On Fox, Forbes' Rutledge calls global warming "bunk" because "[t]emperatures in the last 10 years have actually declined"

It is amazing how small the minds of these people are. Do any of these talking heads ever investigate what they pronounce to be the truth? So why is the artic ice melting and antartica calving icebergs the size of manhattan? I guess if your not there to see it happen, it doesn't exist.

The FOX business channel is discussing science ? They couldn't find a republican at NASA ? Their extensive minute "accurate" reporting didn't protect us from runaway CEO's and the effects of deregulation for eight years and now they want to " examine ' the weather pattern changes ?

Global Warming is bunk. Everybody but the US says there is no evidence. So who are the wrong ones? The United States or the rest of the entire world?

Well if India and China aren't going to do anything then we shouldn't either. The last thing we want to do is set an example for the rest of the world to follow.

Let those pansy Europeans try all on their own to save the freakin' planet. We're the USA and we don't have to do anything we don't want to do.

Global warming? Ha! It rained and was cool yesterday so that proves there's no global warming. Stupid scientists with their fancy book learning.

I can see how the Reps get away with this kind of crap now. I'm personally sick and tired to pointing out that this claim is BS. I honestly never want to talk about it again. I guess that's their goal. Wear the opposition down until they just can't fight anymore. Until theirs is the only voice left.

Anybody else notice he seems to be reading a script of some sort? He's pauses and looks down at something several times before he continues.

This idiot can't even remember his talking points.

Here's an example of more global warming "bunk":


Massive glacier in sub-Antarctic island shrinks by a fifth

(AFP) – 3 days ago
PARIS — One of the biggest glaciers in the southern hemisphere shrivelled by a fifth in 40 years, French scientists said on Wednesday.
The Cook glacier on Kerguelen, an island in France's southern Indian Ocean territories, covered 501 square kilometres (193 square miles) in 1963.
Combining satellite images with other data, glaciologists from the Laboratory for Studying Geophysics and Space Oceanography estimate the glacier lost an average of nearly 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) in height each year by 2003, shedding almost 22 percent of its original volume.
In terms of area, the glacier shrank by 1.9 sq. kms. (0.74 sq. miles) per year from 1963 to 1991.
Thereafter the loss doubled, to 3.8 sq. kms (1.48 sq. miles) per year. By 2003, the glacier covered only 403 sq. kms (155 sq. miles), a retreat of 20 percent compared with 1963.
The study has been accepted by a US publication, the Journal of Geophysical Research.

Clean air and water are great, I consume both of them most every day.

There's your problem.. oxygen deprivation.

I have to go with Rutledge on this one, I think it takes a small mind to believe a hundred year weather forecast that has been put together with computer modeling, that doesn't explain all of the previous climate change before we were adding one quarter of one percent more green house gas to the the amount that nature was spewing out on a continual basis. You could cut 60 to 70 persent of the carbon monoxide getting into the atmosphere just by sealing all of the oceans in platic, now that might control the weather. I know Borrack Obama can walk on water and he is the mesiah and all, but I don't think he can control the weather. It is just a little immoral to waste resources on such a frivolous venture when there are poor people with real problems that will go without. They used to say "Well thats the weather, you can't do anything about the weather". Now we have politicians who say I can fix the weather and the worst part is we have people who vote for them.

I love Nature, I need it to live, obviously, and I care about my kids and future generations. I do what I can.

Personally, I absolutely do not think I should be forced to pay or otherwise be further inconvenienced as I struggle to get by in this world, until; The last yacht is turned into an artificial reef, the last golf course is growing food-crops or bio-fuels, the last vacation home is housing the homeless, the last mansion is turned into an orphanage, the last trendy hi-brow resort is turned into a free community college. When I start putting as much carbon in the air and use up as many resources as Al Gore or the average Rockefeller or Kennedy-spawn, then I will have crossed the line between my Right to exist and being an undeniable planetary parasite.

I am so sick of people who think burning 60,000 gallons of jet fuel to get a picture of their over-indulged face next to a whale,,, somehow makes them an environmentalist.

I am certainly not falling for this cap-and-trade snake oil lunacy. Monetizing yet another intangible for Wall Street to play with, and giving even more disproportionate benefits to the "top" 1% is not going to save the environment. Moreover, doing end-runs around our Constitution by putting more and more of Our Land and our personal activities under the jurisdiction of International Law and Commerce is not going to do anything good for this Nation or Our Freedoms, at all. I personally don't want my great grand-children to starve of course, but I certainly don't want them hanged for poaching the King's deer, if they are starving.

Be careful what you wish for. How much carbon does an average resident in the US produce? So, getting rid of 11 million + illegals would reduce our Nation's carbon footprint, dependence on foreign oil, urban sprawl, etc etc etc by how much??? Woo Hoo, I just saved how many species from extinction? Want to put the INS and the EPA into the same Department? Want to buy carbon offsets from those volunteers patrolling the border in Arizona & Texas? Maybe start posting carbon-bounties on illegals? Why not?

How about you make those hard but necessary decisions BEFORE you try handing ME yet another bill to make life for my Family harder and even less competitive than it already is?

You consume them most every day? Are you a genie?

I love the rationale. Well then, if India is not doing it...

I guess setting the standard isn't the country's goal anymore.

Anecdotal evidence isn't proof of anything. Ice melting doesn't mean that the globe is going to warm in the future. It's just an indication that there had been warmer temperatures. With the cooler global temperatures that are occurring one would expect a reverse in the future. Also, cherry picking a hot spot in the U.S. doesn't prove that there is global warming. This is a tactic that the evening news loves to use.

By the way, if I see another photo clip of ice falling off of an iceberg, or a polar bear on an ice float, I'm going to lose my mind. Ice has broken off of icebergs for millions and millions of years. As for the polar bear, he's not stranded, he's surfing.
