#1 Thus this has now all evolved into a classic case of The Big Lie and propaganda operation that the average American not following things closely can now hardly believe that such a whopper could be told and that no one would be exposing it. That is the whole basis of The Big Lie. And Obama is the beneficiary of it all and is a walking, talking product of The Big Lie technique. The lie is now so big that no one wants to believe it all could be a lie. The propaganda technique is working for now. The truth will come out some day. It always does.

#2 Since when did the dhimocrats let facts get in the way of a great narrative?

#3 Did he wet his pants laughing or was he able to keep a straight face discussing the mental gymnastics and amazing feats of irrational thought in the climate assessment.

#4 Bill Clinton famously said, "I did not have sex with that woman".
Whether or not you believe that was a lie, apparently depends on your own interpretation of what constitutes a sexual act.
President Obama is attempting to get away with the same malicious tactic. What he previously called his "Global Warming" policy, he now insists is "Climate Change".
Climate change is not global warming and global warming is not climate change. They are not the same thing.
Climate change is the result of the movement of planets and other forces in our solar system that alter the climate on Earth.
Global warming is the result of changes that exist only in Earth's atmosphere.
The actual causes of climate change has been "settled science" since long before man first set foot on the moon.
Global warming of earth's atmosphere, and it's causes and effects, today are at best anybody's guess. CO2 levels in the atmosphere have zero effect on the forces in out solar system that have driven climate change on Earth for more than a billion years.
It was when the global warming models of the IPCC were proven to be junk science that Obama dropped the "Global Warming" designation and began calling his policy "Climate Change", in a fraudulent attempt to give his failed agenda "settled science" credibility.
If you believe Obama's global warming gibberish is settled science, or just about anything else Obama says is the truth, chances are good you are one of those people who also believe Bill Clinton "did not have sex with that woman".

#6 Back when I first looked into anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) climate change the argument was that increasing CO2 (a trace gas) from burning hydrocarbons would heat the earth slightly. This slight increase would force more water vapor into the atmosphere. Water vapor is the real greenhouse gas. More water vapor means more heat trapped by the atmosphere. The cycle feeds back on itself, runs away and you get the apocalypse sans the rapture.

Peak temperatures in the last interglacial were on average 6 degrees warmer than now. If it didn't run away then, why would it now?

The climate models ignore all kinds of feedback that would counter such a raise in temperature, cloud cover being just one.

Finally, there hasn't been any global warming in the last 15+ years.
