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.

“Whatever professional disagreements there are, they have a point that they are actual scientists and went to school for a long time to study climate. The whole climate change/AGW/whatever it is today debate has been hijacked by non-scientists of all stripes. ”
Okay, so i’m a non-scientist hijacker; and can the actual climate scientists now show their observational evidence for the tropospheric hotspot so we can finally settle the argument if they’re so darn sure they’re right.
Oh, they can’t? Sorry, didn’t want to cause any inconvenience…
Perhaps most of them wore sunglasses so they could conceal their true identities…
They claim to be climate scientists, but if they are, then they are mis-using the term scientist. They sure are ignorant about what science is. I would say that is a good showing from the Al Gore warmist camp – showing ignorance over intelligence.
I am not a climate scientist, but I am a scientist. And they are no scientists.
Absolutely – speaks volumes for their confidence and commitment to the cause. As if they know already that someday soon this video will be a laughing stock.
” Global Warming is just a theory.”
“So is Gravity… ”
Zero out of two: As several have already observed, Gravity is a law.
AGW is just a hypothesis.
So that’s an example of rap. It’ll never replace skiffle.
It’s a bit rich to call these entertainers scientists; as far I can determine, many of them are not much more than over-credentialed data processors, with an inadequate grasp of statistics, collating such silly things as the average height of an entire, continually varying ocean within fractions of a millimetre. An equivalent would be of extracting sunshine from cucumbers at several removes: they could compile averages of the utility of datasets of the potential sunshine/cucubert-extraction units, and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.
I expect to hear any day that nutritionists, instead of trying to improve knowledge or nutrition, are gathering an index of the averages of digestive index units (DIU), in order to tell us whether the mean digestion within various segments of the population is declining as obesity rates increase. (I may say in passing, if I may make a jocatio, that my DIU has been stable for a long while.)
Still, it’s a measure of how wealthy and advanced the modern industrial countries are that, instead of making or inventing or developing things, we have so many young wits receiving copious funds for measuring intangibles and then boasting thereof.
They might as well be rappers, they aren’t real scientists.
So they spent their time doing what in Copenhagen?
A little better ‘gangsta’ video about ‘Bankstas’ – titled:
Damn It Feels Good to be Banker — A Wall Street Musical
Well done, I say, and not too far off topic I hope …
.
Showed this to my teenaged daughter, and after she stopped giggling, she recommended they add this performer to give them some heightened credibility—in the hilarity department:
This seems to be produced by my sons’ university—and just confirms our growing realisations about climate scientists.
Trouble is, in spite of all the challenges to the ‘settled science’—the CRU emails etc—our disaster of a minority Australian Labor government is about to introduce a carbon tax as a prelude to an Emissions Trading Scheme—and the tiny, but drunk with power Greens party, that will hold the balance of power post-July , and with it the ability to fell the government—– is demanding not only that coal-fired power stations be shut down, with nothing to take their place, but that we end the export of coal.
Such is the world of post-normal science and almost every institution , especially the media, completely infiltrated and dominated by the Left.
I think a parody is in order. Perhaps something like this…
We’re real climate scientists and here’s a clue!
Every paper we write passes peer review!
Here’s one from the 90s by our man Mann,
Shows no global warming till Big Oil’s scam!
If you want to survive, then back up the truck.
What’s that? Mann’s screwed up the stats? Awwww F*ck!
Doesn’t really matter, cuz we’ve got a spare,
another peered paper, the stick’s really there!
Obama’s on board and they’re channeling Reagan,
Ha! Next stop’s nirvana through copenhagen,
Shove it deniers, you’re all outa luck!
What’s that? On all those web sites? Awwwww F*ck!
Okay, hiding data might look like a stink,
But even Einstein used disappearing ink,
We’re climate scientists and we’re here to say,
All scholars hide data that don’t go their way.
Find one to dispute us, go ahead rotsa ruck!
What’s that? A druggie from Berkeley? Awwwwww F*ck!
Rap has sunk to a new low with those lyrics, if that’s possible.
To quote a great man:
“Somebody just can’t handle satire.”

Now announcing: The Death Of Rap Music
Alvin,
I predicted that in 1989. My timing was a bit off.
So Prof Roger N. Jones is a Research Fellow at the “Centre for Strategic Economic Studies (not a climate scientist), however not long after this you see him in the video mouthing “I’m a climate scientist”. What stupid liars these morons are. If you’re going to lie, at least make it so that your lie can’t be detected by your own contradictions in the same video!
Also many of the people at the beginning are identified as being from the “Climate Change Research Centre”, so their position, by definition of their very job, must be that of a global warmist. Also, as many have already pointed out, their careers depend on the dogma of AGW being accepted.
Perhaps the appropriate vehicle to respond to rap music is classic ’70s rock. With revised lyrics suitable for young scientists, and sans profanity. I give you “Carbon in the Sky”:

Alas, I can’t sing, or play an instrument, or make a YouTube video. Maybe M4GW can take up the project.
