I recently visited our top secret Institute of Latter Day Climatology in the West Wing of the White House where I was privileged to see not only our most advanced climate modeling supercomputer (pictured below), but also to ask it some impromptu questions about Climate Change (nee Global Warming).
My pay grade wasn't high enough to have direct hands-on use of this "new school" device but Dr. Hansen was kind enough to take my questions, enter them, and tell me the answers.
Some of the more difficult questions took several minutes to produce results. During these delays Dr. Hansen would flip the computer, alternately upside down and right-side up, each time peering at something on the bottom of the device. I thought he was just fidgeting but he said he was checking the temperature gauge to insure the device didn't melt due to the immense number of calculations it was performing.
The Questions and Answers:
Q: Will this hurricane season be busy, average, or light?A: Yes
Q: Is global warming a hoax?
A: No
Q: Will it be warmer 100 years from now?
A: Yes
Q: Can anything good be caused by global warming?
A: Very doubtful
Q: Will it be colder 100 years from now?
A: Yes
Q: Is CO2 a toxic gas?
A: Yes
Q: Is every drought caused by global warming?
A: Yes
Q: Can global warming cause earthquakes?
A: Most likely
Q: Is there anything that cannot be caused by global warming?
A: No
Q: Can Obama lower the oceans?
A: Outlook good
Q: Hasn't the climate always been changing?
A: No
I was so impressed with this demonstration that I just had to see how these amazing feats were accomplished, so I got this schematic drawing of the secret technological marvel (from the Chinese).
And here are some other new school high-tech climate prediction tools currently in use at the institute.
In recent comments, President Obama said he's still got "some game" left in him. Dr. Hansen, in support of the President's remark, said, "By Barackzebub, here at our climate institute, we still got some games too."
