Crazies on the Skeptic Side

Yeah, there are some. Just take this Hannity bozo. According to him, there hasn't been ANY global warming at all - this despite the fact that the satellite data has clearly shown an approximately .3 degree Celsius rise since the late 1970s. Yes, we can definitely debate the causes of the warming, and we should, but to totally deny its existence is an embarrassment. I, as a skeptic myself, want absolutely nothing to do with this idiot (who apparently doesn't think much of gay people, either, I'm told).

Is this satire? According to this figure you gave, if you round to the nearest degree, there is no global warming.

I now believe Hannity is competing with GB for Looniest of the Loony mantra.

The far right continues its search for the edge. Entertaining comedy. Yes?

That's a fair point, dmarks, in that if you figure in the error bar you'd probably lose all significance. That, and most of that .3 degree Celsius rise took place from 1975 to 1998 and it has basically flatlined since (this despite the fact that man-made CO2 emissions have risen by over 28%).............I agree, Les. Hannity (along of course with Rush Limbaugh) is probably the worst of the worst on that side of the ledger. At least Ann Coulter can be funny.

I tried to listen to Hannity on the radio, and the show is nothing but slogans like "Stop [fill in name here] Express" and for some reason the phrase "Sweet Baby" is heard constantly. Maybe it is a sponsor deal for the BBQ sauce? he pronounces the word "all" with at least two syllables when only one will do. There seems to be a surplus of illiterate female callers who seem to be eating their phones as they talk into them. And these call segments always contain interminable conversations about him giving the screaming women's kids free iPads.

I stopped watching his TV show years ago, when Colmes left.

Him and Mark Levin calling each other, "great Americans", is getting a tad stale, too.

I cant watch or listen to more then two minutes of Hannity....he grates on me.I'll tell you who else is hard on the ears....Laura Ingrham....I realize she's got a law degree...clerked on the court,adopted three kids and beat breast cancer....but,she never shuts up and talks over her guests.

I always remember the time hate-filled hot-head Howard Dean blew his stack on national TV. For no good reason, he shed 65 million years of evolution and bellowed like a dinosaur. He shed his campaign, too, as a result.

(Imagine Dean in closed door negotiations with Putin or the Red Chinese dictator of the moment: "Mr Chairman? Know what I think about the arms to Syria? BYEAAHHHHHHH!!!!!")

I first heard about it on the Don Imus show, where Ingraham was a guest. She did the pterodactyl scream constantly, really loud, into the mic. I wondered why she was doing this. It was explained eventually.

Yeah, I liked the program when it was Hannity and Colmes as well. I turn Hannity on late night if I'm having trouble falling asleep.

He's a "great American", Les. And if you don't believe me, just ask him.
