I hope Trebek denies globalwarming. I would hate to think that he's fallen into the celebrity parrot category. I think people are mad at him because he doesn't have to go to 'stop global warming' rallies to find unbathed women of weak moral fortitude with whom to have fleeting uncommited relations.

@theblackmanOyeah AGREED! I sometimes wonder why more people are not interested in body language and micro expressions. They really are an excellent way to tell how full of shit a person is! =D

man-made global warming is not a hoax, it's a scheme, and a nasty one at that. Fuck al gore, and his global warming lackies.

Most of you commentators should actually read what climate scientists say.

First of all, Climate is NOT WEATHER. Snow in winter doesn't mean everything is fine. Global warming refers to the global average temperature. Yes the earth warms and cools in cycles but those changes are supposed to take centuries to millenia, not decades. The composition of the atmosphere can not be radically altered with out consequence.

@beastboyd77 The earth has warmed and cooled throughout its life cycle naturally, when we WEREN'T around. If indeed the earth is warming, it is not due to our influence. Al Gore should stop consuming ten times the energy of the average citizen if he wants people to believe his bullshit claim. Its just a power play, to give democratic-socialist politicians a chance to finally slip the collar of socialism around our neck while we are too busy calculating our carbon footprint.

when she said, global warming is happening, look how fidgety she got.. very nervous. then she let out a big sigh, and averted her eyes away, a sign of stress. as if so say, "phew, he left it alone..."

[theblackmanOyeah]

really, don't be so gullible. unless you think having "green police" searching your home unwarranted, checking for "problems," and sending you the bill, is a good idea

this girl even sounded unconvinced herself. but, would she speak on it? no... how dare she lose her pay and actually tell the truth?

[theblackmanOyeah]

anyone who is dumb enough to actually BELIEVE in global warming, is dumb enough to get suckered into paying a global carbon tax to corrupt politicians who will directly benefit from it. it's as big a fraud as any.

@beastboyd77 well you don't explain your bullshit thesis

how, bitch, fucko?

[beastboyd77]

@concussedcarneous Sir, or ma'am, you're looking at this completely wrong, Global Warming is a relative term, scientists arent saying that the earth has gotten to a a constant temp of ninety-five, with zero percent humidity, just that the temperature has gotten way too hot for places where it should be cold when its winter. and thats killing the planet. You ignoramus
