While not as bad as the horrid 10:10 video exploding children, I have to wonder this about the actual scientists that participated in this farce: what were you thinking ?
Of course, it does seem some circles in climate science are all about bling, and cheerleaders, and labeling people with ugly insulting profanity these days. So maybe, this is simply “state of the art”. The phrase “Real Climate Scientists” is used…hmm.
Watch this video from Australia (warning – profanities)
The lyrics are available here at the website where they made the video.

My God. I wish I could poke my ears out.
Climate Science thinks its primary problem is communication.
This is an attempt to communicate to people that climate scientists clearly have no idea how to communicate to.
The thing they consistently fail to realize is that the most effective form of communication a scientist can use is a scientific one. Lay all of the facts out in plain site and go into so much detail that everyone falls asleep and your point will be perfectly communicated.
A scientist attempting to communicate in any other fashion is at best suspicious and ineffective.
Mah buddy Big Al Gore is soundin’ the alarm.
Those stupid warming deniers doin’ all sorts of harm!
I saw a PowerPoint chart with a whole lotta red,
So I emptied my wallet, and got Carbon Cred.
My sounds are solid, and my science is sound.
If we don’t do nothin’, polar bears get drowned!
So my homies roll phat, with the Dubs on their Prius,
But in the long-run? Naw, I don’t got no idea-uhs.
God! I watched about half of it. What are these ‘people’ on? If this is ‘a Cimate Science Message’ it is the best advertisement for scepticism yet.

” Global Warming is just a theory.”
“So is Gravity… (snip) ”
If they don’t know the difference between a Theory and a Law in science, they are no scientists.
I agree with the final comments in the video. They are climate f-ing scientists, and they are f-ing the climate. But that doesn’t mean they are doing “real” science. A real scientist would not use everything BUT the scientific method to gain popular acceptance and try to get the world to “believe” in their Gaia cult.
Well my friends, I had to stop when the girls started to wail.
My first impression was, of course, why are they all wearing sun-glasses, or ‘shades’.
The message must be… it’s getting warmer, and therefore brighter – good old Sun.
I was born well before the first ‘climate change’ prediction – that of much colder weather to come after the 70’s. It never happened, except for a few unfortunate folk, off and on.
It seems to me to be repeating everything that I have seen and heard, in that there will be climatic variation, which is fairly obvious, but one thing is troubling me… from where does that change, so-called AGW derive?
I was kinda disappointed that none of them were called “Dr. Huxtable” :p
File under: Trying way too hard to impress kids
I made it a minute and I listen to Eminem. Kids might make it to .25 before moving on with a snort of derision. Antiviral video at its worst.
One thing I wonder; were the (substantial) production costs paid for out of grant money? These things are not cheap.
WOW! I was doubting AGW a bit, but now I mysteriously find myself buying it…
You know what? This masterfully created video has finally convinced me that global warming is real and it’s out fault and it’s worse than we thought! YO.

Nearly as impressive as the “Warm Beer Chart” PR effort at Real Climate:

What’s next? Hostages?
I wondered how they were going to redefine the message……
..too bad rap is like so yesterday
Perhaps Vuk & Tallbloke should make a similar video for Dr S to review.
I’m not a climate scientist either. Unfortunately, I have to work for a living.
lol, Yes, make a poorly crafted video, add barely cohesive expressions, sprinkle vulgarity, and appeal to your own authority in an attempt to buttress their credibility.
Yes, that should work.
“Feedback is like climate change on crack “.
I notice that they omit numbers, much like the MSM, so maybe we can call their AGW summary “a fine piece of journalism”.

Vuk and Talbloke are not professional climate or solar scientists, as the people who did the video, they do their ‘pseudoscience’ for kiks. It is lot of fun, but don’t discard all other amateurs, very often they come with small nuggets that help science move forward. Neither Vuk or Tallbloke take a cent from taxpayer for their efforts, however often and much ridiculed by esteemed doc S.
As for Vuk, he is an ex electronic engineer, currently enjoying fruits of years of hard work, and ‘pseudoscience’ is one of the hobbies, and isn’t concerned an iota if someone likes it or not.
Crack is so 80s.

Hey, is it this year’s Australian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest? Crap enough to win it.
The League of Women Voters has decided to go over the edge a bit too: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/29/new-attack-ads-aimed-at-brown-mccaskill/ Some apolitical organization they have become.
Loved the ‘Hayek Vs Keynes video, far better than the ‘climate science’ effort ripoff.
You have a slow flat tyre, what do you do?
The keynes method is to ignore the puncture and inflate the tyre and keep inflating it.
The Hayek method is to deflate the tyre, take the wheel off and fix the puncture and only then inflate the tyre again, more difficult and takes longer but in the long term it is the only way to fix the problem.

Meanwhile back at the ranch. Those young ‘climate scientists’ have careers and grants and tenure to think about, homes and mortgages and bills and all that comes with choosing a career, no climate Armageddon no jobs no career no tenure no car no holidays no jet ski. A sudden massive inflation in ‘climate science’ careers in recent years and the simple fact that turkeys do not vote for thanksgiving. A great many people have a great deal invested in perpetuating the man made climate Armageddon, too much to lose.
Lets suppose that the CAGW theory came crashing down tomorrow, new information comes to light that finally puts the CAGW theory six feet under, dead and buried. Just what would happen to the tens of thousands of people employed in ‘climate science’? Grant cash drying up, departments closing and staff laid off, like an army after a big war, it would be downsize city Arizona for lots and lots of young ‘climate scientists’ with worthless qualifications nobody requires anymore. The people in that video know it, they know it all too well. Their careers on the line and what else is out there for them? The lucky few might try teaching or some other line but for most it will be back into the employment line.
The boom and the bust, for a whole generation of ‘climate scientists’ who jumped aboard the gravy train when it seemed the planet was in mortal danger and they were the last best hope yadda yadda yadda, bright eyed and looking at regular wages doing what they thought was a valuable job. Like the Tommies who went over the top at the Somme, they were cheered and celebrated at the time and forgotten and left to rot straight after. Todays heroes, tomorrows cast offs.
A great many people have too much to lose, they have too much invested in CAGW and only when they start appearing in the employment lines looking for the jobs that the CAGW fraud has destroyed by the millions will they have some kind of proper perspective forced upon them. While the gravy train is running they will be OK, when not if but when the train they are clinging on to hits the buffers then a lot of those very same people on that video will be forced to look upon the reality their CAGW fraud has inflicted on the millions who will be standing in those same employment lines, an icy cold shower of cold hard reality coming their way. Unemployment is an absolute and utter bitch, you dont know what a bitch until you yourself happens to be in that line. The young people in that video are part of the cause for the unemployment we are seeing, they laugh and giggle now because they are young and they have jobs but one day, one cold winter day will come when they stand in that line and feel what millions of others have felt then their enthusiasm will wilt and die very quickly indeed.
