Hey, where’s everybody hiding?
FloatingRock on December 11, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Come out, come out, wherever you are….
FloatingRock on December 11, 2009 at 10:40 PM
The point these overeducated morons don’t understand is “There is no such thing as man made global warming”. Any idea they come up with worthless.
Tommy_G on December 11, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Dang… have to go now, but +1 for Stos-man for actually having a rational discussion about “the issues.”
MeatHeadinCA on December 11, 2009 at 10:41 PM
I watched this last night. I thought it was pretty good. The one thing they didn’t really address, though, is loss of freedom. It centered on cost vs risk. But I think it could have hit even that harder.
JellyToast on December 11, 2009 at 10:41 PM
What time is his new show on? Is is daily or weekly?
FloatingRock on December 11, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Stossel really needs a gig on regular Fox News. FBN across from O’Reilly is not the best use of his talents.
notropis on December 11, 2009 at 10:41 PM

Spirit of 1776 on December 11, 2009 at 10:42 PM
I watched the first clip. They never said there was MMGW. They said “IF.” In other words, they told the GREENIES to stop getting their panties in a bundle and telling people to have only one child because there are solutions in the case that MMGW or even perhaps GW is “true.”

Just semantics, the “if” is just there in. I mean a garden hose in space, this guys is a big a dope as Al Gore. He speaks wore calmly and rationally, but he still a dope.

We could survive on non-fossil fuels. Right after we adopt the 1 child policy for a few generations.

I’d rather watch an effin’ musical or some chick flick instead of O’Reilly (except when Laura’s subbing). So, the Stossel show will certainly be a good alternative.
He’s one smart guy… and doesn’t bloviate.
TXUS on December 11, 2009 at 11:02 PM
All is a masquerade…Global Warning, now Climate Change? And we are A-OK with that?
Gee maybe our kids will be taught to never watch the “Ice Age” series. It never happened. Or, why don’t they use that thingy from space and produce tons of rain in Africa, or in the desert? The Amazons could use a little bit too, after all we are killing their forests there.
Would we, as rulers of the world and the Universe, commanded by The Won, zap at will, or with other countries’ permission? I ask since it seems every single day our liberties and freedoms are taken away.
Since it’s a GLOBAL problem, everybody must pitch in-kinda taxation without representation, ykwim?

Read this yesterday from an Ace thread. Check it out, it’s quite informative and devious. It’s from NOAA research — not a shlock outfit.
The Stossel guy was on Beck today and seems real sharp. O’Really has his work cut out for him.

As per usual, you guys crack me up. Buncha funny frackers.
I always like Stossel, especially when he took a beat down for calling Pro westling a farce.
Hey that weren’t mistythestripper (aka J. Ventura) that smacked him up were it?
BTW, I’m doing my best to release some sulpher dioxide right now.
Every little bit helps…

“But I’m freezing my ass off out here!” a hillbilly cried out at last. “Just hear what that innocent hillbilly says!” said the city slicker: and one whispered to another what the hillbilly had said. “But it is so cold out here!” said the whole people at length. That touched Barack Obama, for it seemed to him that the hillbilly and the others were right; but the thought within himself was, “I must go through with feeling all the Global Warming, I dare not risk to do otherwise.” And so he held himself a little higher, which was very difficult after all his bowing lately, and his cronies held on tighter than ever, and all loudly proclaimed the Global Warming which did not exist at all.

clearly the qotd was:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – H.L. Mencken
clearly.
thisisjohnny on December 12, 2009 at 12:38 AM
I personally disagree. I think that these individuals are not completely sure if there is GW, MMGW, or what have you, so instead of saying “Yes” or “No,” they are simply pointing out some of the irrational behavior of the pop-star “scientist” Al Gore – kind of what Palin did, no? So, the fact that they went out of their way to give a solution, assuming there is some form of global warming I find to be a plus.
Now, secondly, about the hose in space. I’d say that does sound somewhat far fetched, but IF scientists could come up for a solution to a problem that Al Gore claims we have, then I will congratulate them on actually trying to improve the world for a prosperous mankind instead of selectively using research to scare people into human extinction.

It doesn’t seem any worse a gamble than any of his others.
Adjoran on December 12, 2009 at 4:20 AM
I don’t really agree with putting global warming in the same category as terrorism. The idea that it is all just politicians trying to scare you seems a bit simplistic to me.
After all, the terrorists are real and no one has said they will destroy the entire planet anyway. Global warming may or may not be real and even if it is, it is highly unlikely that it will destroy the planet.
Terrye on December 12, 2009 at 6:29 AM
The basis for the assumption is wrong.
The warming is ALL manmade.
Mann and Jones did it with math.

The most surprising thing I learned was that the wildest estimate of human toll from global warming was 170,000 annually. Meanwhile, we have around 4 million dying annually from poverty right now. Worse yet, cap and trade schemes will certainly prevent people from getting out of poverty by raising energy bills.

It would be fun to open a new front in this war right on the charlatans’ and morons’ own turf.
justltl on December 12, 2009 at 8:41 AM
Perspective and numbers…
We loose more MANY people to Car accidents every year than we do to terrorists.
During Desert Storm, we would have lost MORE men if they had stayed home to auto accidents, than we lost during the operation.
We loose more people to Doctors mistakes, than we do to gun violence…
There are more uniformed Police in New York City, than we have TOTAL Border Patrol Agents…
Numbers are tricksy things… but allowing politicians to make statements without numbers can be much worse.

adamsmith on December 12, 2009 at 9:17 AM

PatMac on December 12, 2009 at 9:53 AM
It is a hose to the stratosphere, not space. And the amount of Sulfur dioxide globally speaking is trivial. But even counting the cost of adding an alkaloid dispersion process to neutralize the increased acid rain, would still cost less than the most minimal estimate for meaningful carbon reduction, and when the whole thing is proven to be a boondoggle it can simply be turned off.
Slowburn on December 12, 2009 at 10:31 AM
The first Stossel show was a little clunky, as is to be expected with any first run.
But there is a lot of potential in this show…
A show where a studio audience of college-age Leftists, socialists, Maoists, and Progressives are ethered by Cato Institute Libertarians would be popcorn-munchin’ good.
