Ran across a fun little 2-minute YouTube clip that is apparently going to run shortly on the ABC's "Hungry Beast" program .
In this episode, the Hungry Beast crew, with the help of Aussie "climate scientists" and wannabees, have put together a rap video that is skeptical ... of fossil fuel firms and of 'skeptic' pundits.
(The "Hungry Beast" crew have done some other interesting work, which can be seen here , here , and here . Their March 3 piece on Google and their March 24 Is Public the New Private are certainly worth a look.)
Seems like just a bit of fun, similar to the soundtracks by climate scientists Roy Spencer, John Christy and their Christian "EcoFreako" rock band (looks lik the website is down, but I might have the files around somewher if anyones's interested).
It's interesting to see climate scientists taking part in this, but like their policy skeptics, they live in this world too, and certainly have a right to have and express their opinions on matters of concern to them.
Without further ado:
Here's the script:
In the media landscape there are climate change deniers and believers, but rarely are those speaking about climate change actual climate scientists... yo....we're climate scientists.. and there's no denying this Climate Change Is REEEEALL..
