Chris Christie's Mixed Message - WSJ.com
Those words are likely to dampen the enthusiasm of some grassroots conservatives. A lot of Americans remain highly suspicious of "consensus" in a community of scientists whose careers are linked to man-made climate fears. Mr. Christie's statement will also raise obvious questions about what "policies" he does support. Wasteful government subsidies for renewables? Federal mandates that require the use of those renewables? None of these positions sits well with free-market conservatives, either. New Jersey is a heavily green state, and Mr. Christie might have felt he needed cover for such a controversial decision. Then again, his supporters have come to admire him precisely because he doesn't usually run for cover.
There Is No Economic Recovery (But Only Fox News Kooks Know It)
[Rush Limbaugh] Here's the next one. Did you know that Fox News viewers, most misinformed of all news consumers "are 30 points more likely to say that scientists dispute global warming."? That is a fact. It is a fact that there are scientists who dispute global warming. We have one on this program, our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer, used to work at NASA, University Alabama, Huntsville. Pat Michaels. They're all over the place, folks. There are many scientists, more than ever. In fact, global warming, manmade global warming has pretty much been buried now. It's been established as a mankind hoax, but yet in a hit piece on Roger Ailes in Rolling Stone, the kooks are Fox News viewers who are likely to say that scientists dispute global warming. Apparently to this guy at Rolling Stone and Rolling Stone readers, there's a hundred percent agreement that manmade global warming is real and that every scientist believes that. Only in kookville, i.e., the audience of Fox News.
