I am listening to story after story on NPR about how bad the winter weather is this year. But in between I hear some guy interviewed about global warming and what a problem it is. And he didn’t say climate change, he said global warming. I think that anyone currently in an insane asylum should be let out immediately and replaced with anyone who still believes in global warming.
1. ENVIRONMENT/TODAY: Global Warming Causing More Snow? Come Again? — FoxNews.com

Former Vice President Al Gore told Bill O’Reilly that: “A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.” We need comments from someone who can point out the ridiculousness of his argument, even if you accept the somewhat-implausible argument. I’ve been assigned this story just now by Fox News in New York for the science and technology desk. I’m looking for comments. Please send comments via e-mail. Please send your name, title and company you represent. Please send comments by 10 p.m. CST. Contact: Gene Koprowski, [redacted]
Ecology is extraordinarily relevant. So is astrophysics. Most astrophysists think that the global warming hyperbole is a bunch of hooey.
Do you think that most "climatologists" have a degree in "climatology"? Until a few years ago, there was no such degree. People who call themselves "climatologists" may have degrees in geology, ecology / environmental science, meteorology, or just about anything else.
Patrick Moore has one of those degrees and has spent a lifetime fighting for environment issues. Oh, but he disagrees with cultural leftists who have no education or background in science, like Al Gore, so he needs to be dismissed.
No dice. Patrick Moore is the one of the most credible people on this issue today.

Moore believes the earth is warming, yet I just spent a whole thread listening to No Gnu Taxes telling me it isn't.
You guys fight it out.
Then, when you are done go and look at the correlation between solar activity since the 1950's and warming over the same period of time. Once you do that, you'll find out that Patrick Moore has absolutely no credibility among anyone outside of the anti-science right wing.
