Have you heard the good news? There is no global warming. Sean Hannity said so. On his Fox News show last night, Hannity covered a confrontation between a journalist and Al Gore at the Society of Environmental Journalist conference in Madison, WI. The journalist went after Gore over inconsistencies in his film "An Inconvenient Truth." Never shy, Hannity, let loose with, "The debate's over. There's no global warming."How dare Treehugger besmirch Sean. He has been right about the war, our nation, our economy, human rights, civil rights, presidential power... Heck he has been right all his life. If Sean says the climate crisis is over it must be. He's on Fox News - they don't stretch the truth - do they? So it must be true.
Hannity's pronouncement goes against the findings of almost every prominent climate scientist. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that global warning is a major threat the planet and that only strong policies that move us away from carbon based economy will keep global temperature rise below dangerous levels. They recommend that advanced economies cut their emission by 40 percent by 2020 relative to 1990 levels.
Oops, I think I forgot to take my medicine this afternoon.
