How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?

How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ? When now more then ever it is being questioned. Even if you do believe AGW is real, you need to agree that a lot of people don't believe it is.How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?Now if Obammy said that then I know AGW is a lie.How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?
In the scientific community, global warming is (almost) undisputed, what people here get confused with is the role of the greenhouse effect. A lot of scientists are now beginning to believe that other factors, such as the sun are major players. Anyway, Obama is trying to argue a point, a little exaggeration must be allowed. Some may think he is simply trying to con those who don't understand, it wouldn't be difficult if he did, looking at the answers of some on Yahoo Answers!How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?Honesty isn't his first priorty. Remaking America into his image is. Obama has proved to be a crisis monger. He creates crisis for the uneducated and gullible to push a extreme leftist agenda. He has the help of Pelosi and Reid and the down stream media. There is no one in American politics that is further to the left than him. There is no one who associates with more despicable people. If you are an enemy to the US, you are someone Obama wants to deal with. If you are a friend, you are someone Obama wants to sell down the creek. He is addicted to his teleprompter. I don't doubt he is responsible for what is on it but he is a snake oil salesman of the worst kind. It is all about him and what is truly sickening, his sycophantic supporters agree.
He cannot say that it is undisputed. What is undisputed is that the earth has warmed up until 1998 where it essentially peaked and we now have temperatures that are somewhat higher than average in comparison to the last century. He cannot say that the threat of global warming is undisputed because there are many scientists that believe that we are now in a cooling period, therefore there is a threat of global cooling.



Not to mention that the U.S. is the second highest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world and were the highest emitter for the past 50 years before china passed us in 2006. Look now, the year 2009, only North America experienced cooler than average (yes, average, not cooler than average for the past decade, cooler than average for the past 150 years we've been recording it).



Considering how much CO2 we've been emitting in the US and the fact that its been cooler than the historical average for the past yea, I can't give the threat that greenhouse gases pose as having any credibility. We've been pumping out more of this stuff than anyone for the past 50 years and we are the coolest region in the world right now. If he can say the "threat of global warming is undisputed," I can easily say that "the threat of global cooling is undisputed" and have equal or even better credibility.How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?Depends what he's talking about -- the beauty of using the ambiguous phrase "Global Warming" is you don't know if he's talking about AGW or Climate Change or some combination of the two.



Is the globe warming? The trend over the past 100 years makes that clear.

GLOBAL WARMING

Is man the sole reason it's warming? That's a subjective assessment w/ fragile science giving some suspicion that it may be true.

GLOBAL WARMING

Is the sun to blame? Could be...

GLOBAL WARMING



If he's talking about AGW -- he and his cohorts want a Global Government. They see peace in that solution and will attain it through global taxation in the midst of a crisis...fabricated or not.



I personally think they're idiots.How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?
Well as the world has currently cooled to about where it was in the second decade of the last century those that still claim it is warming can be easily assumed to be using very strange drugs indeed. But all sensible people need to do is prepare their homes for exceptionally cold weather and hang in. I finished insulating my house and even with exceptionally cold weather lately I have only needed minimum heat and so am saving almost $50 a month from what I spent for heating the house only 2 years ago. I am so happy to be a conservative and know how to see things coming and prepare to live through it at low additional cost. I really feel sorry sometimes for poor liberals who will end up spending up to 10 times what I will for heat in the future because they can not understand their place of living is not constructed for cold weather because the builder was a liberal who thought the world was going to continue getting warmer.







Some scientific information revealing the truth about global warming, when it happened and what probably caused it. And as well how many years, centuries or millennia it might be before the world warms up again from the coming ice age.

Because it is undisputed amongst those who actually study the climate.



If he said evolution is undisputed, he would also be correct in that the it is scientifically undisputed.



Both are contested politically by science denialists.How can Obama honestly say " the threat of global warming is undisputed " ?
Because he attacks scientists that oppose it with full force. And because he ignored the hacked emails exposing the scientists who were using false information to try and support the man made global warming farce.
There is nothing that isn't disputed then. I do not believe that 1+1=2, so that is not an undisputed fact even though our entire economy is built on similar disputed facts.
Global warming is certainly not undisputed but over 80% of reputable scientists believe it is a problem that will wreak havoc on our planet if we don't do reduce carbon emissions immediately.
well he has a dog and they are worse for the planet than an SUV so he does not seem concerned. plus he flies around the globe constantly and has limos take him places all the time.....he is causing a lot of GW
It's part of his strategy to steal more from Americans to give to the other countries in the world.



He is a horrible President! 2012 can't come soon enough.
Obama is only saying what his handlers tell him to say.
It depends who you're talking about. If you're talking about climate scientists (which Obama likely is), then the threat is essentially undisputed.

If you're talking about people in general, of course it's not undisputed. But nothing is undisputed among the entire American or global population, so I think it's pretty obvious that's not what President Obama was talking about.



For example, if you say gravity doesn't exist, that doesn't change the fact that it's essentially undisputed that gravity exists. You may dispute it, but physicists don't.
quite clearly, there are a lot of people who question global warming.

however, who are those people?

the energy industry, who could get put out of business.

people paid by the energy industry.

people who watch faux-news sources paid by the energy industry.

people who say that everything that Obama says, or does, is wrong.



however, when you look at people who are educated, and understand climate, and are not paid by the energy industry, there is virtually no disagreement.

%26lt;%26lt;January 22, 2009 A new poll among 3,146 earth scientists found that 90 percent believe global warming is real, while 82 percent agree that human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures.



The survey, conducted among researchers listed in the American Geological Institute's Directory of Geoscience Departments*, "found that climatologists who are active in research showed the strongest consensus on the causes of global warming, with 97 percent agreeing humans play a role". The biggest doubters were petroleum geologists (47 percent) and meteorologists (64 percent).%26gt;%26gt;



97% of climatologists think that there's a problem, and we're causing it.

From the American Meteorological Society: %26lt;%26lt;Human responsibility for most of the well-documented increase in global average temperatures over the last half century is well established. Further greenhouse gas emissions, particularly of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, will almost certainly contribute to additional widespread climate changes that can be expected to cause major negative consequences for most nations%26gt;%26gt;



%26lt;%26lt;Human responsibility for most of the well-documented increase in global average temperatures over the last half century is well established. Further greenhouse gas emissions, particularly of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, will almost certainly contribute to additional widespread climate changes that can be expected to cause major negative consequences for most nations .... impacts are expected to include further global warming, continued sea level rise, greater rainfall intensity, more serious and pervasive droughts, enhanced heat stress episodes, ocean acidification, and the disruption of many biological systems. These impacts will likely lead to the inundation of coastal areas, severe weather, and the loss of ecosystem services, among other major negative consequences.%26gt;%26gt;

%26lt;%26lt;With the release of the revised statement by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 2007, no remaining scientific body of national or international standing is known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate change.%26gt;%26gt;



IE, no reputable scientific organization claims that AGW is not real.

In addition, it is worthy of note that the last group to admit the problem was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.

That should give you a telling clue.

.
I see what you're saying. But there is a difference between "global warming" and co2 emissions.



The threat of global warming is undisputed; if the globe warms up, ice caps melt, floods and heatwaves happen, people die.



What's disputed is if greenhouse gas emissions cause that warming or not. But the threat itself IS undisputed.
