Aasif Mandvi freezes in New York, Sam Bee feels the heat in Australia, and Jason Jones reports on the darkness everywhere.
[The global "warming" segment starts at about the 3:30 mark and runs just over 4 minutes.  I don't think that Stewart actually believes that trace amounts of CO2 are the primary driver of this planet's climate.]

A bombastic foe of the Greens, and of the notion of global warming in general, Morano is a former spokesman for James Inhofe, the Republican senator for Oklahoma. His truculent Web site is a bustling, one-stop-shop for climate skeptics.

EU Referendum: An independent inquiry?

"The incident," it continues, "saw an anonymous hacker steal 160MB of data from the UEA server (including more than 1,000 emails and 3,000 other documents) and leak it online."

So, even while a police inquiry continues, with every possibility that this was an inside job, we have a supposedly independent inquiry which makes assumptions which prejudice the outcome of another inquiry – and shows its own bias into the bargain.

We see this specifically, for example, in the debate over global warming, which a year ago was accepted as gospel.

Let's Put This Meme to Rest: Global Warming ≠ Al Gore : TreeHugger

If figuring out what's really going on was the true goal, the so-called skeptics would be discussing the science (and not just repeating sound-bytes about it). But since that's hard and there's an overwhelming scientific consensus, it's much easier to reframe this as "Al Gore's thing" since people who don't like Al Gore will be strongly predisposed to also dislike his ideas (which in itself isn't very rational -- if someone you don't like says the sky is blue, that doesn't make it yellow, and a good idea should still be a good wherever it comes from).
