldn’t tell for sure. We’ll give Obama the benefit of the doubt and count the crickets in the “maybe” camp.

After several seconds of deafening silence, global warming activist Heidi Cullen, who formerly served as a meteorologist for the Weather Channel, attempted to change the subject. Cullen said our focus should be on longer time periods rather than the 10-year period mentioned by Obama. When pressed, however, she contradicted Obama’s central assertion and said warming has slowed, not accelerated.

They are wrong actually, it is getting warmer, each month for the last ten years has been above average.

The evidence is overwhelming, would you like it?

No. Dont care.

I'm interested to hear why they all stopped calling it global warming and started using "climate change".  Don't tell me, I already know.  Nothing in Washington happens by accident.  Furthermore, is the climate not supposed to change?  There is evidence that it changed quite a bit before human beings existed.

In my eyes the debate shouldn't be about if the planet is getting warmer or not.  The issues should be, first, what hard evidence do we have that humans are causing it.  Second, what hard evidence do they have that all of their punitive "solutions" are going to have any significant, measurable difference.  Especially when you consider that other powerful industrialized countries like China don't give a fuck.  They pollute the earth and laugh while we slit our own throats and give then an enormous economic advantage.

The Midwestern United States use to be a tropical region. 

Please, show us the proof that mankind is responsible for climate change.  We certainly weren't responsible the first thousand times the Earth froze and thawed?

Funny how politicians backed up by mainstream science were warning about the coming ice age before this.
