President Barack Obama Takes on Global Warming Deniers, Explains Climate Science During Nevada Town Hall Meeting

President Obama has stepped into a hornet's nest, in terms of addressing climate change. The anti-science crowd has been out in full force trying to kill the myth that the recent big snowstorms undercut the whole premise of global warming. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), conservative hypocrite Sean Hannity, and yes,  Donald Trump have taken great pleasure in mocking former VP Al Gore, with Trump taking a shot at his Nobel Peace prize. Friday, during a town hall meeting in Nevada, President Obama took a direct shot at the global warming deniers. In my opinion, he explained in straightforward language how record snowstorms in Washington D.C. are connected to manmade climate change, but, of course, many will beg to differ with his interpretation:

First of all, we just got five feet of snow in Washington and so everybody’s like-a lot of the people who are opponents of climate change, they say, “See, look at that. There’s all this snow on the ground, you know, this doesn’t mean anything.” I want to just be clear that the science of climate change doesn’t mean that every place is getting warmer. It means the planet as a whole is getting warmer. But what it may mean is, for example, Vancouver which supposed to be getting snow during the Olympics, suddenly is at 55 degrees and Dallas suddenly is getting seven inches of snow. The idea is that as the planet as a whole gets warmer, you start seeing changing weather patterns and that creates more violent storm systems, more unpredictable weather. So any single place might end up being warmer. Another place might end up being a little bit cooler. There might end up being more precipitation in the air. More monsoons, more hurricanes, more tornadoes, more drought in some places, floods in other places.

 Well, your interpretation of his comments will be squarely based on where you fall on the global warming debate. Many feel it's hogwash and just another ploy by some to deflect from the real issues affecting the American people.
