ABC: Accept Global Warming or Violate 'Moral Imperative'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/18/2007, 2:42:49 PM by governsleastgovernsbest

If you don't buy into a Goresque view of global warming, you're not just wrong -- you're immoral. That was ABC's implication this morning.

The notion came from Good Morning America co-anchor Bill Weir at the end of his interview of Jim Gooch. The Dem state representative from Kentucky recently had the audacity to hold hearings with witnesses who cast doubt on global warming theories.

Kill babies, sexualize children, keep poor people dependent, but if you believe that the earth is warming and we’re to blame, you’re moral. Good to know.

The Truth does not need to be force fed to people with gestapo tactics, They know it’s a lie, meant to justify taking liberty and prosperity from Americans. The rest of the world benefits at our expense.

Reduce your carbon footprint, save electricity, turn off ABC (and the rest of the MSM also).

Good heavens! Not believing the sky is falling is tantamount to being a conservative - what an awful if not sinful thing to be, a Non-Believer in Climate Change is caused by man, rather than a Believer in Mother Nature doing her thing.........

(Geoffrey Lean is excessive to a fault in this "Sky is Falling" almost comical report )

That little fat toad who has trouble wiping his ass in a stall is informing the world about scientific imperatives?

Fat little grubby politicians deserve to be arrested. They should be on trail, thrown in the stocks, and spat on.

That did nothing to assuage Weir's fury.
BILL WEIR [voice rising]: But according to all these scientists, the more hand-wringing we do, the more we dither on this, the worse it's going to get. And what if you're wrong? What if this in fact is a global catastrophe? Isn't it a moral imperative as a public servant to err on the side of planetary survival?

planetary survival?

Wow, you mean if we don't allow the government to fix the faux global warming the planet will cease to exist!!!

The more these retards mouth off the more people are going to start to ignore them

Yup, the folks to whom remedial algebra is a heart stopping course are now telling us about the physics of electromagnetic wave dispersion (heat’s in there for you libs reading this). We’re melting... what a world, what a world.

Yep!! The gloom and doomers are stepping it up a notch or two... In addition to the money, Hollywood and Gore have already made on their global warming films... could this company (and others) be piling on the pressure:

How many people know NBC, is owned by General Electric ,,,, the 2nd largest company in the WORLD!! Also G-E demanded all shows re write the scripts of every show they produce to include gloom and doom over Global Warming, Why would they do that you ask ,,,,. Because G-E has already invested 1.5 BILLION in new energy sources and most importantly Carbon Coupons that any Co. not up to date or in compliance with (as of yet) unwritten legislation, will be forced to purchase these coupons as like a fine. G-E will have a return of over 20 billion if this happens. What is keeping it from happening?? ,,,,, We the people are not scared enough yet to force the Senate to create the laws,,,,,,,,,,,, Do You Get the PICTURE ???

It's been my experience to ALWAYS follow the money when people like Gore start spouting off about an issue.

Please read carefully. Gooch was the guy arguing AGAINST global warming alarmism. He held the hearings with scientists REFUTING global warming theories. It was the trim Weir of ABC who was preaching alarmism.

You need to see the video, the fat little toad of a politician was the saner part of the interview, the talking head ABC moron was the guy speaking of moral imperatives.

The proper response would have been, “If the science was clear on man made global warming, the politicians wouldn’t have to resort to McCarthyism and promote it as a ‘moral issue’.”

If we are all to be doomed by catastrophic global warming in a few years at best, why hasn’t St. Algore ditched his energy hog mansion, stopped flying private jets and riding in limousine motorcades as an example for us all? ....ditto for RFK Jr and the UN High Commissioners?

If you don't buy into a Goresque view of global warming, you're not just wrong -- you're immoral.

You knew it would reach this point. Environmental zealotry is virtually a religion, so why shouldn't it have all the hallmarks of one?

Global warming is “religion” to the left. Interesting parallels.

Man is fallen after damaging paradise.

Repent or be damned.
