Pat Robertson: Global warming is a scam because there are no SUVs on Jupiter

(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 it’s getting cold,” Robertson said, riffing off the title of Al Gore’s climate change documentary. “And some parts of America are colder than Mars! Why? We’ve 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.


“There’s just one problem,” he said. “The Earth isn’t getting warmer. In fact, it’s because of the Sun. The Sun is now showing signs that we’re headed for something very, very different: global cooling.”

And off course, progressives always want control:
- 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.

Look...the man knows everything, OK?

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.

Do you have the millions that he has from bilking those who are IQ challenged?

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.

This man is an expert on scams and scamming people.

It has been his life's work.

He is oblivious to the truth.

Just kidding, of course. He really wouldn't recognize a scam unless he was the one plotting it.
