Bill O'Reilly: Global warming is here

[oratadin]

This ..was odd...I think the audio and video was manipulated. It's unbelievable that this guy would say something as sane as that.

[Bullpuma]

FIVE REASONS TO WORRY ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER/ ILLUMINATI

presidential directive 51 is identical to hitler's directive 51

W199I proves bush protected al queda when CIA members tried to stop them.

Agenda 21 is the perfect blueprint for the illuminati/NWO

43 presidents(including obama)are directly descended from King John" Lackland" Plantagenet of England

Codex Alimentarius if/when implemented will kill off 90% of the population.

GLOBAL WARMING IS ALIGNED WITH MALIGN INTENT OF POPULATION CONTROL

[Patriot2572]

Bill O'reilly illuminati stooge being exposed.

Break out of this left/right paradigm people.

Global warming is a fraud.

[gvsfgdf]

Oh My Fucking God O____O he said something SANE

[jalbroven91]

@acavideo lol good one

[unimportstickperson]

If you look into the culmulative data, the majority of climate scientists who are actively doing research and interpreting data at present believe that climate change is real and that it is human caused. Look at Naomi Oreskes' detailed analysis of 928 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, with the stated goal of determining whether the media and large scientific corporations might be downplaying a significant body of legitimate dissenting opinions against the validity of global warming.

[drlovebutton]

Global warming = pseudo-science propaganda. Ask any real climatologist or historian, they will all tell you the same. During the medieval period there was a large exposure to sun spots much to what is going on now. HOWEVER, we are still well within the safe amount. This also ties into the speculation of 2012 and how a massive sun spot is going to burn the earth. All of which is false and propaganda. Its a tax hike scheme and should be denied. Look up Spörer's law to find the facts.

[heatbucspies55]

It's funny, like half of the O'Reilly vids I watch have somebody going "Wow, this is the first thing I've agreed with Bill on"

Maybe if people actually watched him a lot instead of just listening to what people have to say about him, or watching biased vids, they'd realize he's not as bad as people make him out to be.

[SuperSmache]

What a surprise! I now have a hint of respect for him. Nice to know he looked at some facts unlike other people who just say they did.

[LordBifford]

Here, he believes in global warming. Today, he says it's bull. Now that he's noticed American people believe less in global warming, he changes his standing.

[Unclesamslair]

@LordBifford he's a showman doing this for ratings just the same as a politician

[SensFan2002]

@LordBifford I totally agree with you. Bill is full of hot air.

[glenwoodfin]

Now that ClimateGate has been uncovered. Bill should retract his misinformed statement.

[OpheliaImmortal]

Haha yes, because a handful of scientists downplaying evidence that the vast majority of scientists disagree with shows the whole basis of facts is off. Fuck off with that idiocy. That's like saying some toys from china were contiminated with lead, therefore ALL TOYS EVERYWHERE are contaminated as well.

[Patriot2572]

Bill O'Reilly is a new world order shill. No surprise he's on the global warming bangwagon

[lelouchlibritannia]

wow, the one word of wisdom that has come out of this arrogant pig's mouth. But seriously though, he still is a complete idiot.

[knocksvillee]

Goto the journal of Nature and Type in "sunspots climate" in the search engine and look at the PEER REVIEWED MATERIAL. It is not favorable to climate change deniers and i highly encourage all to exercise true scientific skepticism. There's a reason for the peer review process. This is so that you know these guys arent just spitting a buncha crap at you, above your head, that cannot pass the review of independent experts and colleagues.

[knocksvillee]

I think its interesting that a recent PEW poll found that 96% of scientists accept that the earth is warming. And 87% say it is primarily due to man-made causes. In fact, 92% of scientists say that Global Warming is a serious problem! Wake the hell up and read a peer-reviewed scientific journal and not the rantings of some quack with tired disproven tales of sunspots and such that cant even get his articles past peer review.

[knocksvillee]

How can bill oreilley reconcile belief that global warming is natureal with his belief that "the government needs to be proactive about it"? What can the government do about natural global warming?

[Runesocesius]

I just gained respect for Bill O'reilly. He never stroke me as a guy who believes in Global warming.

[thespkshow]

He explained this the other day.

"Anyone to say the Earth isn't heating is stupid and needs a thermometer. It's getting hotter. But, the real issue is- is it caused by humans?"

As he later said, no. Scientists are reporting increased activity in the sun, and temperatures go up before man-emitted CO2 does. So, he really believes in 'global warming' as opposed to 'Global Warming.'

Same with me.

[Runesocesius]

In that case, i lost all the gained respect.

[thespkshow]

You shouldn't base you respect for the man on his opinion on a controversial issue. Whether global warming has been caused by humans or not is unknown; not proven either way of the isle. You should like the man if you think he's real, if he's a 'good guy.' I respect him, although I don't always agree with him. Just like I respect the President even though I believe he's doing everything wrong.

[Runesocesius]

I think he is a jerkoff. I never said i based my entire opinion on wether he believes in Global warming or not. What i did say was that i lost the little respect that i would have gained if he had a different view on the subject.

And while there is not absolute proof. The vast majority supports the theory of human caused global warming.

[thespkshow]

Not even the vast majority of scientists believe in man-made global warming. Sure, there are a lot of people that think its actually happening but not a "vast majority." Plus, you shouldn't be rude to Mr. O'Reilly and call him names. Although I may think Hillary Clinton is dumb as well I wouldn't call her a name. If you are going to disagree with the man do it politely.

[OpheliaImmortal]

Roughly 87% isn't a vast majority? What do you consider a vast majority, then?

[BeHereNow21]

YOU, are rediculous.

Has he read the science himself!?!

Nope.

That says enough.

[pauliewalnuts100]

Well done Bill. Kinda unexpected

[jazzmessenger8]

it's about time

[oreolvrs1987]

okay who is this man and what has he done with the real bill o reilly

[jroy375]

This is actually the first sane comment to ever come out of this man's mouth.

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie neocons are sooo much like killers charlie manson and jefferie dahmer that i confuse the three ... the Russians are evacuating their arctic research station because the ice has melted ... and argentina's largest Perito Moreno glacier is collapsing during mid-winter ... but the rushies say that more oil and drilling is needed and say to bring 'em on ... diabolical ... the neocons spend $400M+ for show biz talk shows to dupe the dopes .. but they had to knock off russert

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie neocons are sooo much like killers charlie manson and jefferie dahmer that i confuse the three ... take the rising expectations of the world of the g8 summit ... the climate is changing .. north pole will soon be completely melted .. south pole and glaciers all over the world melting like crazy .. indigenous animals dying by the hundred of thousands .. as usual .. our fuehrer is preventing any meaningful any decisive action ... writing off millions of the planet's inhabitants .. again

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie neocons are sooo much like killers charlie manson and jefferie dahmer that i confuse the three ... they are sooooo intentionally out of touch ... one is making $400M ... the guy is being paid to dupe the dopes ... and there are soooo many ... for instance ... how many times did he tell you about honda .... never ... instead he told you to buy that suv on the driveway with the empty gas tank ... but honda has a mkt cap of $120B while gm is worth $10B and may go bankrupt next year

[parulkarg]

oh wow, did all the anti GW maniacs hear this ? Their GOD is telling its real

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the auto maker that is doing well is honda ... it makes the highest gasoline mileage of any car maker ... and it doesn't even have a v-8 engine ... it never has had one ... never needed it ... the rushie neocons continue to say that honda is not any good because you need a big v-8 engine to keep up with traffic ... especially on the freeways ... but as usual ... they are wrong, wrong, wrong ... and they have never driven a honda ... they need to use 200 gigabarrels of oil each year

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the first ice free north pole ... the jeffery dahmer ... i mean the rushie neocons killers are celebrating ... because they know that the poor, helpless, defenseless, unaware animals will be dying by the hundred thousands per day ... they scoff at animals and lower life forms ... if you were to help the animal and ocean fish to survive global warming ... and jeffery will tell you that you are taking away their freedom ... that doing any for them would be a transfer of wealth ... a bad thing

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

North Pole Could be Ice-Free This Summer ... much more than just a new northwest passage eh .. and beating the best, fastest time by four years .. north pole ice is a gonner .. and hey ... most drinking water comes from ice ... and how much longer before the south pole the melt eh ... but the rushie neocons will tell you that global warming is a joke ... that you should laugh every time you hear about it ... but i heard last night that so much ice is melting that the oceans are changing

[MeoTwist]

Can't believe even Bill has been taken in by the great global warming swindle

[darkling9109]

Global warming is here huh? I guess that's why most of the US is getting a record snow year.  Fascinating, ass hat.

[AXinthevoid]

Global Warming is happening, whether you "believe" it or not. It isn't multiple choice. What we want to know is whether or not it is by natural processes or us. So far, all observable data suggests we are contributing more to it than any natural means.

In some regions of places in the world there are considerable differences in temp. and rainfall or snow, but if you look at the overall temperature in global conext it has gone up about 3-4% which may not sound like much, but in fact is alot.

[erichopkins1973]

Give the Man Credit

As much as it pains me to say this - we need to be grateful to people like Bill O'Reilly for saying this stuff. He does it in such a plain, straight-forward way - I wish people on the left could be that concise.

Think of the implications of what he said during that 10 seconds. Try getting that out of a democrat running for president.

So for today - and for today only - hats off to you Mr. Reilly. We appreciate the help.

[Bodhi510]

It's funny that all the politician and pundets all the sudden believe in "global warming". What gives? Bribery? Get paid enough and your views change all the while the global warming alarmist myth is scientificly falling apart as we are speaking.

[terrymadison]

Ya, finally - after years and years of scientific data was hammered into O'Reilly year after year. O'Reilly is the guy who shamelessly claimed "The war in Ireq is going to be a cakewalk", all the while touting himself as a former "history" teacher. He also claimed he was going to "fight to the end" a sexual harassment suit file by producer Andrea Mackris - until he found out that her attornies had AUDIO TAPE of him. Bill O'Reilly = Unfair, imbalanced and unashamed of his spinning spin zone.

[WhyDidYouDeleteME]

proactive. what.the.fuck is proactive bill. i wanna know.

[tammajamma]

Proactive is a word that describes action, as apposed to making a documentary that is only 60% fact, placing blame, and jumping into your jet to tell the world that America is responsible for ruining the earth. I guess we can be thankful for carbon offsets, if someone can explain how that reverses anything,

[InfoJunkieHolland]

I know what proactive is I just HATE the word...

And yeah, Al Gore winning the Nobel peace prize... *sigh* Where is this going man... Nobel rolls in his grave.

[realnoid]

Ruppert Murdoch, he of the right wing media empire, owner of Fox News(Fake News)and the WSJ(soon to be)

announced that he believes that global warming is real and that he was going to

reduce News Corps pollution footprint to as close to zero as possible. Many large

RM is saying A. there is global warming.

B. That it is man made. Comment from Fox News? 'Well, thats one persons opinion.'

We have to realize that Fox has a higher calling...propping up the RNC and the

sinking ship that is Bush.

[elbethere]

Mr o'reilly, although I've dissagreed with you in the past, I must say this... Thankyou. And let me ad that in an ideal society the option would be open to blast all of the global warming deniers/holicost deniars/sudo scientists twared the sun in a cheaply constructed rocket.

[terrymadison]

Bill O'Reilly deserves no credit for waiting after years of scientific data was hammered into him to admit we've LONG had a problem. As a "former history teacher" he shamelessly claimed "The war in Ireq is going to be a cakewalk". Madness. He also claimed he was "gonna fight to the end" a sexual harassment suit file by producer Andrea Mackris-until he found out she had AUDIO TAPE of him. Bill O'Reilly = Unfair, imbalanced and unashamed of his spinning in the mostly spin zone.

[33LB]

o'reilly looks like a complete idiot in his interview with richard dawkins, but at least he isn't stupid enough to deny climate change.

[Duckenheimer]

Yeah I don't think it was certain 15 years ago, whatever caused it. And you're right. But there's a movement of people behind every political belief that will believe shit they don't know - conservative, liberal, who remain apologists for anything their side says. I'm just a little tired of partisanship. I liked an Inconvenient truth, but there was something fishy about the lack of numbers beside those charts to say the least!

[viktorshithead]

Agreed, although this is a movement of the more extreme kind, even more extreme than the general anti-American movement and anti-Iraq war movement. I haven't gotten a chance to see An Inconvenient Truth yet, but I'm already fed up with the politics of it. I'm just waiting for Al to announce he's running, very, very soon.

[Duckenheimer]

I don't see what's extreme about general concern (even if misplaced) on an illegal war and believing that global warming was caused by people (hence my point that global warming was predicted before major changes occured because of our behaviour). Sure politicians are going to use them.

[viktorshithead]

No matter what the opinion, it should always be justified. I've only met a very small number of people who can actually back up their opinions on Iraq, which is messed up and sad.

[Duckenheimer]

I've met people who could back their opinions up before the war. Nowadays most of them have changed their minds. "At the time it seemed reasonable, but I realised I was wrong" is what I and most of my friends think. I supported the war. Now I find it indefensible. (However what to do now is much more complicated than what the dems want to do).

[viktorshithead]

Yeah, I more or less find myself in that same opinion, but so what? That was four years ago. What should be discussed now is what should be done now. I wish dems would lose the wish to do the whole "I told you so" thing.

[Duckenheimer]

I agree. However the "I told you so" thing isn't irrelevant I think. It wasn't just a mistake, it was an illegal action of incomparable depth based on not just propaganda but lies. Bush will one day see a trial I believe.

[Salato]

Good job O'Reilly, at least he's being responsible and sensible.

[qazwas2001]

I can't believe I just saw him admit that. What kind of right wing talking head admits to believing in global warming?

[calvinjones]

Lets hope that we can act together on this...if it is atlast becoming a non-partisan issue. Competing left/right wing policies to address a serious known threat, now that would be a sensible debate.

[viktorshithead]

nobody's saying it isn't here, it's just that there has been very week evidence on what's causing it

[Duckenheimer]

15 years ago Republicans (and I have nothing against the right, I am fairly conservative) Denied it exists, when scientists said our activities would cause it. Now that it's being caused, by SOMETHING, the same people deny its us. Something smells.

[viktorshithead]

We kept our same position, and that's suspicious? I don't get it. Anyway, 30 years ago Earth First warned of global cooling and said that the next ice age was imminent. Something definitely smells there. I'm just largely critical when huge masses of people all believe in the same theory, and don't even know why. That's just really bad. I wish there was a debate. I'm not saying it's NOT us who are causing it - I don't know, I'm not a scientist. I wish more people would agree.

[Duckenheimer]

Going from denying something that observation of human behaviour predicts will happen, to it happening and then denying it was human behaviour, is not the same position.

Global warming could trigger a new ice age. If the gulf stream stops (I'm not sure if that's very likely) Europe at least is going to get very cold.

[jefrodad]

go educate yourself and stop relying on the media to do it for you. If you can't do that, then park your car in the sun with your windows up on an 80+ degree day and fall asleep. You will experience the green house affect firsthand and we would have one less idiot.

[33LB]

the global cooling thing never had any significant scientific support and only received temporary media attention. global warming, on the other hand, is confirmed as a fact by the national scientific academies of every major industrialised nation.

[viktorshithead]

The global warming thing also has no significant scientific support, in terms of proof (but definitely in terms of how many "scientists", journalists, and various demagogues use the theory to their advantage to bring down capitalism. The problem is, once public support reaches a certain limit, it is there to stay. No government could possibly deny it.

[33LB]

do you seriously think that almost every scientist is a deceiving, left-wing communist?

[viktorshithead]

Lol no, but they have very poor salaries and receive funding largely for studying things and making statements about things in such a way so that sponsors will be happy. It all started with Margaret Thatcher who wanted to abolish everything but nuclear power, and thus funded scientists in a way so that results would be manipulated to show that nuclear power was the only way to save the Earth. It has been going on like that since.

[33LB]

so the governments of the uk, france, germany, japan, italy, the united states, canada, etc. are ALL paying their national science academies to preach global warming as a fact, to bring down capitalism? why would all those governments want to bring down capitalism?

if it was all about sponsorship, then wouldn't the big pro-capitalist businesses with loads of money have the most influence on scientific organisations? in that case, scientists should be denying global warming.

[viktorshithead]

No no, look up an economic effect known as DSIR/Demand-Side Increasing Returns. I think Bush and all the other capitalist folk would love to see the theory crushed, but they can no longer support that view because it is extremely unpopular.

[33LB]

the reason why that view is unpopular is because there are so many scientific organisations asserting that global warming is a fact. if the government is so manipulative of scientists as you suggest, then they could just use those scientists to deny global warming, then the general population wouldn't care about it anymore and it would no longer be unpopular to deny global warming.

[viktorshithead]

Right, and that was possible until a few months ago when the huge massive onslaught of whacky Democrats, hippies, and the UN finally go their way and had their very own propaganda movie coming out of Hollywood! Man, the good old days ended like last year

[33LB]

people are hardly going to believe 1 movie over an overwhelming majority of right-wing manipulated scientists.

[viktorshithead]

lol, right, well read up on the whole thing, I'm sure you'll agree with me, after all, it is a HUGE trend and you can't deny it

[33LB]

i think you're the one who needs to read up on it. the good thing about science is that if you disagree with something, you're free to go and check the evidence for yourself. if you still disagree with global warming after doing so, then you can write to the countless scientific organisations who accept global warming and enlighten them.

[viktorshithead]

Yeah, I would, and if you want to confront me on a specific point, feel free to do so. Otherwise there's plenty of other sources for you to go to. I'm not a scientist but I know a little bit.

[33LB]

Other sources? oh, you mean that tiny fraction of fringe scientists who also think gloabl warming is a communist conspiracy?

[viktorshithead]

sure

[robinUC]

wow hell just froze over
