CNBC Interview Sheryl Crow & Laurie David on Global Warming

The debate over global warming seems far from over, as evidenced by the dozens of viewer emails that poured in after CNBC's Joe Kernen's interview with singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow and "An Inconvenient Truth" producer Laurie David.

During the Tuesday morning interview, Kernen cited scientific findings from a U.K. documentary, "The Great Global Warming Swindle," to challenge Crow and David's view that climate change is caused by humans. The segment generated a surprisingly enormous response from viewers.

I can see how some people are dumb enough to believe Al Gore when he starts trying to spread the lie. But, how in the world do we have people dumb enough to listen to such dingbats?

[jfd5289]

I believe that global warming is largely political propaganda. Period.

Where's the video showing Sheryl Crow using one sheet of paper to wipe her ass?

In the interest of the higher good of green paranoia, please show us. And don't substitute porno actresses.

The effect of CO2 on warming is not linear, it drops off sharply above 300 ppm. Double it and the effect is still negligible. Thought everyone knew that simple scientific fact. NO MATTER WHAT, scientists lie when exposed to fundings. i.e. 97% of them. But who needs them anyway. Any good weatherman knows more about the climate than all those college educated eggheads who get their reality from computers. Big Oil wants you to believe peaking, keeps the price up. And keeps Greenpreach in the green.

People in third world cultures are dying of malaria because of Green-heads like Crow and David putting pressure on Congress to ban certain chemicals that were used to combat these diseases. The outbreak of bed bugs stems from banning of DDT...these witches are trying to exterminate humanity with their stupidity and lack of statistics



[atifchaves]

People have tio listen to the words these women use carefully "social change starts on college campuses" and "college kids...we need them" "the debate is over!"...their recruiting for some sort of Green army because they view humans as specimens that must be corrected (Hitler and Mussolini were into Green and organics..that led to racial cleansing)

[TheCristiBlack]

These Woman? They just spout corporate media crap?! Al Gore isn't invested in making money out of a carbon tax? yeah and my donkey can fly...

[fireofenergy]

NO MATTER what scientists exaggerated their findings

NO MATTER why politicians lie

CO2 is STILL an infrared absorber!

Sheish, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. So ALL you silly deniers out there, please quit trying to ban the truth just because you are all afraid of the boogy man.

Besides (I'm going to use somewhat faulty logic, but hey, it works on youtube!) who has more money to influence you with? A few scientists or the major oil and coal companies?

It would take about 1,000,000 sq miles to power 10 billion at the western standard if SOLAR replaced EVERYTHING. You may say "conserve or make less babies" but still, that puts a limit to growth. I want my kids to be able to colonize the stars!

Therefore, we need to GO ALL OUT for the...

liquid fluoride thorium reactor !!!

It can fission spent fuel which means "Yucca" should never even be used!

Unlimited energy, half life 1000 X faster than todays wastes and 90X more efficient! Search it :)

[matt75hooper]

"The debate is over". lol What debate ? AlGore wont dare debate his nonsense. The founder of THE WEATHER CHANNEL & 20K Scientists are prepared to debate all comers on the topic of man made global warming . Where is AlGore ? Hiding behind mommy's apron. Wants nothing to do with debate. Earth = 4.5 billion years old. Man's machines = 150 years old. You do the Math.

[juscurious]

Sherly Crow is an incredibly stupid person, as is Laurie David. How can you explain warming and cooling cycles that occurred before man. Was that caused by Man? How can people be that stupid? Science does proceed on consensus. For every scientist who believes in AGW, there is another who doesn't. I cannot believe we are at a point where we have clowns like this on what is considered a serious show. I'll give up my car when Sheryl and Laurie give up theirs.

3:13 -- This producer of an environmental documentary doesn't even know what the IPCC is!!!!! Fucking clueless.
