@BarackObama is a Twitter account run by Organizing for Action, and they’re underscoring the “settled science” of climate change with the hashtag #ScienceSaysSo.
The above tweet was followed up by a similar one, but with the arrogance on overdrive:
Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening. #ScienceSaysSo
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 12, 2013
Iowahawk added to that list:
Dogs fly jets. RT @BarackObama Gravity exists. The Earth is round. Climate change is happening. #ScienceSaysSo

Unquestioning blind allegiance on this issue was immediately pledged to Team Obama:
I trust Obama to wield Science! as smartly as he does math.

Tweeters also schooled @BarackObama about science:
Scientists are not science. RT @BarackObama Climate change is real. #ScienceSaysSo. pic.twitter.com/sSvlYVUnbu

The only science the "pro-science" left claims to accept is "climate science" but even then, only part of it. #ScienceSaysSo

Iowahawk also had some history for the alarmists and reminded them about some things that were once considered “settled science” in many circles:
"The U.S. life expectancy will drop to 42 years by 1980." – Stanford biologist Paul Erlich, 1969 #sciencesaidso
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) August 12, 2013
"A situation has been created that could lead to a billion or more people starving to death [by the 1980s]" Erlich 1974 #sciencesaidso

#ScienceSaidSo "The Cooling World: scientists say earth entering new Ice Age" – 1975 http://t.co/EX4trgfmaq

According to 1976 science, you are dead. #ScienceSaidSo

Others weighed in on “settled science”:

@PresidentObama, remember when science said that stomach ulcers were caused by excess acid? #ScienceSaidSo OOPS! http://t.co/zVJz9bzVD9

Hey, remember when the FDA's food pyramid had us eating tons of processed carbohydrates & we got really fat? That was fun. #sciencesaidso

Your disease is caused by foul blood humours. We can fix that with this leech. #sciencesaidso

That’s a lot of “settled science” that became unsettled, and of course this current “settled science” isn’t as settled as the global warming alarmists would like everybody to believe.
@BarackObama Actual climate DATA contradicts IPCC climate change MODEL. http://t.co/mHfMg9b708 #ScienceSaidSo

Eventually, #ScienceSaysSo gave birth to a new hashtag:
