On the October 3 broadcast of Fox News Radio 600 KCOL's Mornings with Keith and Gail!, co-host Gail Fallen suggested that the current debate about global warming -- the human-related component of which she and co-host Keith Weinman have dubiously questioned during numerous broadcasts -- is “portrayed by Hollywood in films like Ice Age.” A 2002 animated children's movie, Ice Age is set during a naturally occurring planetary ice age and depicts the characters -- a squirrel, a saber-toothed tiger, and a sloth, among others -- journeying southward to evade advancing glaciers in an attempt to return a lost infant to its father.

A sequel to Ice Age, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, was released in 2006 and follows the same cast of animated characters as they face potential flooding as a consequence of naturally rising temperatures that melt the planet's ice.

From the October 3 broadcast of Fox News Radio 600 KCOL's Mornings with Keith and Gail!:

WEINMAN: OK. Having the scientific background; being our neighbor in Northern Colorado, as being -- any of us could pass you on the street and say “hello” -- and as being “one of us,” with a background in science and having experience; having read the book Sky is Not Falling; having seen the source of the global warming argument, Al Gore, last night in Denver -- how does Steve Slade feel? What are your feelings about -- when you hear “global warming,” when you see it on the alphabet networks, on the news at night, when you hear it in the news, when you read it in the newspaper, when you hear somebody talking about it at the next table at breakfast?

FALLEN: As portrayed by Hollywood in films like Ice Age, for heaven's sakes.
