While polls show more people drifting away from acceptance of "global warming," the newest superstar among conservatives – Glenn Beck – is embracing it.
"You'd be an idiot not to notice the temperature change," he says. He also thinks it could be caused by man's activity.
At home, he's going green by using energy-saving products.
"I'm willing to do anything but use the CFLs," he says of compact fluorescent light bulbs. "I put them in once and couldn't stand the way they lit up the room."
The kinder, gentler, greener and warmer side of Beck, known as a firebrand conservative, came to light in an interview in USA Weekend.
Beck also has lots of friends on the other side of the political spectrum, he reveals. He calls George Clooney "a good, honest man." Beck says the two of them had an extended conversation about the genocide in Darfur.
"We came to an immediate, completely wholehearted agreement about the situation," Beck says. "That is, to put aside the politics and give troops what they need to protect people over there. He's a good, honest man who believes passionately about doing something about it."
Beck's personal publicist, Matt Hiltzik, is a Democratic power player who helped get Hillary Rodham Clinton elected to the U.S. Senate, says the magazine report.

Hit piece. Read his book, listen to his show, or read his magazine, and you’ll know that he believes Global Warming is a load of garbage.
What about this clip from his show: Global Warming greatest scam in history

Because of WND? HA! Good one.
I think Glenn might be playin’ rope-a-dope....anyhoo, if he REALLY DOES believe this, it’ll be good: it’ll show the moonbats that the opposition side is NOT a monolithic mindset...
I don’t make my mind up based on what Glenn Beck says, or what Rush Limbaugh says, or what Dick Cheney says, or what Sarah Palin says....
OTOH, I do find myself pleased they agree with ME so much.

LIES
These trolls are pretty determined with this stuff. Between truthers and birthers, he’s got his hands full.
Glenn Beck HATES CFL’s. He took them OUT of his new house.
LIES LIES LIES
More lies to bash Beck with
This is not true. He specifically said he took the CFL’s out of his house because they are not bright enough.
Garbage. Beck debunked this story on his radio show.
its not true
Beck is starting to lose me. First I heard about his rude behavior towards sarah palin. Now this.
And I’m not all gung ho about sarah being the next prez. But she is awesome in terms of her conservatism and her voting record. Beck is needing an ass whoopin before he ends up like bill oreilly.
I can see that you are very, very concerned about that.
I’m very concerned about your concern.
lies to do him in?
this is not true
WND is a bunch of crap. They have no credibility with me.
You’re welcome. The people on FR that don’t like Beck much just jump all over threads like this when they are blatantly not true. On his radio show, he said they got it all wrong when USA Today said he bought a house and installed CFL bulbs. In fact, he rented a house and took all of the CFL bulbs out. It’s amazing the amount of freepers who don’t even listen to Beck believe the State Run Media repeated by WND. I thought freepers were smarter than that.
its not true
