Beck's "Climate of Fear"

10 May 07

CNN shock jock Glenn Beck's "Climate of Fear" special was a miserable failure in the cable ratings.

It most likely tanked because it played host to the usual global warming denier gang, using the same laundry list of global warming denial talking points.

See below for the youtube version of Beck's denier-a-minute special broken into six parts -- and check out the research we have compiled on some of the better known global warming dinosaurs Beck features.

Beck's "Climate of Fear" crashes and burns

8 May 07

Is it scientifically valid to attribute one instance of total failure by the global warming denier campaign to an emerging long-term global trend of failures by the global warming denier campaign? 

Last week's Glenn Beck denier-a-minute special on climate change "alarmism" was a complete flop. The evening ratings are out and it shows Beck dead last in total viewers in the 7pm time slot. CNN can't be too happy, considering there was a considerable amount of hype-dollars invested in this attack on science.

I guess Tim Ball isn't the media darling the US think tank s have been making him out to be.

Does Glenn Beck really believe what he says?

2 May 07

CNN shock jock, Glenn Beck will take to the airwaves tonight with what our friends at Media Matters are calling an "Hour Long Global Warming Smear-Fest."

Beck has long been critical of Al Gore and frequently tows the global warming denial line. But does Beck really mean what he says?

Or is he just the latest in a string of shock-hosts willing to shirk minor details like the overwhelming scientific evidence for human-caused global warming?

After all it was Beck who stated: "Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however."
