Obama’s smear misfires at GOP skeptics: ‘The inconvenient truth is Obama & the Democrats have made many utterly ignorant & often times comical climate science claims’ — A Climate Depot Rebuttal
Climate Depot Responds to Obama campaign's climate smear of skeptics -- Morano: 'Bluntly stated, a man -- President Obama -- who declared his presidency would result in ‘the rise of the oceans beginning to slow’, has no business whatsoever claiming he understands, let alone champions science in any way'
Obama climate video stars GOP truthsayers | Monckton - The SPPI Blog
INVERCARGILL, NEW ZEALAND – A priceless video at barackobama.com, Call Out Climate Deniers In Congress, is herding voters to the GOP.

The video cites a dozen Republican lawmakers talking common sense about climate, followed by Soebarkah talking nonsense. The GOP, which controls the House, has rejected 24 Donkey Party requests to hold climate hearings. The Eeyores are upset.
It’s an ill wind. | Pointman's
Then there is the claim that wind doesn’t use fuel, so must be cheap. This relies on people not knowing that coal is only 10-12% of the costs of a normal power station. Elementary economics says that those turbines have to pay for themselves, and their very high maintenance costs, by the amount of electricity generated. If the cost to build a wind farm is 4 times that of similar output in a conventional plant, then free fuel makes little difference. The real cost of wind power is 3-4 times that from coal, as can be seen by the rise in electricity prices as it is introduced.
