Savage Uses Truthiness To Say Global Warming Can't Be Man-Made

Click here to read the whole story.

<snip>

On last night's edition of Savage Nation, conservative radio ranter Michael Savage chastised a caller for suggesting that global warming is a man-made phenomenon.

His reason? If man was to blame, then how did the ice ages end, long before man-made emissions?

It's like comparing a falling tree punching a hole in your roof and a hole forming in your roof because you used substandard material. Both events caused a hole in your roof, but the first was a natural occurrence, and the second was a man-made occurrence. One has nothing to do with the other.

How cozy it must be inside that bubble -- free of science.

1. Now they're almost admitting it but blaming God?

WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT THE CAUSE IS. We need to deal with it soon. Now. Yesterday.

2. My BIL listens to that nut and sounds just like him. The analogy is this, though

The tree that punched a hole in your roof came down cause you clearcut it in the wrong direction. ;)

3. i was thinking more

like lightning strikes the tree.:)

These false "debates" populate the airwaves, keep the American people uninformed, serve no purpose but to keep the Savages of the world in business.

8. Well, you see, the ice age took place

OUTSIDE the garden of eden, so they didn't really know that was going on until, you know, the "incident". That tree of knowledge is such a pesky thing.

6. "One has nothing to do with the other."---not quite true

Human activities are causing the tree to fall through your roof faster and with more force.
