Danish television viewers were in shock today after a scientist suffered a heart attack during a live broadcast.

Henrik Svensmark was taken ill mid-sentence during a global warming debate as part of the Copenhagen climate summit.

The 41-year-old's body violently spasmed as he answered a question on last night's show.


Dr Svensmark, who argues that the sun is responsible for much of the apparent global warming of the last 50 years, is in a stable condition in hospital.

Studies by British scientists have shown that the sun cannot explain the rise in the temperatures since the 1960s.

1. Now if I beleived in God....

[damntexdem]

13. Reasons to believe.

;-)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

23. My thoughts exactly

I Think I'll try that out on the next Bible-thumping climate change denier I meet. He'll probably say it was the devil though...

[robo50]

2. Can Sarah Palin fill in for him? I hear she knows a lot about sunspots.

She can see sunspots from her front porch!!!

3. I already checked - he is a scientific nut job not a religious one

4. I question whether this heart attack is real or not.

It could be just some natural and normal occurrence. You can say I'm skeptical.











In all seriousness, I hope he's okay.

[Richard D]

8. well . . .

. . . easy way to avoid answering embarrassing questions. Or Karma.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

5. I wonder if he denies low cholesterol diets and yearly check-ups? LOL

[tomm2thumbs]

10. I heard he liked to eat fried mayonnaise balls dipped in melted cheese - is that bad?

I guess only if you follow with egg nog and a bacon fat chaser

[Ian David]

6. I doubt he's having a heart attack. Just a natural, cyclic fluctuation in blood flow.

Administering CPR could do more harm than good until further research is done on him.

[pansypoo53219]

16. lol

need a winking smilie. or badadum.

[bertman]

21. Ian David, that is black humor of the HIGHEST ORDER!!

:spray:

[boppers]

24. I suggest several of us PM about keeping Ian David's comments off of DU.

There must be some sort of trick to it.

[Tutankhamun]

7. A heart attack at 41? And he's not even American!

41 is early for even an American to flop over with heart disease!

[Esra Star]

9. 1958 that makes him 51......nt

[Tutankhamun]

11. Yeah, that 41 had to be a mistake. That guy in the pic is way past 41.

[Tutankhamun]

12. I bet pretty soon we'll see a similar story about Dick Cheney.

[newmac]

14. He was also a cholesterol denier

[grantcart]

15. Comments on the youtube link included this one

His last comment was: If I'm lying about global warming, may God strike me down!

[thelordofhell]

17. Best Richard Belzer tribute ever!!

:spank:

[eagertolearn]

18. I've never seen a heart attack look like that. That looked totally fake!

Does anyone know if he had raised cardiac enzymes or if he ended up checking out without a diagnosis?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. Turns out it was his pacemaker.

I didn't know they were that strong.

Must have been set for "stun"

[Holy Moly]

19. I believe...

I have faith that God Almighty tried to smite this blaspheming non-believer down... but failed. sob

[niceypoo]

20. Its not nice to fool mother nature

[bertman]

22. RULE #1 when stating anti-global warming arguments: Never end with "I'm serious as a heart attack"

[John Kerry VonErich]

26. In a word.......

OMEN!!!!!

[Pamela Troy]

27. Thank goodness he's okay.

God, it's depressing to read threads like this.
