We all know that the bogus “97% consensus” number has been the staple bullet point of non-thinking climate activists everywhere. Now, I’m sure they will be thrilled to see that we have proof (with video) of a 100 percent consensus on climate.
In the video below, about 1 minute and 20 seconds in, Senator Jeff Sessions asks the $64,000 question of Democrat-invited EPA wonks during the Senate EPW hearing on Wednesday. He said:
The President on November 14th 2012 said, ‘The temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted, even ten years ago.’ And then on May 29th last year he also said – quote – ‘We also know that the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or ten years ago.’ close quote
So I would ask each of our former Administrators if any of you agree that that’s an accurate statement on the climate. So if you do, raise your hand.
Watch the response:
Senator Sessions then said: “Thank you. The record will reflect no one raised their hand.”.
Wow. That’s a 100 percent consensus that the President’s words were not an “accurate statement”.
What a great vote of confidence on display.
Realize that “The OBAMA” is just a figure head of the Democratic Party. “The REID” is no different. Climate Change is the Democratic Party’s mantra. Is that party still the “party of the people?”
Perhaps more than any other president in my lifetime, Obama lives in a bubble of isolation. He has no one telling him he’s wrong, no one honestly discussing contrary beliefs or bring up those pesky facts which directly contradict his beliefs.
The man also cut his teeth as part of the Chicago political machine. The truth is the truth is because you say it’s the truth, and what the facts are depends upon who controls the message. The “big lie” is just part of the Chicago way.
The important thing is how Sessions phrased his question…”Is that an accurate statement on the climate?” None of the EPA officials agreed that it was. So now ANYONE who uses that statement/argument is either wrong according to the EPA, or the EPA is wrong. Win-win.
“Make the lie big, make it simply, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it.”
……Adolf Hitler
Is the GLARING spelling error in the headline part of the joke? (If so, I’m not getting it.) It’s achieved not ‘acheived’!!!!!
The official consensus for the last 32 years from science has been one of 95% certainty that it could be not will be a climate crisis after all
The president is lying through his teeth/woefully uninformed/inexcusably passing on falsehoods but what matters is how you spell “achieved”!
The funniest part is that the results from this survey is more scientific than the 97% garbage.
The only statements of the Prez that are reliable are his (domestic) threats.
The misspelling of a word only matters if that word is thereby transformed into some other word which causes the reader to miss the author’s intended point. Please apply your efforts instead to promoting clarity of dialogue by noting misuse or conflation of words such as, but not limited to, “average”, “normal” and “typical”.

The Democrat senators all sound like they have Mussolini as their public speaking coach.
However, it should be noted there was also 100% consensus among ex-EPA administrators favoring regulation of CO2 emissions.
Our President is in the habit of saying things that sound good to him at the time but that turn out to be just bs. For example, the President said that the White House dog would be a mutt, “like me”, from a shelter yet the dog they got was a purebred that has never set foot in a shelter. The President is suppose to be the most powerful man in the free world yet he could not keep his word on something as trivial as the White House dog. The President gets his climate information from his advisor’s who are chosen based on their ideology and not their abilities. The reality is that global temperatures have been significantly lower than what the IPCC models have predicted and the IPCC doed not really know why. They have been guessing.
When Obama said ‘recent warming was unprecedented’ he may have been misinformed. The second time he was lying.
“It’s great to soar like an eagle, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.”
Too embarrassing for Youtube ? Video seems to have been deleted.
This is nothing but the great fleecing of the common citizens of America and it is good some senators are not falling for it, have some morals and a dose of commonsense.
Mark Stovall: “The myth that most warming activists or alarmists live by is that there are about 6 Billion too many humans on the planet (out of the 7.2 Billion) and we need to get rid of them.”
Absent a replacement for the subsidy of petroleum and coal, they will either be gotten rid of or just die of starvation, and the highest rate of attrition will be in the most developed nations. Transportation is the elephant in the room — no tractors on farms, no trucks or railroad. Every major city in the United States will become a ghost town. The French Revolution also showed that self-sufficient farmers will not be spared, they will be raided, the goose that lays golden eggs sacrificed for immediate needs. North Dakota seems increasingly attractive.
Where a difference can be found (warmist versus cautious) is one’s faith in a substitute such as solar power. IF solar power is rolled out on a large scale the impact of losing petroleum is not a disaster and petroleum preserved for airplanes and ships (and biofuels and/or hydrogen for same). Solar power is enormous. Distributing it not yet possible on a large scale and that’s where “unobtainium” in Avatar comes into the picture — said to be a room temperature superconductor. That would be a huge discovery.
Lucky are places such as Norway that have sufficient hydroelectric to operate public transportation and a sea to separate them from migrating hordes.
Michael says:
Solar is no answer, but time will tell if it can ever be made to be of much use other than heating swimming pools in hot climates.
We have been told we are running out of oil my entire lifetime. (and I am old) And yet we still have centuries of oil and gas reserves; and then there is also nuclear power. I favor massive use of thorium reactors myself, but we will have plenty of fuel as long as the government stays out of the way.
Ever read about the alarmism over the limits of whale oil once upon a time?

Perfect. Thanks for the gut-chuckle. It happened again upon re-reading it. Well Played!

“Perhaps more than any other president in my lifetime, Obama lives in a bubble of isolation. He has no one telling him he’s wrong, no one honestly discussing contrary beliefs or bring up those pesky facts which directly contradict his beliefs.”
This may arise from a form of modern subtle racism. I believe I observed something similar in Africa a few years after independence in the early 1960s. I was with the Geological Survey of Nigeria and the ministry offered field jobs to indigenous new geology graduates. I was assigned one to assist in the evaluation of a mineral deposit and quickly learned that these young people were being turned out without even the basic knowledge of simple surveying, mineralogy and structural geology. Their professors were European who clearly didn’t want to upset anyone by giving a bad grade or making students think and solve problems. The quality of their teaching was abominable. It was a time of 40 something virgin missionary ladies with sensible skirts and white ankle socks – misfits in their own countries- teaching grade school children to be barely literate, although they gave them a heavy dose of the gospel.
My grad assistant learned more from me in a few months than he had in 4 years of college. He complained a lot to start with and threatened to “report” me, but I used mornings to teach him geology, mineralogy and surveying and the afternoons practicing what he had learned on the project. I also sent a letter to the head of the geology department that the quality of their teaching was totally unacceptable if they were hoping to turn out self-starters.
Mods, typo in the headline. It should be “achieved”
[Fixed, thank you. .mod]
Misspelling of words, like gross errors of grammar, create the impression that the writer is either ignorant or careless, as well as being a discourtesy to the reader. Writers who wish to be taken seriously, and those who wish to be courteous to their readers, try to avoid such solecisms.
[You are invited to specifically identify what you believe should be corrected. No ID, no fixee. .mod]
‘i’ before ‘e’ oh come on! Petty and unnecessary. I wouldn’t have noticed it actually. Obama has nothing to lose he won’t be standing for election again, and might be searching for a job with the UN? Like our Kevin Rudd was rumoured to have done. Oh sorry, we Brits type rumour with a ‘u’ before you take offense.
RoHa I cannot type well spell well, or proof read if my life depended on it, the education system failed me because they failed to understand the phonetics is not is my base wiring or there subtleties of language I cannot hear, I had to teach myself to read so when I read, I read thoughts, not words, to you misspell something badly and misconstruct the sentence confuses you. I will read it back to you in the correct format using the proper pronunciation as well as I can hear it. Peoples misspelling and misuse of words mean nothing to me it how they think that counts and the though they are try to put down on paper. You in you little world, you think a superior because have a good grasp of language, I can tell you if something is broke I can fix it werther it a bicycle or a million dollar computer. I have master computer operating system from PC to mainframes I have installed and gotten operating operating system from Dos 1.1 to Unisys A series and IBM I series, Presently I am a network engineer, I configure and implement them from ordering the communications to install and configuring the router switches and firewalls. Yet I cannot spell correctly, sound out a word, or tell you if a sentence is structured correctly, I am married to an English major and I can easy beat her in scrabble. So when you so willing criticise people on their English skill remember some of us are wired very differently and when is comes to other skill set we will leave you in the dust. Oh by the way another skill I have is I can traverse wilderness and not get lost, are you up for a hike in the Northern forest or the Arizona desert? I only use a GPS to tell me how far I walk had during the day that evening. Let see if you superior English skills help you when you a mile off a road and it gets dark. On last thing I can read what on this URL http://www.funny-potato.com/read-this.html I can, can you?
Senator Jeff Sessions and the Senate seem to know the bottom line: accurate content weighs more than political prose.

“As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could soar.”
——————–
Turkey buzzards can soar, …. as good or even better than an eagle. They can “ride” those thermals for hours n’ hours. And “sniffing” the air for rotting carcasses on the ground.
But not a turkey-turkey. They are “runners” on the ground and good at quick. short flights. They will run upgrade to a higher elevation and then “glide” back down to a lower elevation. Will fly up to a tree branch for roosting and then glide back down to the ground.
================
And ps, …. it is an act of silliness for anyone to be claiming that all of Lois Lerner’s relevant emails
were destroyed when her PC’s hard drive “crashed n’ burned”.
Why you could bet your last dollar that the NSA has several “copies” of every one of them somewhere in/on their humongus “wire-tapping” data base storage.
To wit:
“The Washington Post and the Guardian reported earlier Thursday the existence of the previously undisclosed program, which was described as providing the NSA and FBI direct access to server systems operated by tech companies that include Google Inc., GOOG +0.26%Apple Inc., AAPL -1.03%Facebook Inc., FB +0.25%Yahoo Inc., YHOO -1.82%Microsoft Corp. MSFT +0.41% and Skype. The newspapers, citing what they said was an internal NSA document, said the agencies received the contents of emails, file transfers and live chats of the companies’ customers as part of their surveillance activities of foreigners whose activity online is routed routed through the U.S. The companies mentioned denied knowledge or participation in the program.
