'60 Minutes' Preempted This Sunday for Global Warming Hysteria

Fortunately, most people will likely be watching the Giants-Packers game Sunday evening, and will therefore miss the one-sided hysteria.

However, for those that mysteriously don't switch channels after the Chargers-Patriots game, CBS will offer a special about global warming this Sunday instead of "60 Minutes."

How marvelous.

The CBS News website hysterically described this installment of "The Age of Warming":

Nowhere is the evidence of global warming as striking than near the earth's poles. CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley's report brings him to the top and the bottom of the world, where scientists point out the effects of the warming trend. He also speaks to NASA's top scientist studying climate, who says the Bush administration has restricted what he can say about global warming.

This teaser raises many important questions. For instance, will even one of the over 400 scientists that don't believe man is responsible for global warming be interviewed by Pelley? Or, will he exclusively talk to folks that are involved in advancing this yet unproven theory?

Will any of the scientific studies concerning historical ice levels in the Arctic and the Antarctic be sited, or just the satellite data for the past thirty years?

Assuming the top NASA scientist Pelley will be speaking to is the controversial head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies James Hansen, will he be asked about his connection to George Soros? Or that the GISS predicted an ice age back in 1971? Or that Hansen's organization made a huge error in calculating temperatures this decade that was uncovered by Climate Audit's Stephen McIntyre?

~~snip~~

Or, will this installment be exclusively filled with one-sided information on this controversial subject with not one shred of balance for the viewer?

Yes, sadly, these were all rhetorical questions.

See-BS strikes again. Wonder if Dan Rather will make a cameo appearance holding fake-but-accurate documents?

Global warming list PING!

Looks like they are trying to drum up support for McQueeg. If he wins I suspect one of his first duties will be to sign the Kyoto Treaty.

mccain is already on kyoyo.

Funny; a gullible warming hit piece during a major cold oubreak.
10 below here tonight. We need some global warming, bring it on.

Have you heard this science teacher’s lectures on You Tube? He has a whole series of them. Dh is watching them right now and finding problems with the guy’s logic.

Is McCain the commentator?

Click the link for the entire article — it briefly covers some of the major falsehoods about global warming that the program will no doubt ignore, including the now discredited “hockey stick model” and using data from weather stations that don’t meet federal quidelines (results in heat effects from very localized areas increasing temperatures).

For information on global warming, one good site is:

The Big Lie-
Big Lie tactic is a propaganda device often associated with the Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Simply, it is this: if those in authority repeat an outrageous falsehood over and over, and there is no countervailing voice exposing this big lie to the public, or if that voice is censored by the media, the big lie is likely to be believed.

When does this warming stuff start? I’m freezing here in the midwest. Seriously, it didn’t get above zero all day today!

[Volunteer]

I am writing from Green Bay, WI. It is currently -7 degrees. I had to work outside today and it was a balmy -3 degrees.

I would just like to say, bring on the global warming. Al Gore you once again have promised something you can't deliver. Tommy Lee Jones should just have smothered you in your sleep back in college Gore. You stink.

The Global Warming Believers will watch CBS to feed their brainwashed ideology. All the while completely ignorant of the fact that the rest of the country will be watching the Green Bay Packers New York Giants football game wondering if any of the players will end up getting frostbite. During the last Ice Bowl in 1967, both Jethro Pugh and Bart Starr got frostbite. This will potentially be another historic football game.

Rhinelander is - 18 F right now. That will head on over to Green Bay during the night. It did last night. Green Bay currently - 9 F and falling (per Weather Channel).

LOL, that’s funny. It snowed in central Mississippi today, which only happens maybe once a decade, if that.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Didn’t is also snow there last APRIL !!!

Then it snowed in Buenos Aires during their big global warming celebration.

And it snowed in Baghdad last week.

SOMEBODY IS COOKING THE BOOKS IF THAT IS GLOBAL WARMING.
