In fact, he is so bad (and Steve, I know you were not promoting him) I am suspicious Headline News has him on to make conservatives look stupid. I could be wrong on this.

BTW if Beck did want to dispute that earths recorded warming pattern 1998 is wrong, he has a right to do so. He could take the NASA and climate studies and make his case and instead he focused on an email from an "activist" and never made a case. He has every right to challenge NASA--if I was going to go on TV and challenge NASA I would do a little homework first and have some arguement and data not an attack on anonymous email he claims was an "activist'. He was trying to frame it as only nuts believe the earth has warmed since 1998 and in truth it is NASA whose records are used by the IPCC on global temperatures.
Well, thanks for the conversation. I will keep reading and keep an open mind.
