Friday Funny – two guys with a ruler blow up the White House global warming video claims

Remember White House science advisor John Holdren’s wackadoodle video about the Polar Vortex? The opening line of the video spoken by Dr. Holdren says

” If you’ve been hearing that extreme cold spells, like the one we’re having in the United States now disproves global warming…don’t believe it.”

He then goes on to present evidence, like this plot of mid-tropospheric temperature, which looks like it is from UAH/Dr. Roy Spencer, though no citation is given in the video.

The funny part? Watch these two guys blow the glossy WH take on this visual out of the water with just a ruler and some common sense. 

For more information on the UAH temperature record, see our most recent update here: Global Temperature Report: January 2014 Upper Michigan was ‘coldest’ spot on the globe in January

Then there’s the other satellite record, from RSS: Satellites show no global warming for 17 years 5 months

NotTheAussiePhilM,
Very entertaining! Perhaps donning ruby red slippers and clicking your heels together while reciting the incantation will be more effective than the incantation alone.

” Violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate.”
Except when the violent acts take place by the hands of the Abortionist – am I right, Ed?
Do you have to read and remember you Logic-free ideologue scripts, or are they uploaded directly into your cranial void?

timetochooseagain says: “it appears they are using a dataset deliberately chosen for it’s extreme, almost certainly erroneous trends.”
Only a congenital Dolt would think otherwise, and with great effort.

I quit the teaching program (and just got a BS in chemistry)All I needed was the student teaching I was supposed to take the next semester.
You got me beat, Gail. I have a graduate degree in Occupy Wall Street from an Ivy league university. (But I got better. I proved a bit of a disappointment even at the time.)
