If I hadn't been up late enough to see it replayed on every cable news show, I wouldn't have believed it myself, but very occasionally, the universe provides: On a slow news day in a slower news week, Lou Holtz goes on Sean Hannity's show and giggles his way through a panel discussion on global warming.
I kept waiting to see a copy of USA Today emerge. Oh fun, I thought, they must have brought him on to do magic tricks. But no:
Look at him laughing. Can you honestly tell me he knows where he is? And before you skitter down to the comments to type PINKO PINKO COMMIE PINKO, please note: It's not that it's Hannity. It's not even that this "It's global cooling we have to worry about!" nonsense has been debunked ad nauseam. No, the takeaway here is that Lou Holtz was engaged as a panelist on a political talk show, when there's scant evidence that the coach/doctor is a viable panelist on a football talk show.
Scheduled Hannity topics for next week include Dabo Swinney's plan to fix Social Security, Ron Zook's incisive analysis of Russo-Iranian relations, and a preview of Dave Wannstedt's forthcoming book, "55 Easy Steps To Nationalized Healthcare."

The earth's climate is most directly impacted by the, anyone? anyone?, SUN!! Yes, if you've ever one year on the earth you've noticed that we have seasons based on what part of the earth is tilted closest to the sun. The sun does not burn eternally at absolutely the exact intensity like a machine. It has cycles, some more pronounced than others. While the earth has been warming this cycle, so has Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, etc. AT THE EXACT SAME RATE AS THE EARTH!!! And they don't have SUV's or industrial activity (as far as I'm aware of).
While I hate Lou Holtz's gameday schtick and Notre Dame bias, he's nailed this one, Holly's the chump.

Tell the peasant in Central America that one of his food staples, corn tortillas are more expensive because we're burning corn as ethanol instead of eating it in order to "do our part" to stop global warming and he'll tell you about the starving mouths that will go without food as a result. Ditto for the sticker shock we all feel in the supermarket (or any retailer) as a result of increased transportation costs from "clean diesel" that costs $1/gal more than the old diesel. And countless other ways AGWists seek to impose their will on us.
And Obama's Carbon "Cap & Trade" rules will only further drive up our costs for basic necessities. Who will profit? AlGore (the cult figure he is warrants only one name), George Soros, John Edwards, etc. who invest in and trade Carbon vouchers are a few who stand to make billions, while we all suffer. This AGW nonsense devastates the poor in our country and in developing nations beyond the grasp of the Hollywood celebrity millionaires who take up the cause, and the egghead academicians who depend on government grants. I back up my info with links to solid unbiased scientific evidence, you try to stifle the opposing argument with demeaning rhetoric alluding to biased junk science. The AGWists info source is actually pagan religion masquerading as science.
