Global warming, my sine function!I am not a fan of Glenn Beck and have never been a fan. His show is a juvenile presentation that is only mildly entertaining from time to time (i.e., when he was talking about Van Jones every day last summer). Nevertheless, Beck has lots of followers despite the fact his actions continually betray the interests of those same followers. Hopefully, people will wake up to the fact that Beck represents the "neo-con" agenda, but couches himself up as a libertarian/constitutionalist.
For example, Beck has previously argued against the man-made global warming position supported by Al Gore, but it now appears that Beck supports these global warming theories.
He believes in global warming
“You’d be an idiot not to notice the temperature change,” he says. He also says there’s a legit case that global warming has, at least in part, been caused by mankind. He has tried to do his part by buying a home with a “green” design and using energy-saving products. “I’m willing to do anything but use the CFLs,” he says of compact fluorescent light bulbs. “I put them in once and couldn’t stand the way they lit up the room.”
I would imagine that a majority of Glenn Beck's followers/listeners disagree with the Al Gore theory on global warming, so he is basically calling his audience idiots. And CFLs are not environmentally friendly, because the CFL bulbs contain mercury. If one drops and breaks a CFL bulb, there is a likely potential of mercury vapor contamination whereas one only has to worry about shattered glass with old school light bulbs breaking, and not deadly mercury.
Whenever I hear people discussing the planet's climate, I never hear them discussing the impact that the big ol' Sun has on the climate. The Sun's actions and reactions have much more of an effect on planetary climate than some dude driving an old school Cutlass. or a cow farting in Wyoming. Unfortunately, it seems that people are ready to line up and pay the global carbon tax for the right to live and breathe.
