Tom Borelli Joins TYT for an Embarrassing Interview

[JoeyBryant1980]

this is really funny watching clips like this after climate gate and how the peer review studies really weren't peer review.

[nfdmw]

Did Cenk just tell him to shutup? I'll admit it even though I wouldn't endorse those tactics I kind of admit this side of him on his Current Show sometimes...

[Kefkasious]

Embarrassing is right, I love TYT but damn Cenk should be.

[jcott15]

Cenk was so abusive in the old days...

[krishnatheid]

What do you mean protective layer? Ozone layer? You seriously think that global warming is caused by the hole in the ozone layer?? Cenk you are as ignorant (if not more) as the guy you are bashing. Doesn't matter you are no longer an "young turk".

[MagnesDrachen13]

Sometimes you just have to call a fool a fool. Global Warming is real, humans caused it. It's only a controversial issue to ignorant people who refuse to believe that facts are true. They asked him about proof. He didn't have it. Period. Debate comes with two sides. When one side makes a claim but has no evidence, it's not a debate, it's an example in human ignorance.

[SUPPLEANDFIRM]

@MagnesDrachen13 Hello, Professor, the facts that you are aware of are: scientists say global warming is true.

[MagnesDrachen13]

Besides all the other facts, figures, and studies out there by numerous scientists all over the world, BESIDES ALL THAT, he just wants the evidence laid out and discussed. See? It's that simple. In kind, I want to have a debate on why the sky is orange. I'm going to completely disregard all evidence that currently exists that says the sky isn't orange, and then demand you show me evidence that says the sky isn't orange.

[nijjaboi]

Cenk, Global Warming is something we(non-scientists) don't know a thing about. All we know is what they tell us. I am dissapointed that this was an opportunity to have a good debate to enlighten us on this issue but you went bill o'reilly all over his ass and kept shutting him up. I think your an intelligent man, Cenk but this was really low from you

[THISPAKIMISS]

As much as I love you Turks, I found this interview demeaning on your part. Borelli was calm and showed respect throughout the whole interview, whereas Cenk kept bashing him, laughing at him, and even told him to "shut up". Could you have been any ruder, Cenk? Perhaps you should have also told him to fuck himself.

[rinka777778]

"I don't have them right in front of me" Ah yes, it's amazing how during a debate concerning issues such as evolution, global warming etc, that these "studies" are not made available.  Classic repub answer. That and "I forget the name of the study" or "I forget the University which conducted the study" CLASSIC.

[wetbak987174]

Cenk u need a show on tv to stop the ignorance the right wing conservarives are saying u need to shut my teacher up hes jst like glen beck plz i want u to go to my school and debate him cus seriously he is brain washing so many people

[JakeBuehler]

"The Young Turks" doesn't seem to understand the issues here - they invite the guy on so they can mock him - there's all sorts of dancing around various unrelated subjects... If the question is "Is mankind causing the Earth to warm?" ...There are SERIOUS scientific concerns about the validity of this statement. I don't think TYT cares.

[ThinkTink606432]

@JakeBuehler The man should have knowen he was going to have to prove his case. These people say the craziest things on these interviews but never have any facts to back it up. Like the guy that claimed that areas with specfically black people are more violent then any other.

[JMSmith801]

This Tom Borelli is behind a new smear campaign against Michael Mann (Penn State). Such a dishonest person.

[tempelton]

The scientific consensus on cancer treatments is dodgy too - it's a conspiracy!

Don't trust science (at least not when it hurts your wallet to do so!)

[justice787]

DAAAAAAM! they got that dude. He couldnt even name the college he claims couldnt graduate if they didnt watch AlGores movie, thats emmbrassing futhermore he has no facts on his websites, then says he doesnt! thats bad very bad I was laughing when he went silent when they asked him about what collage it was

[junebugmcwilliam1]

Well, The emails that were hacked from that university in England shows that you are really two young turds!

[Serpico261]

@junebugmcwilliam1

why dont u study global warming for yourself and come with an opinion that has substance. i knwo about the hacked emails in England, so what? I dont think all studies must go the same direction...does this makes sense?

[dhatraditya]

We need more people like Cenk in the mass media to take care of these loons.

[dsrvu]

i don't know why people argue about global warming being man-made or natural. It doesn't matter. Even if it is natural, we still need to do something about it. Don't you think ? Or we can just wait so that we get extinct naturally and then the process starts over again naturally (evolution) or jesus-made.

[IcedPhoenix666]

Why not Thor made?

[CmdrTobs]

I think the young Turks are great, I am a scientist (my day job) and the evidence is 100% for Global Climate change. Though its NOT 100% certain its man made.

[chewbaca1989]

$windle, yup, you bet.

You'd have t start out with a hypothesis and then disprove all the possible contributors to "global warming".

That did not happen, and the United Nations is a tool of the IMG and World Bank.

They would manage Cap and Trade internationally for a $FEE$.

HELLO?

[livardo]

Cenk, I love your show man, but you gotta chill a bit with these interviews. Let's have a bit more civilized discourse. To borrow your saying, you're at a 10 and we need you to be at a 5. Don't lower yourself to the level of the scumbags.

[Th3xUnkn0wn]

not trying to "nit-pick" or anything, but it's "you're at a 10, when you need to be at a 2".

just saying...

[david3188col]

damn give these guys a show already.

[DigitalCamera0123]

Cenk your kicking his ass, ur ruthless, seriously don't kick the guy while he is already down, he obviously doesn't even know what he is talking about :P

[janb6969]

TYT has good intentions but they just parrot shit and act all smug about it. i'd like to hear just one original thought from those dudes.

[ClimbingDane]

Cenk makes a mistake in the the of this clip. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect caused by CO2.

The holes in the ozone has nothing to do with GW. The ozonelayer protect us from some the uv-rays from the sun.

It's a commen mistake that people make

[janb6969]

what about the hole in my ass, what does that cause?

[normalamerican]

Cenk is a wannabe commentator. he really sux.

[livardo]

you really suck

[bacondoesabodygood]

"Global Warming is caused by the sun" thats the base of his argument.

Jesus-tapdancing-christ....

[jon3m2007]

Interviewer _ WOT A FUCK WIT!

[totylee]

Wow...and I thought Epstein and Mr. European who hates Whoopi Goldberg were retarded.....

[devourerofbabies]

Holy shit. I hope they ended this interview shortly after this video ends.  It's embarassing to Cenk just to talk to this guy for too long.

[L0uiseM]

Cenk!!! Ugh I can't believe you told this guy to shut up!! That is just terrible, just because he lacks any facts and information doesn't mean you can pull a Bill O on him.

[realbluemeanie]

I agree. Cenk was being a bit of a twat.

[Heny4563]

Don't turn into bill oreily TYT! Your doing an excellent job. I'm talking about when you said "shut up" I understand how excited you can get but it should be easy to stomp on the guy with facts, just dont stoop low to rub it in his face b/c you might lose respect or future interviews! Keep it up!

[yassroa]

I can't agree more.

[allahisonlygod]

who's tom borrelli?? who the fuck is this?

[911Jesus9111]

poor retard

[khennyo]

According to University of Penn professor Bob Giegengack, global warming is not even one of the top 10 environmental problems we face. 

At the present rate of sea-level rise, it will take 3500 years to get to the point that Al Gore envisions .

[AmishMarine1]

So obviously we should just ignore it!

[GstateBALLER925]

god what a moron. he goes on a radio show to discuss and debate global warming and he cant even supply quotes, facts, or texts to prove his theory... so he says go watch a movie about it. lol that definitely is an embarrassment.

[tim10o0o0]

tyt was the embarrassment. If you pour billions of tons of chemicals into the atmosphere something is gna happen. We have changed the composition of the environment, so its not gna function the same is it

[Causa10bserver]

Lol, amusing one guys. Instead of interviewing an obscure, retarded conspiracy theorist regarding the manmade global warming hoax why not talk to one of the intelligent skeptics like Iain Murray. Or if you're afraid of real debate about the science of the issue talk to Bjorn Lomborg about the lack of effectiveness and insanely high costs of the inane environmental proposals on the table right now. talking to this dweeb is like shooting fish in a barrel. Of course that was likely your intention.

[j01tz0r]

So I guess instead of trying to do something before it's too late, we should do nothing instead, right?

[Absintheist]

Whats wrong with these both-sides-of-the-debate people ?

Why is everyone who uses that phrase always full of shit ?

Global Warming,

Evolution,

whats next ?

[mohammadmurtaza]

I am a liberal, but Cenk didn't give this clown a chance to voice his opinion.

[badger5079]

Well - it seems apt to paraphrase Coulter's book title "How to talk to a Repugnicunt - if you must."

[mohammadmurtaza]

hahaha!

[simonmanzer]

Hey i agree this guy was a nutjob who came on your show and you totally embarressed him but i do think you where a bit hard with the shutup part... but he was a dillwad... still lets be more civilized please cenk.. i frickin love your show guys.

[Indubitably14]

He needed to shut up REALLY bad, he had zero facts, zero knowledge on the subject, and was constantly changing the focus of the conversation.

[beteck123]

Cenk,please we dont need another Bill O'reily.Please dont shut-up ppl u invite on to your show.Unless of course you are expecting a job offer from FOX.

[Steni97]

Anthropogenic Global Warming is nothing more than a scam that gets "scientists" grant money and makes idiots like Al Gore (who struggled for a C in college science classes) wealthy.

[QueenOfTheMaggots]

For those who think global warming is a myth,

oil and gas are still finite resources. We still need renewable and efficient energy for the future.

[Steni97]

I am one of those who thinks anthropogenic warming is a myth and we must always be sure to communicate which we mean. No doubt, the climate experiences both warming and cooling periods. The question is whether or not it is anthropogenic. The certainty with which you claim that oil is finite leads one to believe that all the science that suggests otherwise does not count? It could very well be abiotic. I am not sure at this point which is correct or perhaps both theories are correct.

[Beskrock]

I'm so sick of these Limousine riding Liberals talking about global warming. STOP RIDING YOUR GAS GUZZLING LIMOS! These people ride their Limos looking to take our guns away. They'll probably use those guns 4 late term abortions. PERFORMED IN THE BACKS OF LIMOS! Even if Global Warming is real and threatens the earth, all we need is a Nucular Winter to set things right.

[bcforn64]

calm down dude, I'd say I'd like what you 're smoking...but maybe not. I can't remember the last time I saw a limo drive down the road. I am often cut off by Hummers on the highway though. Many with Bush '04 stickers still on their cars.

[rakrobn]

Wow, conservatives really are stupid. Associating the environment to abortions. Only a right-winger.

[Beskrock]

Hey rakrobn, go to your Welfare line with that crap. This way you can spend my money while you talk your Liberal talking points.

I'll take a war hero over a man who's only a presidential candidate just cause he's black and he was running against a broad.

[rakrobn]

So you believe the environment and abortions have something to do with each other. Then you are a right wing nutjob. What does welfare have anything to do with it dumbass? Don't have actual points to debate so you can only scream welfare? A war hero my ass. Of course you'd take the person who graduated 5th from the bottom of his class. No wonder he was shot down, so it's only fitting an idiot like you pick another idiot.

[badger5079]

The U.S. doesn't need John Rambo for president - and they already had Forrest Gump.

[Causa10bserver]

Leave Jimmy Carter out of it. He was a nice and caring man. Just because he wasn't bright enough to be president doesn't make him a Forrest Gump!

[badger5079]

George W Bush = Forrest Gump.

[Causa10bserver]

Sigh.

[badger5079]

Obama=King David

[gunns246810]

Fact: Mainstream scientist say CO2 is the leading cause of of global warming.

Fact: CO2 is heavier then air, therefore is not found in high amounts high in the atmosphere Thus cannot be causeing a greenhouse" effect.

Fact: humans exhale more co2 in one day then Exxonmobile puts out in one year.

Fact: methane has more of a greenhouse effect then co2

Fact: Co2 is essential for almost all life on earth

[gunns246810]

FACT: Global warming is a distraction from what is really happening.... Mass genocide of all animals...They tell us that we are messing up the planet so that we feel bad for ourselves/ live in fear of "what ifs." They do it so that we obey in spending money in areas were they want the money to go instead of preserving habitats and protecting wildlife.

[georgep922]

I think the kids these days would say "Pwned"

[BreachDK]

That Global Warming are Human made is faith. NOT fact!

[underlinedbluetext]

"i dont have a list infront of me"

[gattling1980]

what an idiot

[mok2000]

It's quite simple. Demand facts and they will fold. They can only give Lalaland gossip in Rhode Island...

Global Warming is not faith, it's a fact.

[sonisisuper]

"hold on, Tom shut up"

Who tells a caller (a guest no less) to shut up on

a radio show? Total pure raw unmitigated OWNAGE! That was awesome.

[DralionProductions]

I just wanted to say that you really "Schooled" this guy, and what a listener found out today only made this guy out to be a bigger tool:)

[comicsggk]

Quite a few people who refute global warming are also the funimentalist christians who also are against animal rights and environmental protection. All because they think that Christ will make his return and kick off the rapture. Even if you're a believer in god leaving the world in poor condition for future generations, long after individuals currently alive are deceased. It goes against common sense really.

[oldhacks]

al gore can't save you now

[DblOSmith]

The one thing that irritates me about the global warming 'debate', is that whether it's real or not, it's a big reason for positive environmental change. For anyone who thinks it's not important, go to LA and take a deep breath. After you've finished choking tell me with a straight face it's not important to curb particulate emissions from cars and refineries.

[DblOSmith]

It did seem like an attack, but they are arguing against and moderating/moving on the debate at the same time. Not to mention this is a 4 minute debate and not an hour long CBS special. Tom is an ass hat. He couldn't bring one fact to the table. A fact doesn't need money to be known. Gravity doesn't take campaign contributions to spread the word that it's blue. Give me a break.

[DblOSmith]

The sky doesn't take contributions, I mean... sorry, heh

[Behemoth418]

TYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[donttreez]

ouch!

[fccctorres]

just to conclude, even if everyone is right and in fact global warming is true as they say, this is no way to treat someone with whom you disagree, they didnt even listened to the guy he was quite all the time while they were attacking him, its ridiculous and i really didnt liked it

[garylambrightshs]

FCC,

Before you call someone an idiot you really should spell check your posts, because you really sound absurd questioning others intellect with so many typos. More importantly, I could show you a DVD that makes Hitler look like a saint and another DVD that "proves" the Bears won the superbowl last year. I think I will go with the 900 scientific peer reviews.

[fccctorres]

first i didnt call anyone a idiot, and about the typos, english is not my primary language hence im not worried about that, and second i'll tell you the same i told the other guy, before you judge go and watch "the great global warming swindle" ,and then come back at me, global warming is happening but its not man made its a natural event, they want you to think its happening and your just being rolled right in, not doubting anything that they tell you, thats real smart yeah!!

[fccctorres]

and the young turks didnt even gave a man a chance and that is so wrong when you're a person that has this sort of power of comunication, its like fox and bill o'reily, and i thought that they were differente up until this point, cause they seem smart people when they discuss politics and whatever, but this was very wrong, and if this is for you shining you're just in to all the wrong things mate the world is very different than what you think

[georgep922]

Its moments like this that make TYT really shine.

There is something really wrong with people like Tom Borelli.

The truth is there are two types of people against stopping global warming. Those with short term financial interests and those are so religiously fanatical that they cant wait for our sinful earth to be destroyed so their second coming or whatever can start.

Find me someone else with another motivation and we will have a debate.

[fccctorres]

there's also a third kind, those who know its a lie, im not religious and i have no financial interest in tryng to refute the global warming theory, go watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle" on google video and then come back at me, i used to believe it was real, but you just need to add up, its all a lie, yes the earth is warming up but it has nothing to do with CO2

[fccctorres]

the young turks disapoint me on this one.. global warming IS A LIE, and they're attitude was a FOX-LIKE attitude, they didnt even give the guy a chance to explain himself, they're intention was to humiliate him from the beginning, im un-subscriving to the young turks right now, this was shit, the young turks should get they're facts straight and watch "Global Warming Sindle" its all explained there, i thought this guys were intelligent this guys suck ass

[georgep922]

Really, boo hoo. You are a liar, tell me at what point you were with the Young Turks on any ideological level.

Only the most extremist conservatives and end of world christians share your view.

[garylambrightshs]

I am sorry, you are correct, you didn't use the word "idiot", you said "i thought this guys were intelligent this guys suck ass" referring to the Young Turks. You are questioning their intellegence while butchering the English language, but its not your first language so we will leave it at that.

[garylambrightshs]

About this holy video you keep begging people to watch, its simply propaganda. The video has a handful of scientist, at least one of which was lied to about the purpose of the video, who claim global warming is not man made. On the other side you have the rest of the scientific community, 900 scientific peer reviewed studies, and the Academies of Science of the major industrialized countries. You go ahead and ignore them and put you faith and trust in you 60 minute propaganda piece.

[fccctorres]

i will put my faith and trust in those guys because they refute the global warming theory with facts, its as simple as that, its not propaganda its true scientific knowledge, and i bet my life that you havent read one single page of those 900 reports, you're just blindly following whatever they told you to follow

[garylambrightshs]

Dude you got me, I haven't read any of the 900 peer reviews. Now do you know why I haven't read them? Because I am not a scientist and I am willing to bet my life either are you. But you have seen a 60 minute video which I guess makes you an expert.

[garylambrightshs]

Well, I don't think you are an expert, I think you are just blindly following what you think were facts spouted by some "scientist" on a video. If you are so sure of your video do me a favor, go to the website realclimate and look up the article about your vid. It refutes all the B.S. from your new gospel, and then write back.

[Tylonous]

Um. "Global Warming Swindle" has been proven to be a lie itself. They make up facts in the movie and the movie itself is a big swindle.

[themightylex]

WTF?!? Who was that clown? He was pathetic The Young Turks didn't even have to get into a strong debate with that fool. He had NOTHING! Why does a person have a site calle demanddebate, but comes to a debate with NOTHING! that was unf'ckingbelievable. TYT ROCK!

[iloveenid]

I can't begin to describe how awesome this is. The whole show was awesome today.

[bachrub]

I bet he knows lots of Creation Scientists who tell him it was Dino's farts on the ark. I don't know what's more pathetic, him or the people who believe this rubbish.

[gohoda]

lol... someone got pawnd!
