      Jeez Sean, try using "Climate Change" instead. The "warming" in global warming is a misnomer and what is really dangerous is the alteration of the major air and sea flows which could cause weather all around the world to gradually get more "wacky" as time goes on.

      Sean is a tool. Look how proud he is....

      Actually Timmee...

      I'll disagree with you... Sean is not a tool...

      He is the dumbest most moronic SOB on TV yesterday, today, and tomorrow!!

      Even BillO and Glen Beck can say an occasional smart or intelligent sounding thing on their useless shows... but Hannity really is the most stupid of them all!!!

      Other than that... you are spot on! :)

        If only it was a question.  Hannity would have to invite someone to answer it in order for it to be a question.  In this case, Hannity is merely speculating.

        But it's interesting he picked the UAE, since they have the least knowledge about global warming of the countries in the world.  Perhaps Hannity also ought to consider they hit 50 degrees Celsius in the UAE this year.  And that Dubai almost broke the record for highest temperature ever there this year.

      If he would read the literature he wants to refute he would know that one of the predictions is that increased heat in the climate system would produce more extreme weather conditions, just like this snow in the United Arab Emirates or Jonquils blooming on New Years Day in Alabama followed by frost in April.

      The point is that Hannity is not so stupid as he is dishonest.  He cares nothing about his country, his fellow citizens or our natural resources.  He only cares about politics.  He will promote any lie, however easily and often refuted, that will be believed by the ignorant fans of his show who tune in to confirm their own biased and ignorant belief system.  He is a republican tool and a hack.  He knows he is second rate, but doesn't care.  He is well paid and that's all that matters to him. Rush, Scarborough, Dobbs, O'Reilly, Coulter, are all the same and are just as dishonest.

      What a shame it is, that people are so easily distracted and drawn off from the true focus of this important Public Policy (and Health and Safety) issue, distracted and drawn off into inane and impossible to prove arguments about the weather...

      ...when all it takes to get back on course, is to grab the wheel and look the blowhard right in the face, and ask:

      AND SO YOU'RE AGAINST EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD OF TAILPIPE EMISSIONS?

       

      I mean, why argue about the weather, when the Public Policy (and Health and Safety) issue is exactly as I just stated it?

      Why let this blowhard hannity draw you off into obscure discussions of the weather, when you can put him immediately on the defensive by confronting him with his interest on this issue: he works AGAINST reducing tailpipe emissions!

      This very important issue is at present (I think) perhaps the most screwed up and stupidly discussed issue in the Public political forum today... only IRAQ seems to exceed it, for being nothing but empty and worthless talk.
