I’ve previously highlighted the accordion talents of RealClimate co-founder Dr. Ray Pierrehumbert. Now he’s formed a band with two guys named Abbot and Archer, singing the CO2 blues in a music video.
How appropriate though, given the politics employed by Ray and The Team, that they say “We are climate scientists, Chicago style”.
Mike Mann apparently wasn’t invited to the jam as the only musical instrument he can play is the percussive hockey stick. Watch the video below:
And they say skeptics are the crazy ones.

UPDATE: It is worth recalling what Dr. Ray Pierrehumbert recently wrote of skeptics:
McIntyre, McKittrick, and Watts are the Andrew Breitbarts of climate. Occasionally they may out something that is technically true, but it is always of minor consequence compared to the noise, and always a distraction from the truly important questions facing society. That’s why, big as the IPCC tent may be, I hope there will never be a place in it for any of these clowns.
Please, someone get this man a mirror.

My first thought on Abbot and Archer was Abbot and Costello.
Still my favorite video is
not even musically interesting…and as for the lyrics, my dog can converse better…….
The music is horrible. They better cling to their gubment jobs.
That was just sad. They should get with the Minnesotans for Global Warming group.

A song for those whose research resembles that done by the person praised in this song:
Thanks guys – Next!
I’d like to hear their version of The Hockey Stick Blues…

There’s 3 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. These guys should stick to their day jobs. (What ever it is they do…)
Their musical skills are highly correlated with their climate science skills.
OMG that’s out-and-out painful.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference……………………..
It’s far worse than we thought. Send for the men in white coats.
Bring on the Blues!

If they don’t care about how embarassingly bad their music is (including demonstrating that in spades to the whole world across the internet), what makes one think they care about how bad their climate science is.
They should apologize to Ray Charles, and The Grateful Dead. The Denier video on the other hand may have a future.
get a grip…that was great..lighten up
While I can easily forget the display of disasters in the background of this video I may never be able to erase the epic display of disaster that I just witnessed in the foreground. I should have been warned that this video had the potential to cause irreversible damage to people with an ear for music. If you want to disband OWS idiots or extract intel out of terrorists, this video played repeatedly at high decibel levels would get the job done. 😉
soo sorry…I was commenting on the “I’am a denier” video..
Ouch. I’ve reported him to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Accordions).
They should also appologise to the great Muddy Waters for their dumb reference to him. A disgrace.
They should have modeled it first!
These guys are terrible musicians, but they are better at music than they are as climate scientists.
Therefore, contrary to everyone else, I recommend they quit their day jobs (as scientists) and become full time musicians. They can lie all they want as musicians and will do much less harm. GK
Ok…..help me out here. When has the clmate been static and not changeing?
What is so alarming to these poor fellows that the clmate changes? It is almost as if they are denying climate change by asserting this is something new?
Looking at paleo data……..it seems the climate changed and quite a good thing that it has. Otherwise, there would still be a glacier covering most of North America.
And they claim they need a Phd to understand this? Or lack of understanding concerning this?
