Global Warming is not man made. Well to me anyways.

It’s funny (not in the sense of levity) that Mr. Beck does not mention the rising ppm levels of CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere. These levels are in direct correlation with the beginning of the industrial revolution that began in the middle of the 19th century.
We’re basically crapping in our own mess kits, but many do not want to acknowledge this.
I’ve been alive long enough to witness climate change, and from the short lifetime perspective of a human, that’s a bit frightening.

And no, the world is not cooling down. The aggregate average of global warming is now about two degrees fahrenheit over the last century. That does not mean that temperatures have increased at this rate universally. Some places have become cooler while others have experienced much greater increases in overall temperature. This seemingly insignificant amount is playing havoc with the world’s weather patterns, and it is only getting worse.
Now we have drought in areas that usually have not seen drought, and torrential rains in areas that have not seen this. This is not to mention that hurricanes and typhoons have become much more intense and destructive along with storms in general.

Going back to basic chemistry, warmer air can hold much more moisture. Dust off your old text books if you still have them, or buy one and read it if you are in doubt. Also keep in mind that the scientific method is not about trying to prove what is right. Rather, it is all about trying to prove what is wrong with a theory before the theory is accepted. So far, nothing can be disputed with the empirical data when it comes to global warming.

Yes Mr. Beck, we are screwing up our planet. It is only the arrogance of many humans that turn a blind eye to this.

I for one am worried not only for myself, but future generations. I suppose I can take some solace in that people are beginning to wake up and take notice.

We are supposed to be stewards of this Earth. I’m guessing many of us are sleeping on the job.

Oh, nice try Andy (#191). But the irony is strong with this one. Maybe you should check your "facts". The Earth isn't cooling. Here's another link, which is even better. In fact, typing "global cooling myth" into Google will give you lots of things which directly and completely refute what you wrote.

You people amaze me, it is a proven fact that there is no global warming. The world has cooled down in the last 12 years. Last time i checked he hammered on bush about as hard as Obama. Is that all you can come up with, that he is an idoit that states his quotes in honest facts, post some research to support your answers not just he’s a hate monger. Just check the facts before you blow your horns.

“Beck does alot of his show, tounge in cheek…. not 100% real hard facts…”

I don’t think it’s tongue in cheek, as in meant to be ironic or a joke, but I do think it’s insincere and that surely he can’t believe everything he’s telling the dumbasses who watch/listen to him. Surely he’s not *that* much of an idiot.

Glen Beck’s interview with Katy Couric revealed a few chinks in his armour
I wish he stood by his tall claims when confronted with point blank questions on what he stood for. He wriggled and backed out in explaining on a few comments he made.
Until he quotes clear he will always be viewed as a hate monger.
