What Rush Limbaugh said on the radio Monday about Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, presidential wannabe: “Look, Brownback is out there on the wrong side of the anti-war resolution. He’s doing some things here that have me scratching my head. He’s not a thoroughbred conservative, like I think he once was.”

The human role in climate change is no longer debatable, U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said today, and he defended the president’s policy of addressing the issue without mandatory greenhouse gas limits.
Bodman and other Bush administration officials were responding to a United Nations panel that concluded it is more than 90 percent certain the Earth is warming because of carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels. The group’s report, released today in Paris, predicted rising sea levels, increased storms and more droughts and floods.
“Human activity is contributing to changes in the Earth’s climate,” Bodman said at a press conference in Washington. “That issue is no longer up for debate.”

So is this bastion of the “responsiblity party” going to take responsiblity for calling global warming “junk science” for the past fifteen years?
Is he going to say, “you tree-hugging libs were right all along and I was very, very wrong”?
Yeah . . . right . . .
And how’s come George W. is still a conservative “thoroughbred” even though he caved in to science and rationality on the serious threat of global climate change?
Rush, thy name is hypocrisy.
Don’t you mean “climate change”? I’m pretty sure that’s the new buzzword.
Mankind responsible? Bah!

Oh my
I KNEW Rush was a boob.
Look at his tie!!
And is that a pocket DRAWN on his jacket?
What a buffoon!
Still Brownstain better not get crossways of him. The ditto heads will turn on him.
Brownback is trying to be more reasonable.(read as NOT conservative)
I prefer to listen to drug-free radio.
Brownback aka Brownnose. He’ll say whatever it takes to get ahead.
And, dang, Rush is looking old! He’s aged right along with the pretzeldent. Too much stress?
Brownback must not be paying his Rush dues and everybody knows that Rush Limbaugh is all about lining his pockets with as much money as he can from his dittoheads.
Did any of you get to see Stephen Colbert’s ‘the word’ segment last night?
I think it’s fitting here.
I can’t link to video, can someone else find it?
All these reich-wingers posting all around us, and not a single one can explain why “climate change” was junk science from 2001 to 2007 and now it’s a serious problem that needs to be addressed, and it’s no longer even debatable.
So, who’s wrong–W. or Limbaugh?
Still is junk science. Read my posting. Check the link.
Rats desertion of a sunken ship…?
It’s freezing in parts of the Nation. No school because it’s so cold. That’s a real shocker.
That is cold! I heard it was -30 degrees F in Minnesota and that didn’t include the windchill.
Hopefully spring gets here soon.
“That issue is no longer up for debate.”
Hmmm…
Whenever you say stuff like this and still say you are being scientific…
Well, nevermind.
Rush Limbaugh
Charges: It’s hard to believe this repulsive shit fountain is even human, until you remember that we share 70% of our DNA with pigs. Then again, to be any more hypocritical Rush would actually have to be a member of another species. After the Democrats took congress in November, Limbaugh said he felt “liberated” because “I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don’t think deserve having their water carried,” essentially telling his listeners he’d been lying to them all year. The dittoheads didn’t mind; that’s why they listen.
Exhibit A: If someone had taken a shotgun and blown Rush’s head clean off while he was wobbling his bloated body back and forth in an inconceivably cruel mockery of Michael J. Fox, whom he accused of faking his Parkinson’s symptoms for political effect, it would have been the greatest viral video of them all.
Sentence: Parkinson’s disease, of course, triggered by oxycontin abuse.
What’s the big deal? What Rush said is correct.On the other hand, who cares? He’s a radio talk show host.No more, no less.
We all know that Rush is a paid shill for the GOP, so this must be the early stages of an effort to discredit Brownback in hopes that he will drop out early. GOP strategists know that the longer a religious wacko and generally creepy person like Brownback is on the campaign trail and associated with the Republicans in such a high profile race, the more damage he will do to the real candidates chance to become President. Most of the country is fed up with the rapture right and if the GOP allows Sam to infect the campaign with his theocratic rantings, they know that they will lose.
“We all know that Rush is a paid shill for the GOP,…”
Yeah, right. Bush lied, people died. Cheney is directing money to Haliburton.Lib credibility = zero
I am still amazed at the right wingers that try to debunk the fact of man made global warming by trying to compare WEATHER to CLIMATE.
Yada, yada, yada, I got three inches of global warming in my driveway, yada, yada, yada!!!
Morons.
“Governor Plans To Fire Oregon Climatologist for Skeptical View of Warming…”
This is how the Libs do it.
CapnYou are misreading the UN report.The full report makes clear that this is a complicated issue, and that other factors are involved.The full report also corrects some previous predictions.Committee reports are always subject to the bias of the person who writes the report.That is why it is necessary to read the full report, with all hedges and clarifications and corrections, not the synopsis.
By the way, Kyoto was voted DOWN by the vast majority of Democrats last time it came up! I believe that George Will made that point in a recent editorial.Will also makes the point that, while man might contribute to warming, there are other factors.
You have not met the burden of proof Cosmos.You have not proven, beyond all doubt, that the Earth is warming.You have not, then, met the burden of proof that man is causing warming any warming.You have then not met the burden of proving that man can stop any warming that might be happening.You have not then met the burden of proof that the “medicine” is not worse than the “disease” if politicians require measures to address any warming.
Drastic measures will kill people Cosmo. Our economy feeds the world. Our economy depends on carbon emissions. I have no problem with research and alternatives because I don’t like sending money to the Mid East. However, mandatory controls will continue to fail politically. You lefties will never get what you want, because your Machinists and UAW and other Union members fully understand that mandatory carbon caps will cost jobs.
As for me?I think things are getting a little warmer in some areas, a little colder in other areas.
Since the sourse of allmost all heat on Earth is the sun, I tend to think the source of any temperature changes is the sun.
When the house is to cold or too hot, I tend to check the central air before I check the window insulation. I tend to “go to the source” first, before checking minor details.
Use a little logic Cosmo.And re-read George Will. Will is NOT proposing drastic measures to address climate change!

“You have not proven, beyond all doubt, that the Earth is warming.”
So, Paul, because science cannot prove BEYOND ALL DOUBT, that global warming is man made, then we don’t need to do anything about it.
Then, ten or twenty years from now, when it is too late to do anything about it, those of you on the Right will???????
Apolgize?
Take swimming lessons?
Volunteer to become polar bear food?
What are you going to do if the scientists are correct about global warming, AFTER it is too late to do anything about it?
Sorry for the repeats, not intentional.
“Our economy depends on carbon emissions.”
Our?
econ 101 Paul F Rosell?
Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
YOUR economy depends on carbon emissions.
Econ/Paul should footnote his posts with the disclaimer that he is a trader in oil and gas leases and other fossil fuel fiscal interests.
I’ll just do that for him here and every time he posts if necessary.
WSScientists have bias, like anyone else.In court rooms today, you have “experts” from both sides giving forensic or medical or other “facts” and expert opinion.
The jury then decides which scientists, which experts, provided the soundest evidence when reaching a verdict. The jury will have to reject one side’s experts, won’t they? This is not a rejection of science, this is how the system is supposed to work.
The public, here, is the jury. You have every right to present your case. I have every right to poke holes in your case.
Once upon a time, science subjected itself to “peer review”Once upon a time, scientific research started with a hypothosis and openly asked for facts that would disprove that hypothosis.
No longer.
Now, the totalitarian left strips funding and tries to fire anyone who disagrees with their prophecy.
Science is not a set of facts, science is a method of arriving at truth.
True scientists should never be threatened by honest arguement.
You lefties have bastardized the whole process.
Sorry if your President is flip flopping like a beached flounder on you, Nathan.
I grant you that keeping all their inconsistent spin straight is a full time job.
Here’s what Bush’s man said recently. Read it and weep.
“The human role in climate change is no longer debatable, U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said today . . .
“Bodman and other Bush administration officials were responding to a United Nations panel that concluded it is more than 90 percent certain the Earth is warming because of carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels. The group’s report, released today in Paris, predicted rising sea levels, increased storms and more droughts and floods.
‘Human activity is contributing to changes in the Earth’s climate,’ Bodman said at a press conference in Washington. ‘That issue is no longer up for debate.’
As for Paul Bonehead Econ, he remains as irrelevant as ever.
Just admit you were completely wrong and get over it.
It won’t be the last time, I assure you . . .
“You lefties have bastardized the whole process.”
You didn’t answer the question, Paul.
What are you going to do if they are RIGHT and it is too late to do anything about it?
WS and Capn
Guess what?Even if Kyoto (voted down by Democrats) was enforced upon every country in the world, it would have very little effect on the climate!
In other words, you want us to sacrifice our way of life, hurt the economy, kill people who depend on the charity provided by the US economy, and all of that for neglible benefit?
Use your own projections from your own side.Show me that anything you propose will have more positive than negative effect.
Smart Democrats will stop the global warming proposals this time, just like last time it came up. This is mostly junk science. Your own party rejected Kyoto, and evidence against your position has grown since then.
