After taking time out of his last few broadcasts to try to clarify his Feb. 8 remarks that the "snowpocalypse" was because of global warming, one would hope MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan would have learned his lesson.
Ratigan spent a portion of his Feb. 10 and now a portion of his Feb. 11 shows trying to clarify his statement - that "these ‘snowpocalypses' that have been going through D.C. and other extreme weather events are precisely what climate scientists have been predicting, fearing and anticipating because of global warming," as he said - but that he didn't necessarily believe that premise.
"Now, in addition to that being completely wrong on so many levels, it's also a total misrepresentation over the climate change theory that I was attempting to explain," Ratigan said. "Let me be very clear - I do not believe that this storm is proof of climate change. And I do not believe that this storm is not proof of climate change. But I do believe that you, Mr. Beck, did a tremendous disservice to your viewers by bastardizing the most basic science behind the theory, period. That's not very good."

This is an interesting development for those tens of viewers at MSNBC.
Ratigan (what is about Lib names?) is confused! It is NOT Beck, who bastardized the science. Confused...or an ignorance here; which says more to the problem; than the solution. Clearly, Ratigan is hanging with the ‘science b-tards’, themselves.
Nobody watches his show. This is the only way he can get any attention whatsoever. And people keep accommodating him.
He must of invested in Green companies.
Hard to believe people still pay to watch this meaningless, childish garbage.
WHAT has happened to Ratigan? He had a good gig at CNBC. Now he’s one of the nutcase moonbats on the cellar-dwelling pMSNBC...
Do these leftist drone expect us to forget how for years they've been saying Global Warming will cause more droughts?
Here's the Google search results for: drought "global warming"
It returns 2,180,000 results. Here's a sampling of the titles just from the 1st page:
"Global warming to cause massive drought over next 100 years, say climatologists"So, Global Warming Theory is proven when the air has less moisture"Drought's Growing Reach: NCAR Study Points to Global Warming as ..."
"Global warming future: Drought, wildfire, floods, pestilence ..."
"Global warming future: Drought, wildfire, floods, pestilence ..."
"Global warming 37 percent to blame for droughts"
Global Warming is the only "proven" scientific theory that has ever been allowed establish itself by a NO FAIL test. Is that why its "settled science" and the debate is closed?
“Could have been caused by Global Warming?”
Show me hard, irrefutible science that says 1) it IS caused by global warming; 2) Global Warming exists based on reliable observations that meet the strictest rules of the scientific method; 3) It is absolutely irrefutably and directly impacted by CO2; 4) the amount of CO2 produced by man has a direct, demonstrable, measurable impact above and beyond what exists in nature; and 5) all other possible sources, including natural cyclical weather patterns, solar activity/inactivity, earth’s procession/tilt etc have been unequivocally ruled out as having an impact.
Then I’ll have a look-see.
Global warming causes liberal insanity.
MSNBC now has to copy Glenn’s show in order to try to get viewers?
I bet Beck is laughing himself silly at this!
Someone memo this to the MSNBC idiot, kkthx: http://igloo.atmos.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/test/print.sh?fm=08&fd=12&fy=2005&sm=02&sd=11&sy=2010
When it’s hotter than usual, it’s due to global warming, when it’s colder than ever in history, it global warming. can somebody help me, I’m so confused.
The debate should not be whether climate change is or is not occurring because what should be obvious to everyone is that the climate has been changing since the beginning of time and will continue to change regardless of what we do or don't do to try to stop it.
It’s true that cold weather, while providing an occasion to mock global warming, does not disprove it. But the mocking would be far less effective had global warmists not spent the past quarter-century making a mockery of the scientific method.
