Sweet Lord! Hell has frozen over.

What a moron. The polar icecaps melting proves global warming but a heat wave does not. Anyone remember the 3 months of over 100 degree temperatures? Compared to that recent summers have been very mild.

I feel better now...although, I can't get Pat's sneakers out of my head...

...oh goodness...

Dizzy...hugh, I need help...

Global warming is caused by all the heat generated when Robertson does 8000 lb leg presses.

But if he really thinks it's due to burning fossil fuels, someone call him up and ask him what his private jet runs on.

Sounds like you need a good scotch, rosso. Cures what ails you.

Now if Pat Robertson would just die, then that would be one more step towards progress and understanding.

Global warming is a myth no matter how many fake scientists Al Gore parades in front of the cameras.

"Global warming is a myth no matter how many fake scientists Al Gore parades in front of the cameras."

Of course, you are correct. The 170 scientists that think it is a myth are the correct ones and the 170,000 that believe the data are obviously wrong on both that and the fact that the earth is round and that the earth revolves around the sun.

I suppose the news angle here is that he's not putting the blame on lesbians and witchcraft. BTW, how many fatwahs has The Most Reverend Robinson got going these days?

You mean we have made a convert? Good grief, what do we do with him?

And here I thought the dispensationalists dismissed global warming because they would be raptured home before any bad consequences could pile up.

"Now if Pat Robertson would just die, then that would be one more step towards progress and understanding."
--God

God, will there be greater rejoicing when Pat dies or when Fidel dies? I know it's a toughie but inquiring minds want to know.

So? What's the problem? All we gotta do is get Pat & GWB to pray for an end to global warming. That could come in our escalating "war on terror". Once it morphs into a full-blown global war, and about 75% of the polluting inhabitants of Earth are wiped out, GW (Hey, you ever noticed "global warming" and "George W" have the same initials?) should slow down to nothing. Then NASCAR, the preferred sport of Jesus, can continue unfettered.

In 10 years, global warming will be as common a fact as the earth is the third planet from the sun. Children will scoff at the ignoramuses who claimed global warming is a hoax just like they laugh at those who claimed the earth was flat.

You'll find that in the scheme of history, you were the flatlander, the naysayer, the disbeliever. You'll wonder why you didn't just bother to take a block of time to peruse the arguments on "both sides" of the scientific discussion. You'll find that you only came to the enlightenment when there was no turning back, when you were faced at every corner with the indisputable fact of global warming, when even your average 8 year old could recite what global warming is and what causes it.

If only, in the face of overwhelming evidence, you had mustered the will to actually look at any of it.

In an exhaustive study of almost every piece of research published on global warming in scientific journals, a sample of 928 articles was examined. Every single one of those 928 studies concluded that global warming was happening and that human activity was substantially responsible for it. In other words, as Gore has noted, the scientific debate about global warming and its sources, is over. In a parallel study of 636 news accounts of global warming, by contrast, 53% suggested that there was no scientific consensus on the question of global warming and its causes.

LEAKED MEMO: Coal Industry Coordinating Propaganda Blitz Attacking Global Warming Science

A secret memo by the coal industry details a coordinated campaign to spread misinformation about global warming. The memo expresses fear that if the government addresses climate change � through a carbon tax or regulating greenhouse gasses � it will cut into their profits.

Their solution: �support the scientific community that is willing to stand up against the alarmists.� (The memo also refers to people who believe in global warming science as those �whose true motivation is to stop growth, develop renewable resources [and] discontinue the use of fossil fuels, especially coal.�)

But the coal-based utility leading the campaign ran up against a problem: there is no scientific community who agrees with them. The memo acknowledges almost everyone who disputes global warming science have no �involvement in climatology.� So they�ve decided to lavish funding on one climatologist who will do their bidding: Pat Michaels.

The memo describes how the coal-based utility contributed �$100,000 to Dr. Michaels this year.� It also �contacted all the [utilities] in the United States� asking for contributions to Michaels� research and �obtained additional contributions.� Here are a few highlights from Michaels� career:

� In 2003, Michaels famously �proved� that global warming was mostly hype by mixing up degrees and radians.

� In 2004, Michaels told Business Week, �We know how much the planet is going to warm. It is a small amount, and we can�t do anything about it.�

� This year, Michaels completely misrepresented a study by Curt Davis to falsely claim that Antartica has been gaining ice in recent years.

In 2003, A Harvard scientist told the Senate Republican Policy Committee that Michaels has �published little if anything of distinction in the professional literature, being noted rather for his shrill op-ed pieces and indiscriminate denunciations of virtually every finding of mainstream climate science.�

Funding Michaels is part of a larger propaganda campaign, involving several industries, described in the memo. Other activities include bankrolling a movie that attacks An Inconvenient Truth, deceptive advertisements by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and aggressive lobbying. Corporations meet regularly with Michaels and CEI to discuss strategy.

"Global warming is a myth no matter how many fake scientists Al Gore parades in front of the cameras."

Prove it.

What a bunch of dummies you all are. God made the earth to control it's own temperature. And, It will! But there is something that I believe that is destroying our atmosphere/ozone layer! That damn shuttle they blast though to space is whats destroying the protection the earth supposed to have.
Damn NASA, tits on a bore hog has more value than that damn bunch of nothings.

"We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels," Robertson said on his "700 Club" broadcast. "It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air."

OK, DBI, you won't believe or respect Al Gore, but what are you gonna do now, smarty? Surely you'll accept Pat Robertson's analysis. After all, not only does he talk to God, but God talks back to him.

God made the earth to control it's own temperature. And, It will...

It's probably true that, given time, the planet can compensate. The problem is that the planet is only in such balance when it responds to natural events, very slowly over thousands of years. It's just not able to cope in a timely manner with the speed with which humans or a huge asteroid can muddy the waters.

So, if we're willing to stop screwing with Earth, and if we're willing to wait a long long time then, yes, the planet will probably be able to clean up the mess we're causing.

I think Pat was talking about "global worming," the theory that satanic earthworms are crawling up from the pits of hell and making our feet real hot and stinky.

Thanks for providing a link to your blog. I see you're reading Ann Coulter and Wayne Lapierre. Here's three books you might want to read:

Cobra II - Michael R. Gordon and Bernard E. Trainor

The One Percent Doctrine - Ron Suskind

Fiasco - Thomas Ricks

These books reveal the basic incompetence of the Bush administration. They'll give you a different perspective than some of the sources I saw on your Blog Roll.

I bet Pat and his wife are still driving their Suburban's though.

When the Earth heats up enough causing 40% of it's human population to be displaced there will be great hardships leading to certain nuclear wars. This will be followed by a Nuclear Winter which will balance out the Global Warming and everything will be just hunkie dorey especially after all the thumpers are raptured away. Peace y'all.

Slowly they will all have to admit they have been misled.

Most will just shut up and hope no one remembers how long after the situation was obvious before they opened thier minds.

What is important to note, as anon 12:07 cites, that Falwell is willing to assent to the conclusions of peer reviewed science, but for the wrong reasons. Hence giving the moronic masses the freedom to continue to make stupid choices while covering his own apocalyptic ass. Stupid is as stupid does.

Pat is one of the few humans I'd like to see tortured buck naked by a pack of snarling dogs while his old genitals are wired up to big batteries at Gitmo.

Allah....are you listening?

Even a blind hog will root up an acorn on occasion.

If Pat runs his mouth long enough he will make an intelligent statement on occasion.

It was luck not intelligence that made this statemnet.

Tomorrow he will say a goofball thing again.

Here's a question that demonstrates the true religion of Arkansas:

Who will draw a longer euology and media memorials?
Pat Robertson or
Frank Broyles
?
Let' s hear from you God n' Flag boys too.

God will deliver Frank's eulogy personally....

how many times must I lecture to you before you respond. read my above posts or I'll whine and cry and lecture until you're sick of me and you leave this forum.

P......I must admit you've confused me.

let's put pat on an icecap and watch him melt. ignore it all and it'll go away. our planet that is.

"That damn shuttle they blast though to space is whats destroying the protection the earth supposed to have". -
you're right about that. the space shuttles destroy more of the ozone than anything else.

There is one small problem with discussing facts & science; the United States is now on par with third world countries. The US chooses to misconstrue inconvenient facts, such as: evolution, geology, cosmology, ecology & economics. Instead of an enlightened debate on solutions we have imbecilic schoolyard taunts & straw-man arguments of business as usual vs. back to the Stone Age. It's time to lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
