Beck has car idled outside of studio during show to "do our part for global warming"

AND SO THE POINT of the comedy skit or political commentary, was to run an automobile engine and produce tailpipe emissions, for no reason at all... for no reason of transportation or work... just to idle the engine and burn gasoline and make tailpipe emissions, for the reason of... for what reason?

OK, this is actually a prime and important Public Policy issue (and Health and Safety issue too), this business about burning oil and gasoline, for heat and transportation (and then doing all we can to minimize and otherwise deal with, the hazardous consequences that naturally attend to the burning of oil and gasoline)...

And so what kind of political commentary of even political activism is it, to needlessly burn oil and gas, for what reason or what kind of statement to make now?

This is what you all get, for getting behind strange arguments about the weather, and for getting behind even stranger public (and supposedly politically active) private persons... persons who, when they were more than public figures, they were Public Servants (to an Office as high as that of the Vice Presidency), and yet did so little in that Official capacity, as to lie down and not even fight against, the Great Election Robbery of 2000 (Florida Chapter)...

OK, how about getting back on course, and stop arguing obscurely about the weather (and stop promoting that self-promoting and non-fighting fat ex-VP), and start arguing about...

REDUCING THE HEALTH HAZARD OF TAILPIPE EMISSIONS, IN ADDITION TO REDUCING THE CAUSE OF THAT HEALTH HAZARD, THE BURNING OF OIL AND GASOLINE

(And for all of you who are interested, that's a People's Public Policy Issue I just stated: an overwhelming majority of folks, all across the political spectrum, are interested in that issue)

You see what you get, when you get behind Al Gore?

You get so far away from the focus of the problem (and also therefore from the solution to it), as to get into perverted comedy routines about "global warming", where perverted idiots think it's some kind of political commentary (or comedy) to pointlessly idle a car engine, and pointessly burn gasoline, to pointlessly make TAILPIPE EMISSIONS...

See what you get?

What a creep to make such a fundamentally detrimental situation into a political issue. Is this because he does not believe >90% of the world's scientist? Or just because he wishes to try to embarrass Gore? Good grief.

BTW, I found fawltylogic's comments very, very funny here!!

Here is what a scientist says:

Subject: Climate models are useless 

Marc, First, I sent several e-mails to you with an error in the address and they have been returned to me. So I'm resending them in one combined e-mail. 

Yes, one could say that I was, in effect, Hansen’s supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results. I did not have the authority to give him his annual performance evaluation. He was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind's effect on it). He thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress. 

My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit. Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it. They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy. 

With best wishes, John 

Sorry this doesn't fit the template of econuts.
