      We had overnight lows of 58 in Indianapolis this past weekend. It's July.

        Yea...? Come to New Orleans where it gets hotter every summer. This year we had August in June...when your eyeballs feel like they're melting. I have no idea whether that's related to global warming...but it sure is hotter.

          It's sunny where I am right now. So I have two questions- who are all these idiots who keep complaining about this "rain" thing, and who is dumb enough to believe that there's something called "night?" I mean, like I said, right now it's sunny out.

        In global warming it is the whole of the Earth as an average not any one city, nation, or region there of. One is a spot temp not the whole. You have to look at the whole not the parts.

      It's statements like this that make me long for an "Only on Fox!" theme that we could just insert a link to.

      When the tipping point comes, fools like this will probably still be arguing the same old tired points and making the same ill-informed big oil supported claims. And when we finally understand that we have passed the point of no return, these same idiots will be right back on TV wringing their hands and crying that we should have done something before it was too late.

        You talk about a 'point of no return'. What, specifically do you think that point is?

        What this really means when reality is injected:

        When the tipping point comes (and politicians ban any mention of AGW skepticism and tax us trillions to fight a phantom menace), fools like this (that have swallowed the AGW company line hook, line, and sinker) will probably still be arguing the same old tired points (like "the planet has a fever" and "the polar ice cap will disappear in five years") and making the same ill-informed big oil (green-to-red) supported claims (like millions will die from displacement and malaria and manbearpig). And when we (the environmentalist "deniers" who believe in the integrity of the scientific method) finally understand that we have passed the point of no return (where the true environmental disasters are ignored and species and habitat continue to vanish), these same idiots (who in the past would have sat as Inquisitors at Galileo's trials) will be right back on TV (if we're still allowed to have electrical devices) wringing their hands and crying that we (those of us still sane enough to actually dissect the data) should have done something (like never allow the voices of ignorance to get so loud ever again) before it was too late (to actually do something constructive about the true plights of man, beast, and earth).

      Fred Barnes is exactly right!!! America should stop listening to the likes of Al Gore and realize the truth is that Prince Albert is set up to make billions because of the stupidity of America. Cap and Trade? Who do you think benefits? Why Al and his cronies of course

      the last thing freddie qualifies to be is a scientist on climate change, let alone having an outlet on cable news (even if its fox news).

      Global warming is a scam. There are thousands of scientists that have said so. The green movement and cap and trade are about power and control. The greens want to tell everybody how to live. Cap and trade is a con that algore and goldman will get rich off of and it will do nothing to lower green house emissions. The green movement, cap and trade, gov health care, bailouts, tarp, it's all about power and control. Grow government, grab power and control the masses.
