Global Warming Special Not So Hot

The Cool Aid "blockbuster" sunday night on global warming has been labeled a disaster.

Viewing numbers peaked at 618,000, and averaged just 464,000 people across the entire country.

Says Beverly McGarvey, head of Ten's network programming:
"Truthfully, we're confused... They didn't come. It's not like they came to the show, sampled it and went away. They didn't come."

"We had study guides in schools, we had the full support of the print media, both editorially and with advertising, and an extensive [Ten Network] on-air campaign with a number of different creative treatments and different stances."
They didn't come. How about that. As a result, they haven't--lemming like--made a mad rush over the global warming cliff. Just because Ms. McGarvey and her closed circle of highly educated specialists believed their own hype and gobbled up their own propaganda doesn't mean the public has.

Good grief, listen to this woman: "We had study guides in schools, we had the full support of the print media." Study guides in what? Amercan schools? Now that's a joke... the only things of importance in American schools are iPod downloads, the bestest cellphone, dress styles, and the latest hot-off-the-press versions of courses in womens rights, racial pride and self-esteem.

Full support of the print media? That's a lot like saying thay had full support of the flat-earthers.

There has been more than enough data to show that this global warming event is part of a normal and often repeated cycle caused by our sun. It's happened before, it's happening now, and it will happen again. We need to adjust, just like life on this planet has had to adjust in the past.

It may be a glimmer of reality, a slight awakening for these global warming alarmists, that Al Gore style "the sky is falling" disaster warnings about global warming are nothing more than hype, and not believed by the general public--not because the general public is stupid--but because they have listened to both sides and have made up their own minds.

"Global warming": A scam by any other name.

If you melt it, they will come...

Riiiiight.
I was an Environmental Studies major in college. (I have since repented).

Wish college gave refunds.

As much as I enjoy their stuff, the fact that Art Bell and Whitley Streiber were championing this Global Catastrophe stuff should have been a clue.

I spent five years at the University of Washington, not as a student, but as an employee, three of those years as a supervisor of one of the research labs in the Medical Research Unit of the universities hospital.

It was a fabulous opportunity to watch young minds being bent and twisted by professors who used their classrooms as training centers for prue unadultered socialism.

These insidious creeps have spent years perfecting their technique and message. They are so well dug into the system that, IMHO, about the only way to counter them today is to ride them out of town on a rail--tarred and feathered--with in invitation in their pocket not to return... ever.

Many of these "professors" are in fact the ones who give our daughters Herpes and a multitude of other STD's. They are there to prey on young female adults who enter college thinking they are on complete charge of themselves and their lives.

It was sad to watch, but very dangerous to comment on. One could lose their job in a heartbesat.
