Please pardon the television commercials. The story starts at 2:20.

Join award-winning conservation biologist Dr Reese Halter on December 28, 2010 as MSNBC Countdown anchor Sam Seder asks about global warming and the epic New York City snowfalls, the UK record-breaking freezing temperatures and the effects of hundreds of thousands of square miles of missing Arctic sea ice.

1. "The STROOOONG front of ignorance sweeping up from down South...."

"And keep in mind, on their best day you're looking at 60-65% stupidity levels down there."

:rofl:

So true!

4. Sam is precious on the weather report.

I'd also like just the weather report seg to send around. But a BIG thanks and Happy New Year.

6. I am working on that

I contacted Sam this morning about that and probably will not hear back until after the new year.

5. "And keep in mind, on their best day you're looking at 60-65% stupidity levels down there."

I'd say it's even worse in the West (KS, OK, AZ, AK)

And the "expert" comes across as kooky and lame. The open freezer door analogy is not convincing and no mention of more CO2 and rising temps means the atmosphere can hold more water vapor so you get bigger storms, summer and winter.

2. If it were not for the commercials at the front end I'd consider cross posting this on a mainstream

forum.

Yeah, "the wave of stupid coming up from the energy producing states" was a funny line and made the hassle of the commercials worth the effort. Thanks!

:kick: and rec

3. The strong front of ignorance.....

are those that read only the titles of books, headlines of news articles, and listen to Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh - they see the word "warming" in the term global warming and base their knowledge on that. Even the words 'Global warming causes climate change' doesn't even peak their interest to find out more? Maybe ignorance IS bliss.

7. Right wing propaganda intentionally spreads the ignorance -- and...

until actual reporting on Global Warming can get thru, citizens will be

kept in the stupid zone because that's where elites want them --

they surely don't want citizens figuring out that their exploitation of

nature has created Global Warming -- or that Global Warming is going to

destroy their ability to live on this planet -

NOR do they want citizens to get the idea that someone should be held accountable

for this loss of nature and our planet!!
