(His logic is inescapable)
Televangelist Pat Robertson pointed to the cold U.S. weather on Tuesday and the fact that there were no SUVs driving around in Jupiter to assert that global warming was a scam created by scientists.
The inconvenient truth is its getting cold, Robertson said, riffing off the title of Al Gores climate change documentary. And some parts of America are colder than Mars! Why? Weve got a special story today about how come we could very well be entering another little ice age.
Later in the show, the TV preacher laughed and noted that the Russian-flagged ship Akademik Shokalskiy had been stuck in ice near Antarctica while trying to research global warming.
Theres just one problem, he said. The Earth isnt getting warmer. In fact, its because of the Sun. The Sun is now showing signs that were headed for something very, very different: global cooling.

- They want to control what a company can and cannot do with its money and the health of its workers.
- They want to control whether you can harrass a specific kind of people.
- They want to control whether the government can legislate about the ways specific body-parts of a specific kind of people may or may not be used.
- They want to control how much garbage and waste you produce and where it may be deposited.

What he doesn't know, god does and Pat has a direct line to god.
So just leave Pat alone.
I mean, just look at the sport coat. Pat knows fashion too, just to prove a point.

Yeah, he's dumb as a fox. His real idea of heaven is based on "Those who die with the most toys, win." And he has lots and lots of toys.
