Tyson is not pulling punches on Climate Change.

One can only hope so. He threw down the gauntlet.
Expect the normal utter insanity tomorrow (not so much a response as a knee jerk).

(23,216 posts)He made it so fuckin' clear that even the hardest-headed RWers could understand it--if they wanted to, which they don't. (If it passes thru their sub-reptilian brains and doesn't stick, they have the ability to say it never happened, there is no evidence; and since nothing sticks up there that doesn't fit their reality, there is no evidence, as far as they are aware...)

(11,175 posts)A corporation named "Fox Entertainment Group" owns a subsidiary corporation named "FOX Broadcasting Company, Inc.", a network of broadcast stations. Fox Entertainment Group also owns Fox News Channel, the cable-and-satellite channel that features such luminaries as Falafel O'Reilly.
Although Fox Broadcasting and Fox News are thus in common ownership, the right-wing agenda of Fox News has generally not been evident on Fox Broadcasting stations. As right-wingers sometimes point out in defending "Fox" (without drawing the distinction), it was a Fox Broadcasting local affiliate that broke the story of Bush the Lesser's drunk-driving conviction, not long before the 2000 election.
Cosmos is being carried on Fox Broadcasting, not Fox News.

(9,110 posts)The typical Dana Rohrabacher evening tweetfest of denial:
I tweeted: @DanaRohrabacher Global Warming is gonna be a bitch.
reply:
the controls, mandates, restrictions & penalties GWarming fanatics think necessary will destroy our freedom 4 nothing.
I tweet: @DanaRohrabacher I hope you can be brought up on charges for negligence of duty. GW is a clear & present danger. Get facts!
reply:
I have heard & considered both sides of GWarming theory. Have U? Most of those advocating it R trying to stifle debate.
I tweet: @DanaRohrabacher There aren't "both" sides.There's science v commerce. $$$ v planet. Consesus isn't up 4 debate.
reply:
ever heard anyone use phrase case closed that has been repeated for 20 yrs in order to stifle debate. u support that tactic?
Just tweeted this: @DanaRohrabacher The Pentagon Wants to Tackle Climate Change -- But Congress Forbids It http://io9.com/the-pentagon-wants-to-tackle-climate-change-but-cong-1581721471
And forwarded Chris Kluwe's: "Goddammit. Conservatives, please take your party back from the idiots currently running it. This is just asinine." http://io9.com/the-pentagon-wants-to-tackle-climate-change-but-cong-1581721471/+Mark-Strauss

(1,307 posts)It was the "climate change is happening" commercial. I think it was on during Judge Jeanine, she is extremely amusing especially when addressing the camera with her monologue.

(9,110 posts)Right-wing investment in Canada providing cover.
"You may not be aware that for decades, American right-wing and corporatist groups have been pouring millions into Canadian politics to make it a more conservative and business-friendly place. Apparently that investment is paying off:
Our Weather Preparedness Meteorologists are experts in their field of severe weather and speak to this subject. Questions about climate change or long-term trends would be directed to a climatologist or other applicable authority, said Danny Kingsberry, a spokesman for Environment Canada. Some scientists arent too happy about it.
Its all very scary, said Dr. Chris Metcalfe, Director of the Institute for Watershed Science at Trent University. Its all about controlling the message. In my estimation the government doesnt want the work of environmentalists running counter to their official policies.
