Watch Obama’s Top Science Advisor Repeatedly Shut Down Climate Deniers At House Climate Hearing


Think Progress has the article Watch Obama’s Top Science Advisor Repeatedly Shut Down Climate Deniers At House Climate Hearing.

There are three videos in the article. I’ll include the first one here.


The Congressional climate change denier did not understand how his argument was cut off at its knees, but I do understand it. Whereas the congressman will go on repeating that nobody can answer his question, I will remember the answer quite clearly.

This segment did not include the explanation that ice melting in a glass of water does not raise the water level in the glass, but ice dropped into the glass from outside the glass raises the water level quite dramatically. Apparently, this congressman has no idea that the Antarctic ice sheet, the Greenland ice sheet, Alaskan ice, Siberian ice and all of our mountain glaciers are not yet sitting in the oceans. Once they melt it will be like dropping them into the ocean.

What are these ignorant people doing judging science in the halls of Congress?


After posting this, I ran across a posting on Jacquelyn Wells’ Facebook page. This link points to the Politicus USA article Jon Stewart Obliterates Republicans By Highlighting Their Ignorance On Climate Change.

Here is a snapshot of the Stewart scientific experiment.


Here is the video of the segment. The scientific experiment is only a small part of this great segment.
