We are climate scientists, Chicago style

We are climate scientists, Chicago style

Summertime in Chicago, feeling more like New Orleans,
I said, summertime in Chicago, feeling more like New Orleans,
Hey, Hey,
Messing with the people and farmland in between.

Took a jump through Mississippi, muddy water was running high,
Took a jump to Alabama, tornadoes in the sky (you know what I mean)
Hey, Hey,
Then out through California, where the reservoir was dry.

You might not see it in person, climate's changing just the same.
I said, You might not see it in person, climate's changing just the same.
Hey, Hey,
Now you better worry, Mr. "Messing-with-the-planet" is his name!

Hey! Are you all left-right backwards in the video?

[DorianSAbbot]

@kimmyszeto I think you're right! According to Ray, "The only way you can really tell is watching my accordion playing, since there's no such thing as a 'left handed' accordion, and if you turned it upside down, the runs on the buttons would go the other way."

[GodHatesPortugal]

What?! No children dropping the "F" bomb and saying we adults are going to kill them all?

[kimmyszeto]

Ray's accordion was the first thing I noticed. Then I saw David playing octaves with his right hand and chords and melodies on the left. Great job, guys! I love the book covers and the teaching clips. It's nothing like seeing scientists in action!

@parker1227 x2 they also fail to take into consideration the moderate 400 trillion trillion watts we're sent by the sun, and also the fact that they cannot play, nor sing properly. Ah, the Internet, making unlikely artists famous since 1972. Well ok, not really....

[jiouoiuuu]

@SaganAppreciationSoc: Oh really? Why is it that every single one of the predictions made by you leftist fraud-mongers, over the last 60 years, has proven to be false? If we true scientists are to look foolish, it will only be for not jailing scam artists and fools soon enough.

For all you denialists talking about no warming in the last 12 years, there are valid reasons for this;

Most of the heat is going DEEP in the ocean.....

or maybe, China has been burning much more coal...

Oh wait, that's not it..... It's the sulfur in the coal....

Yeah, that's it.....
