What I just saw on 20/20 on ABC

Oct. 19, 2007

The globe is warming, it's our fault and the consequences are going to be terrible. So goes the rhetoric spouted by politicians, celebrities and the media.

It's hard to turn on the TV or open a newspaper these days without hearing about the horrors caused by our warming climate. We can expect more floods, droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes as global warming continues, and pretty soon we'll have to flee from the coasts as the polar ice caps melt and our shorelines flood.

Children are frightened, too. I spoke to a group of kids who said they worry about their future on our planet. One girl feared that water might rise near her house in Rockaway, N.Y., "and it might flood the whole town."

1. What a complete crock this show was. I never watch ABC and I sure won't
begin now. What's with Stossel - he looks so thin I hardly knew him.

pandering to the rightwing market.

5. This is the same John Stossel who thinks Michael Milkin, junk bond king,
did more for people than Mother Teresa.

6. I don't think we DU'ers should "Knock" John Stossel. I know John...
...and although he has a sign on his butt that says "Pay as you enter" he does the best that he can...


:spank:

10. I saw Stossel on Fox news last night and he was running his mouth
about Al Gore and what a liar Gore is on global warming.

18. I picture him up to his chin in water ...
his high, grating, whiney voice: Aren't we just SCARING ourselves silly with this global warming nonsense? Shouldn't we just go on polluting as much as we want to? After all, that's worked for us for decades... *GLUB* *bubbles* *silence*

12. The obvious question never asked of this prick is
What is your experience and expertise in Global Warming, Economics, and on? I guess it is off to do a internet search, because everytime I see this guy I wonder what makes him a qualified speaker on the issue.

15. We've lost 23% of the North Pole in the last two years, I heard. If...
that's true, things are even worse than I've read.

That's 23% lost ice at the cap since Gore's movie came out.

Calgon, take me away. :-(
