Newt Gingrich | Global Warming Ad | Nancy Pelosi | The Daily Caller

on Tuesday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, Gingrich — now a candidate for the Republican nomination for president — admitted it was a mistake for him to appear in the ad during the show’s “Center Seat” segment.

“First of all, that is probably the dumbest single thing I’ve done in years,” Gingrich said. “It is inexplicable that somebody used to say, ‘You know, there aren’t enough hay wagons to stand on to get people to understand that.’ You just need to relax and go, that was dumb.”

Panelist Charles Krauthammer asked Gingrich if he was being held hostage when the ad was filmed. Gingrich responded that he just made a mistake.

“No, that was dumb,” Gingrich said. “I was trying to do something I failed to do. I do think it’s important for conservative to be in the middle of the debate over the environment.”

Gee, with an understanding of the "real, scientific reasons" behind such a disability perhaps scientists might develop some sort of medicine or gene
therapy for "Republicanism." The search for such a cure would not occur for political reasons of course, but for humanitarian reasons. The obvious mental impairments suffered by these misguided and genetically inferior people are of course not their fault, but perhaps aided by science we can help them.

In all seriousness, if you want to know something about the pathological politicization of science in the US, consider that Mooney (who holds a bachelor's degree in English, and is probably a swell guy) is on the Board of Directors of the prestigious American Geophysical Union and is frequently hired by the National Science Foundation to teach scientists how to communicate.

I wonder how well telling half the American populace that they are genetically/psychologically/mentally inferior will communicate?

Global Warming | Skeptic | The Daily Caller

D’Aleo added that computer models of the greenhouse effect have not been accurately forecasting the actual emerging data.

“Greenhouse computer models are failing on every count — they forecast warming winters — the last decade the US winter temperatures have cooled 4.13F,” he wrote in an email. “[S]ea level rises accelerating — they have fallen the last two years. See NOAA NCDC data analyzed here; they forecast building ocean heat content especially in the tropics (the heat content has not increased).”

“They forecasted an atmospheric hot spot over the low and middle latitudes in the atmosphere. It is not there,” D’Aleo added.

Former NASA scientist and University of Alabama in Huntsville climatologist Roy Spencer took issue with “Hurricane” Schwartz’s characterization of the winter storm as a function of global warming.

“His claims are just plain silly, for two reasons. First, he’s like a person who just won the lottery, claiming, ‘The chance of winning is microscopically small! The whole world must be winning the lottery!’ Well, unusual weather somewhere in the world is pretty common.

“Secondly, there is no way for more snowstorms and colder winters to be part of global warming theory, which predicts just the opposite.”
