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.

    As if any skeptics would claim that sea level isn't rising.

    I've encountered that sort of claim when talking to climate deniers in meatspace (they think I'm conservative because I frequently look like a clean-cut white guy). I've also encountered claims that global average temperature isn't rising either, even though it demonstrably is. That's mostly from the portion of climate change deniers who firmly believe that "climate change" is a conspiracy hatched by the godless coastal liberal elites who intend to use it to destroy the entire industrial economy and make everyone into secular humanists. (OK, I'm exaggerating slightly, but not that much.)
