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.

Climate Rap or C-rap for short.
Sadly a reflection of the rapid deterioration of Australian education.
Because the scientists are diversifying and getting into the rap music industry?
“THE Greens have quietly shelved their long-held greenhouse gas cuts target of up to 40 per cent by 2020, meaning no party in Parliament is actively pushing for emissions cuts at levels recommended by climate-change scientists.”

Or could it be Canberra, Australia’s capital city and home to the Federal Govn’t, recently suffered through it’s coldest night in 74 years?
That’s hysterical-in both meanings of the word.
If they had only rapped about killing cops they could have made it to the White House.
The only thing anyone can possibly say about this is: OMG, WTF?

…. My opinion has been our climate is driven by plate tectonics more than anything else, at least in the Pacific basin.
I think you are dead right. Too much energy transfer in too little time is involved to be coming from the outside.
This must be from within the earth system.
Firstly, I am assuming these are real students/scientists? In which case, I dispair at their lack of actual ‘real’ world knowledge. Any of us who were students will no doubt remember that we were somewhat opinionated and believed we were ‘right’, especially in the early years of a career ?
Hence, whilst I am not one to wish that student activity remains as a blight on someones record – I feel quite strongly that such a production should be carefully preserved for posterity – it may serve as a suitable lesson for others in the future. Even moreso, if as expected, the whole AGW issue is proven to be the sham we all expect! Perhaps in another 5 or 10 years time, we can expect an apologetic rap from these same folks?
perhaps along the lines of…..
Hey now world, Why don’t ya listen up!
We’ve now drunk from the knowledge cup
As students – remember, we made a rap
But now it’s proved it was all crap.
Glo-bal warming, we know its bull
but we sucked it up ’til we were full
too much theory, and not enough practical
now-a-days, we’ve become all skeptical
Extremely substandard “art” used to explain extremely substandard “science.”
Looks like a marriage made in Heaven [um…rather…in Hades] to me.
They think they are being so cutting edge, when in reality, it is one of the stupidest videos I have ever laid eyes on.
Produced well….but the content is embarrassingly bad.
Let them continue to talk out of their arses like this, I say.
The more they do it, the more idiotic they become.

“Rap music” is an oxymoron.
They may very well have shot themselves in the foot. As the original article points out, at least some of them can be verified as genuine academics.
Terribly juvenile. They make Trenberth look like The Wisdom Of Solomon.
the program ‘hungry beast’ is a tax-payer funded mouthpiece for Student leftwing nutters. Crazy!!!
one word there all wankers
They declare themselves to be climate f*cking scientists. Climate being a euphemism for stoopid…
[Snip. No derogatory use of the D-word allowed. ~dbs, mod.]
I know I am a guest and you have certain rights to censor an individual.
But by the neck of a goose you guys are sure hypocritical when caught in the act by the words of defamatory talk here.
You would NEVER EVER get away with this in Australia or Canada or Britain for that matter. Bring it on and let the real scientists settle the score by dragging all of them to court – but sadly not in your country – land of free wanton speech and so much crock whilst the great warming continues.
Sadly our fellow Australian merchant of the media in your country does not play fair at all.
Continue your great fiddle and wiggle with the data.
I see an international court case a coming. Perhaps we will finally get justice for the rest of world.
Wow, it’s great that these folks have the time for this sort of thing.
How many of them, do you suppose, are working for the government, or are funded by government largesse? So for the expenditure of taxpayer dollars, instead of empirical evidence validating their theory (the sort of empirical evidence we get for the “theory of gravity” every time we stand up, sit down, or drop a pint glass), this is what they offer to support the moribund AGW thesis?
Okay, well, thanks for the clarification I guess.
Australians should enjoy this. Chances are they paid for it.
I just went to post a comment on how idiotic it is, but the page with the lyrics is gone…

“If the rap video is too hip or crude for you, here is a pretty staid and conservative perspective with similar conclusions: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_academies/acdscien/”
The conclusions are not unexpected when you have advocate IPCC scientists such as Crutzen, Molina, (advisor to WWF Mexico), and Ramanathan on the panel. The panel haven’t done any research, they are simply repeating the IPCC gospel.
If that is what they have to stoop to to get a grant then they should change the day job.
Pithily put.
But when you’re reposting it here and there, I suggest the grammatical “they’re all wankers” instead.
;p
Come on, it wasn’t that bad! But maybe a riposte could be:
Where has all the warming gone?
Long time passing
Where has all the warming gone?
Long time ago
Where has all the warming gone?
Graphs have declined every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
How crass can these people get. I listened to it all the way through and couldn’t hear one word of the message they were trying to put across. Neither did they leave any of the copy and captions on the screen long enough for me to read any one of them. It seems to me that the video was produced by people who are just as incompetent as the AGW brigade themsleves. How sad. But I suppose the cost of commissioning such an utterly stupid video came from one or more of the many AGW grants that seem to be so readily available. Another failing of the Australian branch of the AGW cult.
When people have no rational basis for their beliefs, they resort to being offended.
Yikes! This is absurdly terrible, maybe worse than Climategate itself.
So they’re f***ing the climate are they? More like the climate is f***ing them!
They stole the cheerleader scene from the movie Bring It On. Naturally, they had to change the song lyrics to: “I said Burn! it’s HOT in here, 32% more carbon in the atmosphere.” In the original song from the film, the lyrics went: “I said Brrr! it’s COLD in here, there must be some Clovers in the atmosphere…” (Clovers being the school mascot of the fictional high school in the film). Go figure.
