Yep. And where did you get your climatologist qualifications Steve?

In all the lack of seriousness that the video exudes, I would not think that we should take its message very seriously, either. To do an intentional parody on ones selves would require a great amount confidence and/or hubris. Doing an unintentional self parody (as seen by outsiders) is often the bane of the arrogant, but nevertheless no less humorous than if it were intentional. I am not at all into rapping, but I know lame rapping when I see it. I would think that these intelligent climate scientists would also see that and I would suspect that at least some, after viewing the finished product and in context, would see the irony portrayed in the video of the scientist getting far afield and into obviously unfamiliar venues in attempts to make advocacy points.

There was a comedy routine on SNL where an arrogant character would have said in the context of this video and summed up its message rather well: “I am a climate scientist and you are not”. Well, I am Kenneth Fritsch and you are not. Now for the next question in the climate “science” debates.
