On global warming and Bill Nye “the Science guy.” Good stuff:

Rachel Maddow is hoping to persuade people that it’s legitimate to distill Glenn Beck’s position on global warming from a few sarcastic clips. (The same goes for those at MSDNC who claim Beck is a cheerleader for Republicans while ignoring all of the criticism he leveled at Bush and the GOP when he was on Headline News.) When I post on the Al Gore Effect© or refer to snow as “global warming,” it’s not because I actually believe that Al Gore can manipulate the weather or that one snowstorm disproves global warming, but because it’s extremely funny when global-warming protests get snowed out.

Maddow’s effort is lame to begin with, but amusingly, she even stoops to logical error: Glenn Beck’s making fun of warmist claims that a massive snow event is consistent with global warming is used by Maddow as if it demonstrates his belief that snow disproves global warming, when all it indicates is his (quite correct) view that snow doesn’t prove global warming.
