Ratigan of MSNBC Destroys Glenn Beck on Climate Change

[Rodney92]

The world temperature has gone up 1.3 degrees in the last hundred years. It has taken thousands and thousands of years for this kind of swing in temperatures. Look it up. Climate change is real.

[91dodgespiritrt]

GLENN BECK is hated because he was kicking liberal progressive asses on a nightly basis on his TV show. GO GLENN!

[Gades117]

Thank you MSNBC Never sell out please!

[MsHamidian]

There is very few Rhatigan, Ratigan, O'Raticans out there. So glad one with a show. Must be DNA in play when questioning ones of the media or of power. Thank you for being similar and value facts.

According to the BBC (June 22, 2010):

"Some 98% of climate scientists that publish research on the subject support the view that human activities are warming the planet, a study suggests."

Glenn Beck - the guy dropped out of college in the 1st semester. How dumb do you have to be to achieve that?

Glenn thinks his knowledge of climate change is superior to climate experts with PhDs.

So I guess that from now on, we should just ask Beck all of the science questions that we have.

[w9j15g]

And I bet that Beck had nothing to say about global warming this summer when record high temperatures we being set all over the eastern United States.

[lazyboy2oo6]

Glenn beck is just a person given a prime time show that makes their audience dumber and also brainwashes them.

[luketurd]

Beck drew a dick! HAHAHAHAHA!

[drumtilludrop610]

looks like bill has been smokin some serious crack

[drumtilludrop610]

this guy is retarded, you cant take a 10 sec clip of beck and call him retarded. becks points in that episode are complex and it builds. this guy is a freakin retard. Pwnd? really? he doesnt pawn anyone

[Andrewrb010]

Regardless of how long Becks sound bite is, his argument that "because it's cold out, and snowy, Global Warming is fake" Doesn't seem very complex to me.

It might be cold as hell in America but guess what... Its hot as shit in Australia... Weird huh? Localized weather patterns, say like snow in Colorado in late March doesn't mean the ENTIRE globe is cold and snowing. With almost 2 degrees temp rise the world climate becomes more unstable, leading to erratic and unpredictable weather patterns...

[drumtilludrop610]

@Andrewrb010 granted, thats not his entire argument...global warming scientists are beginning to drop off because of recent evidence that makes this whole theory look dumb. there is a global temp rise, ok. but there is more to the story

[Andrewrb010]

@drumtilludrop610

Tons more to the story... As in Billions of tons of added carbon dioxide to the carbon cycle. I have no respect for scientist who claim to be experts yet purposefully flub data in order to get there papers published... But I have a lot less respect for talking heads who haven't studied a damn thing yet claim to know the "truth" behind the leftwing conspiracy of climate change... It wasn't left wing in the 1890's when this stuff was first theorized.

[Andrewrb010]

you seem somewhat more reasonable than most on who don't think very much of climate change, but to denigrate an entire field of study because some in it at least didn't due their due diligence in cross referencing their papers, and at worst flat out manipulated data is wrong. Very few scientists have "dropped off" but if you ask Glenn Beck he'd say there all elitist anyways, after all they are called experts Science is inexact and only time can truly prove it. It's ever changing and fluid.

[w9j15g]

@drumtilludrop610 No, Beck makes stupid points. He is scientifically illiterate. Today on his radio show he said that evolution isn't real because there are no half-monkeys/half-humans around (himself excluded).

[RickTorn]

Madigan Destroys Glenn Beck? Where did that stupid headline come from? Glenn is poking fun at the very thing that Ratigan says he agrees with. Does Ratigan understand humor? Ratigan seems especially arrogant and pompous for someone whose National audience will fit in a phone booth.

[beerslinger32]

Love at the very beginig how this is exactley what scientest said would happen, and a mere 20 seconds later I'm not saying it's global warming? Just like the left. Say one thing mean the opposite and vote for their first idea.

[AtlasObjectivist]

LMAO - Who is this Raigan? Honestly, never heard of this guy. What a total loon!

[gregbythesea]

Glenn Beck: A big dick drawind a big dick on a chalkboard.

[topcat42]

Oh I get it now, the more SNOW we get, the more proof of Global Warming! LMAO what a hoot these loons are on MSNBC.

[GoodAvatar]

You know, I don't really see this as being PWND!!!

You know, I don't think that Glenn Beck is right about everything, but I do feel that he has some valid points from time to time. It does bear noting that he's just a commentator who get's passionate about his work.

So why the intense hatred against him? Very strange to me.

[SocialistLiberal]

I don't know.....maybe because he's a far-right uneducated partisan hack pretending to know more then climatologists who spend their entire lives researching data while Uncle Glenn spends his time misinforming his mindless drones.

[GoodAvatar]

@SocialistLiberal Really? He doesn't strike me as being very right at all. He strikes me as being much more anarchist than Republican.

And I disagree with your opinion about his education and intelligence. He IS a fearmonger and a demagogue against the current political environment, but I think that's a perfectly healthy thing, something we could have used during Bush. Besides, haven't you heard? There's a debate about human caused climate change.

[SocialistLiberal]

"He doesn't strike me as being very right at all" You gotta be kidding me!

Beck masquerades as a non-partisan libertarian/independent but his agenda couldn't be more right wing. He's an anti-government neocon to the point of inciting divisive hate, secession, and revolution while excessively ranting on the 1st and 2nd amendments as if Obama has a plot to take them both away from you!

Not rightwing?! There isn't a propagandist out there that is more rightwing then Beck!

[GoodAvatar]

You do know that neoconservative and anti-government are contradictory, right? The anti-government thing I agree with, you couldn't be more right. I don't view that as a bad thing. I also fail to see how he incites hate and revolution in the sense that you're probably talking about. He picks on Progressives more than anything, and rightly so. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree discussing this with you. We'll probably devolve into Socialism is Bad and No, it's Misunderstood before too long.

[GoodAvatar]

@SocialistLiberal "He's an anti-government neocon"

I'm still amused that this comment has stuck up on this youtube comment.

The two are mutually exclusive political ideals.

[MrCoolCoder562]

@GoodAvatar so where was beck during Bush?

[GoodAvatar]

@MrCoolCoder562 Damn good question and ultimately the reason I don't fully trust him. He should have spoken out against Bush and I'm pretty sure he did. Probably nowhere even CLOSE to the rhetoric he uses these days. Like I said earlier, I really do feel that he's a demogogue and a fearmonger. I don't think those are necessarily BAD things, just something we need to be aware of. It should be noted that he represents an increasingly growing and upset populace and should probably be listened to.

[Lodatzor]

@GoodAvatar

"There's a debate about human caused climate change"

Not among the scientific community. It's a fact, same as evolution. The only attacks against it comes from people who are ignorant of what the science actually says.

Or, who have a vested monetary interest in ignoring the science and fabricating a debate on it, such as Fox News and Big Oil.

Any clearer?

[dooivid]

@SocialistLiberal lol props to you buddy, good video, I hadn't even heard of this Ratigan guy before.

[Gades117]

@GoodAvatar Cause he makes people stupider and we want to have people that are intelligent in this nation so we can have progress.
