Another billboard about bogus climate claims

People send me stuff.

I’m sure readers remember the billboard put out by Heartland that didn’t go over at all well with many.  Here’s another asking “Who do you believe”?

It’s a tough question for the pro AGW side, and an easy answer for everyone else. You can choose your answer in the poll.

In the context of the billboard there’s not contest – the guy on the right who’s on the left (as opposed to the guy on the left who seems to be on drugs)

Neither guys knows what he’s talking about. Neither, therefore, deserves belief.
Those who understand climate science, so-called, know that there’s no evidence that the extra CO2 has done anything (except green up the plant-world). So, even though Mr. Obama is correct, it’s by accident only. We credit him on that by way of our prior knowledge, not by belief in his insight.

As politicians go, you have to read between the lines. They both are pathological/career lier anyway.

Obama also says we’re deniers, only not in so many words. You can’t base an opinion of these two based on a single quote from each, so I chose neither.

I hate it when a serial liar says something thats true.
But a damn fine billboard as it pits the true believers against themselves, Al Gore the gift that keeps on giving.

My point being, although Obama is correct, I do not believe him.

That’s pretty impressive. By a margin of 2:1 people believe Barack Obama is a liar – and he’s STILL 56 times more believable than Al Gore! (As of 1318EST 9 February 2013).

Someone voted for Al Gore???
Must be a low IQ voter.

How, on earth, does one answer this question? I mean, c’mon. It’s torture to even contemplate an answer to this question. It’s a little like asking someone, “What would you rather drive, an Edsel down the autobahn, or a Lamborghini down a Chicago expressway during rush hour?” Try answering that.

Al Gore
“Hurricane Sany is a disturbing sign of things to come”

Obviously not disturbing enough, so much so that Gore pocket $100 million of dirty, big oil money within the last 2 months? Even Gore doesn’t believe his own nonsense anymore.

In the Netherlands, politicians are the most experienced lyers in the country; how are they in the USA?

Quote correction:
“Hurricane Sandy is a disturbing sign of things to come”

Neither. One was uttered in the recite-the-meme-mindset of Al Gore, The other during a re-election campaign. Given the about face, it’s lies, lies, lies, despite the factual truth of Obummer’s utterance.

Neither one, both in general.

I’m not sure if this is possible, but if it is, you might want to edit in “both” as an option. Obama’s perfectly right, no one event can be entirely attributed to global warming–but Gore is also correct, as on a warmer planet severe storms like Hurricane Sandy would be expected to occur more often. The two options are presented as mutually exclusive, but they really aren’t. If Gore had outright said “Hurricane Sandy was caused by global warming,” Yes, there would be a contradiction (and Gore would have been wrong)–but all he said was that more storms like Sandy should be expected in the future.

I believe that President Obama does not believe what he said; therefore, I do not believe either one. Looks like others agree.

February 9, 2013 10:39 am

If Obama had admitted that Sandy was in some measure caused by AGW, he would have implicated himself and his own failure to combat so-called “climate change” during this first term. So he lied to keep the alarmist eco-loons at bay. Now, of course, he’s leading the charge, via regulatory fiat, to shut down coal-fired plants across the country ostensibly to stave off an impending CO2-induced global meltdown, a grand fantasy perpetuated by his politically attuned servants at NOAA NCDC and NASA GISS.
By now, it should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense that His Majesty Obama is a pathological liar.

As a confirmed skeptic, I don’t “believe” either one.
Available data confirms they both are “worst evarr” liars.

Just goes to show that President Obama is not a push over and he doesn’t think the American citizens are a push over either! I wonder what kind of donation Cfact.org had to make to get the billboard put up; any estimates out there? Where exactly was the billboard installed? That would make a big difference in my guesstimate of the “donation”. Was the photo an off the record “drone” photo?

Obama would say anything to get votes. Now that he won the election, he’s going to “evolve” and say that it’s our fault for global warming.
———-
I don’t like Obama’s politics either but look at the date he said it. It’s on the billboard.
