Glenn Beck Interviews Steve Milloy on Global Warming

[darwindawkins2]

A crony for the oil and tobacco industry commenting about global warming... How nice.

[brianhar100]

i hope you enjoy your money in hell glenn

In 2010, global average temperature was 0.53°C (0.95°F) above the 1961-90 mean. This value is 0.01°C (0.02°F) above the nominal temperature in 2005, and 0.02°C (0.05°F) above 1998.Arctic sea-ice cover in December 2010 was the lowest on record,Over the ten years from 2001 to 2010, global temperatures have averaged 0.46°C (0.83°F) above the 1961-1990 average, and are the highest ever recorded for a 10-year period since the beginning of instrumental climate records. WMO.

[evanfbit]

why would you call people who believe in global warming hippy freaks ass hole

[thefrozenmercury]

Faux news used to be great, but it's turn into a propaganda machine. Fixating on the most extreme and ridiculous examples is not addressing the actual issues.

Also, iron is a vital micronutrient for phytoplankton growth and photosynthesis. It is often the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth. This has been known and tested since the 1930's showing productive results.

Assuming the iron proposal should be dismissed for unlisted reasons, Beck still avoided giving it a shred of credit.

[biscayne63]

It's not global warming, it's solar system warming! I don't think we can blame suv's for Mars heating up!

[checkyoursources]

@biscayne63 Uranus is cooling. Mars orbit is not the same as the Earths. next denier please.

[ev1Lsect]

The science is sound from the position that Milloy makes, but Beck is not a global climate change skeptic, he's a flat out denier. He must of forgotten this interview because he contradicts this science everyday on his shows. I like Milloys science, but his partisan views are garbage, he boasts about being a "Libertarian" but from the shows I've seen him speaking on, he is just motivated by being anti-government. He should change his message to be more like, "science makes reality objective."

[civildiscord]

This is basically a televised back yard conversation between ignorant hicks. The fact that Beck spends half his time discussing light bulbs tells it all. It would be easier to take him seriously if he didn't try to pretend to be a journalist, or whatever it is he's supposed to be.

I don't give a fuck if someone took their time to write something that you read and convinced you of their idea. It doesn't mean for one second that you are right in any way or that the idea is right. Pull your conspiracist head out of your FAKE NEWS ass!

This buffoon is saying Generation Investment Management does not exist! LOL

Generationim(dot)com

Notice how it tries to attack & smear, not address the truth. Its typical of the AGW Cult

[kazimierz198]

glen beck and logic: best oxymoron yet.

[Chelesto]

I AM AGHAST AT THE FACT THAT THIS IS REAL LIFE.

oh my well if we're going to be so proud of our republic, which i do love, then i feel like glenn beck is kind of representing me to other countries. and i dont like it because he seems to never do any research ever. maybe he does, he just have other interests? anyway i re-neg his ability to be in the public eye of other countries it's embaressing

[Thisawareness]

Al Gore & Corporate friends set to make billions off of the Global Warming Scam

Al Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). According to Gore, the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are going green. Generation Investment Management, purchases -- but isnt a provider of -- carbon dioxide offsets

[SechyoolarYOOESAY]

Oh Yea, thats what he wants alright.....he wants money.....by fearmongering the public to believing the Earth is warming via our interactions with it.

You sir, are a scam. You exhibit nothing but a hoax, conspiracy theory.....You are right in Beck's pocket...

[Thisawareness]

@SechyoolarYOOESAY

Generation Investment Management

Founded with former Secretary of the Treasury (under George W Bush) & a former CEO of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson along with Al Fraud Gore

(should have added this creep that is also involved with the Nature Conservancy)

For more info google "Foundation Watch Al Gore's Carbon Crusade"

Its a 7 page report, I'd advise all interested in the financial motivation of Al Fraud &his Corporate flunkie friends to promote & profit from Global Warming

[SechyoolarYOOESAY]

Oh for sure, let me read your 7 page conspiracy theory....sounds like an excellent waste of my time.  You have Beck written all over you.....please don't be a clown

I don't give a fuck if someone took their time to write something that you read and convinced you of their idea. It doesn't mean for one second that you are right in any way or that the idea is right. Pull your conspiracist head out of your FAKE NEWS ass!

[Thisawareness]

@SechyoolarYOOESAY The truth hurts young padwan! LOL

Al Gore & Goldman Sachs

Generation Investment Management's founding partners are studded with officials from Goldman Sachs. They include David Blood, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM); Mark Ferguson, former co-head of GSAM pan-European research; and Peter Harris, who headed GSAM international operations

(Plus former Secretary of the Treasury (under George W Bush) & a former CEO of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson

[hammelby]

Smoking does not cause cancer! Global warming is not manmade! Ha ha, Steve.. Where would you be without your tobacco industry paychecks or your Exxon paycheck... Im just asking!

[hyperseauton]

No one is debating the earth temperature?

This is fascist and denying free speech. Beck is fascist!

[richard200923322]

we all know you'r not so post to through away a CFL hello Genn Needs to shut the hell up and we all know he hates the earth we should ick him off send him to the moon with no o2

cfl's bother his eyes because he's a big ass baby get over it

[JonThm]

The globe started cooling 2005: GW is PR by nuclear power. So fatal and wrong!

[Entropy56]

When I was a boy we would go around town and find long florescent bulbs in trash cans in alleys. We would then proceed to bust every one we could find.

[bcuz909]

GB is right on!! Google search and READ "Compact Fluorescent Bulbs and Mercury: Reality Check" (Popular Mechanics)

And the story about the woman is proof that these bulbs are dangerous. Google search "Energy-saving light bulbs (CFLs) release dangerous amounts of mercury when broken" (Snopes)

Steve Milloy speaks the truth, even though he is partially funded by Exxon Mobil and tobacco companies

[imtheguy05]

"I sweep it up into a little dust bin and bury it in my neighbors back yard cause they're a hippie freak." Did Glenn Beck just say that he wants to murder his neighbor by poisoning them with mercury because they're political views are not the same as his?

[richard200923322]

he needs to go to jail for a long tine

[paulusandronicus]

i like the smell of candles! yeah!!!!!

[RatatRatR]

So these guys don't disagree with environmentalists' assessment of the problems? They just don't like some of the proposed solutions? How long are you supposed to wait, though, before you start trying solutions?

[killerbeau95]

But, we arent causing it? I think I hat Glenn Beck now...Back to Michael Savage.

[bob7399162]

I hat him to.

[richard200923322]

i'm with you on that I do also

[BigMikeLewis]

Thanks Glen and Steve. Get the truth out there about these hazardous bulbs. I haven't switched...unfortunately, my hippie landlord wants us to use them. I refuse.

[Glasya666]

Google this: "pz myers debunks steven milloy".

Milloy is an idiot. End of story.

[tankcore]

Milloy was quoting an environmental website that stated an endorsement for CFLs , but then stated that mercury was extremely harmful, that wasn't a quote from Milloy, he was trying to show they were being hypocrites. Also Milloy isn't saying that there's no such thing as mercury poisoning, he's pointing out there are no decent studies of mercury's long term effects on the body. How this debunks him is puzzling, he's simply showing the gov'ts right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

[richard200923322]

no hes full of shit

[swixican]

where will your money get spent? check out Pelosi's stock portfolio.... I guarantee thats where the money will be appropriated.

[jays2474]

California liberals are the worst.I dont know if it went through,but they are trying to outlaw fire places,and Barbcue grills.These environmentalist's wacko's are nothing more than hypocrites in the highest degree.Not only that,but hidden in the agenda is pure and utter socialism.

[fitypacent]

in 2012, by law, the gov. is going to monopolize the CFLs, starting with the elimination of the 100 watt lightbulb, and then later years for less wattage bulbs. so pretty much, your going to have to have these hazardous lightbulbs in your house eventually.

Glenn Beck is my hero.

[sharkblubber]

that wasn't an interview that was flirtation Oh and a chat about mercury in lightbulbs.

[dougl126]

Come on the mercury in those bulbs is WAy less than the amount coming from coal plants

So we're saving mercury from the coal plants by using less energy.

[BigMikeLewis]

If that was true, even so, I don't have a coal plant in my daughter's bedroom.

[Krawnikal]

Dude are you dumb?

People throw these things out they go out into garbage dumps and they just eventually collect there you fucking moron.

Also why the hell would you want to be exposed to mercury in anyway? You know there's a reason they don't use it in thermometers anymore.

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

oil at $140/barrel ... gasoline at nearly $5/gallon ... the rushie neocons don't have an energy plan because their energy program leader ken lay was caught and convicted at enron manipulating energy stealing billions ... it is all part of their war on the law and science ... so the saudis have raised the price of oil because something must stop the rushies from running the world over with their gas guzzler hummers ... they are destroying the planet because the saudis don't want to die either

[longspurmatt]

lol, you think the saudis give a shit about he planet? They haven't even learned to care for themselves yet. They have an even worse human rights record than Iran. We just don't say anything because they are our suppliers. Time to start drilling for domestic oil America!

[caseybobacey007]

Yeeeeah. Just wanted to apologize for that one comment I left that was sort of ...

Insane Casey.

Sometimes I get a bit worked up over people being asses. And then I turn into an ass myself.

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie neocons won't vote for obama because he is a n.gger ... that's what they said on tv .. but the rushie neocons are evil .. the devil ... liars and mass murderers ... and will tell you that global warming is a joke ... and that the three 911 skyscrapers can fall straight down at free fall speeds due to fire .. and won't tell you that patriot and stinger missiles were in STAND DOWN during the '50, 30, 10 mile, aircraft hits pentagon' countdown .. but fareinheit 911 TWO will be coming out

[ptricky15]

Come on guys. Disregard his harsher and politically incorrect statements and focus on the statistics he uses and the sound logic he uses to explain them. The least anyone can do is respect his willingness to go against the grain and question it.  The scientists were wrong and overreacted about the "global cooling" before... it could not hurt to examine the evidence presented against it.

[caseybobacey007]

ENVIRONMENTALIST NUTJOB HIPPIE FRIENDS.

YOU STUPID FUCK.

WAY TO STEREOTYPE EVERYBODY BASED ON WHAT THEY TAKE ACTION ON.

Fucking CUNT.

[osmaldz]

he was making a joke dumbass

almost everyone in the world makes jokes based on sterotypes

are you really so stupid that you've never noticed that?

blonde jokes, redneck jokes, polish jokes, republican jokes... you seriously never noticed they're all based on stereotypes?

[caseybobacey007]

I know he was trying to joke - but really, calling everybody that is trying to help a "nutjob" was a major turn off.

I didn't realize how angry I got over this... I'm pretty sure I was steamy because of something else that happened. You had a good point about blondes and rednecks but stereotyping people based one what they believe in is different. Blonde jokes are funny. I don't know why. Trying to joke that everybody who believes in global warming must be a weird-ass hippie just isn't.

[osmaldz]

fair enough, but i'm sure blonds would have a diifferent point of view; after all you can change what you believe but you can't stop being polish... and not to rub it in but I really thought the joke was funny...but I understand people get heated when it comes to things they believe in, no helping that, I just wish they'd be more open to other ideas even IF they believe the world's in danger. i mean what if disaterous climate change never occurs but the iron really fucks up our oceans?

[TeensforEarth]

yeah! I think those damn mercury lights are bullshit... I don't see why people can't just find a light that uses less energy but still isn't harmful. It kind of defeats the purpose.

[greenghost2008]

freakin' pot head hippy get a job.lol

[caseybobacey007]

Shut up you stupid hypocritical jerk.

Never smoked pot in my life, never even done a single drug in my life. I'm fucking 15. Get over the fact that there are some normal people who know about the world's problems.

[caseybobacey007]

ENVIRONMENTALIST NUTJOB HIPPIE FRIENDS.

YOU STUPID FUCK.

ANTARCTIC ICE GROWS TO RECORD SIZE

It is now at 16.17 million sq. km.

The old record is 16.03 million sq. km

And the Antarctic is still growing.

In Al Gore's predictions this wasn't supposed to happen.

[transhuman7]

This guy is a clown.

[MagentaTrue]

"We know that the sun was responsible for climate change in the past, and so is clearly going to play the lead role in present and future climate change. And interestingly... solar activity has recently begun a downward cycle. Average global temperatures have dropped slightly over the past seven years."

[lilreddevil600]

That sword cuts both ways, devilsurf. Should we also disqualify the findings of people who are receiving funds from environmental groups? If not, why not? Either he's right or he's wrong no matter his associations. It's typical of the non-thinking to attack the person, rather than the argument.

[bryceronie]

Making money was the problem in global warming ozone depletion, before solving poverty ect. Spending money to save global warming will not work at all.

Society has to change. Shareholders have to change. Wont happen with more money .

[devilsurf]

Steven Milloy, though he denies it, is "in bed" with the oil companies. He has recieved 10s of thousands from exxon, chevron, etc. and is a former lobbyist for the tobacco industry. Checkout the sourcewatch website for the facts on this paid agent of the chemical, tobacco, and oil industries.

[gmakepiece]

Dear devilsurf, Er, well thn I guess that makes Steve Milloy a fool then cos the real money is in pro Global Warming non-research, to the rapidly growing figure of 4 billion dollars.

[kickyerass]

Excellent vid as always Sidewinder!

[knifeman69]

Glenn is glod

[Maxdwolf]

If he had actually read the story through about the broken bulb he would have realized it was about overreaction of beauracracy (provided Bridges' testimony is accurate) than about problems w. the bulbs.

[gerjanp]

That's it all light bulbs and fluorescent lights ar out it's back to bee's wax candles.
