In a May commencement speech delivered at the University of California, Irvine, President Obama mocked members of the U.S. Congress who 'duck the question,' as he put it, "of whether climate change is real by saying that they are not scientists". Since then, articles appearing in a number of "neutral" media outlets, including the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, Cape Cod Times, Huffington Post, etc., have endorsed this learned approach of addressing the issue of climate change. Clearly, they display climate change believers' chosen tactic of ridiculing or dismissing as climate change deniers anyone, including scientists, analysts and politicians, who dares to raise questions about the views of many within the contemporary climate science community.
