“Congressman Rohrabacher’s speech on climate issues” (2011-12-17). Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher stands up and recites the current extended list of stupid denialist arguments (“ice caps on Mars”, “CO2 is not a pollutant”, “systematic oppression”, “global elites” hate “meat eaters”, etc.). He holds in his hand a list of fifty communists… scratch that… an editorial from Investor’s Business Daily to prove it.
This is now “a matter of public record” for the approving Anthony Watts, thus ending Global Warming once and for all, again.
Rohrabacher for President! He’ll read whatever we shove under his nose!
Wott's Up With That? 
Representative Rohrabacher (R CA),
… who by his own words doesn’t know the difference between carbohydrates, hydrocarbons or CO2.
He claims that trees are causing global warming.
In a House hearing on climate change, Rohrabacher grilled Jerry Mahlman, Chariman of NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth Scientific Advisory Committee and director of NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. He was dismissive of what Mahlman said. Then skeptic Pat Michaels spoke. Rohrabacher praised him for his contribution and basically gave him a free ride.
Mahlman had the disadvantage of talking in unemotional, factual scientific terms, which Rohrabacher seemed to care less about.
Real scientists tend to understate conclusions and speak in terms of probabilities of outcomes, which to the untrained ear, make it sound like they are unsure of the science. This is all people like Rohrabacher need to hear.
Confirmation that:
“AGW is UNPROVEN!!!!!!!!!!……….”
these Congressmen listen with their minds already made up. They never deviate from the script. Rohrabacher, who has no grasp of science whatsoever, showed nothing but contempt for the testimony of Mahlman, and Watson, valuing his own ignorant opinion over theirs.
[Robert Watson – lead author 1995 IPCC report on climate change impacts:
Senior scientist of White House Office of Science and Technology
Elected Chairman of IPCC by unanimous vote in 1996.]
Robert Watson headed the IPCC until the Bush adminisration used their influence to have him removed because he was convinced of AGW. They had him replaced by Pauchari, who was agnostic, but now is also convinced. So now the deniers attack him.
He is getting on Fox News now as an expert.

In which our “expert” once again fails to see that “replication” in science should be independent replication, not taking someone’s data and code, and running it. They do not need the CRU code (it is, notably, explained in the literature) to replicate HADCRUT. BEST has shown that…(oh, oops, that’s right, Watts already rejected that result, too).
Is this the very same Congressman who asked Todd Stern this insane question:
On his own web page has this even bigger furphy anti-science rebuttal direct from the horse’s mouth:
Meanwhile, back in the real world, where the entire population of the planet Earth actually live:
Say, I can’t seem to remember in the past fifty years hearing, seeing or reading about every dormant volcano or known VEI 7/8/9 super volcanoes, erupting anywhere on the surface or even underwater on this planet called Earth?
Oh well, super face palm!
