The Center for American Progress reports:
Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.
In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"
Here's a video of the event.

They are taking the obvious explanation on faith
Yes, that's what it is. All those climate scientists are just randomly guessing. Luckily, there are random people like yourself that can crush their hopes and dreams without a problem.

Pretty much. From warming to cooling to warming and now they just say 'screw it, Global Climate Change! Give us more money anyway,' Scientists have been all over the map, and had it been left to Science it would have stayed that way until eventually it was sorted out. Science is full of such stories.
But it was not left to the scientists, extreme 'evolutionary pressure' was put on the climatologists in the form of politics and money until they evolved to a point where almost 100% believe in AGW because the very definition of climatologist was changed to 'someone who studies the global climate and man's destructive influence on it.' So there are still scientists who disagree, they just aren't climatologists. Nice neat circular logic.
Most of us 'deniers' deny that there is even any science left in the AGW movement, that politics has displaced it. So you idiots think putting out a politician who happens to be a congenital liar (second only to the husband of your team's great hope to replace him btw.) to give a rant in the context of a stand up comedy act is going to change a single mind? I know you guys get your 'news' from 'truthy' late night comedy but we are the rational, fact based side. If you want to influence our opinion, try some facts.

What team? I'm a libertarian, you dumb fuck. Do you think that anyone who accepts science is a hardcore communist socialist liberal, or what? You've sure bought into that left-vs-right false dichotomy game, like most suckers do.

How could you possibly know this, since you have made it clear you have no knowledge of science but only a political position? Is this "hammer/nail" or "pot/kettle"?
