Actually, global warming is a fact, yes. But if you value Limbaugh's opinion on global warming over that of thousands of scientists and experts worldwide, than, well...
And what does me being in Denmark have to do with anything. I can watch you guys from here just fine
Liebknecht,
Are you are an expat in Denmark? Or an indigenous skullsplitter? Either way, welcome. I spent two years in Sweden about 20 years ago. Och jag kan tala Svenska (badly). Scandinavia is awesome, and less politically insane than this country, that is for sure.
Do you have any Danish Rush Limbaugh types, who can turn any issue into a right (or left) wing rant?
I find him abrasive and unpleasant. I rarely agree with the things he says.
In his latest controversy, he mocked the Chinese President by doing an offensive imitation of Chinese speech. It's ugly and childish. How can anyone have respect for this guy?
Sure, you find him abrasive, some don't. Some found Al Franken abrasive and unpleasant, some didn't. It depends upon your taste.
All entertainers do things such as mock others, make comments that some find offensive. So what?
If you want to complain about something offensive, how about Harry Reid, out Senate majority leader calling the Chinese President a DICTATOR? How can you have respect for Mr Reid, someone who is SUPPOSED to be respectable, and polite, especially in matters that could lead to diplomatic issues with a country as large as China?
Rush Limbaugh = Entertainer, talk show host.
Harry Reid = Democratic senator, and Senate majority leader.
Big difference. Be offended at the leader, not the entertainer.
Most people can not listen to talk radio during the day. Most liberals, who are often college-educated, don't feel the need to listen to a bloviating ass every day. That is why liberal talk radio fails.
ROFLMAO! Now that's a novel excuse for the failure of liberal talk shows!

Discussion is a much better way to learn than to listen to paid schills like Limbaugh. I always wonder what possesses someone to listen to a spin doctor like Rush who does their thinking for them. It is like intellectual baby food.
To the leftists, anything that doesn't agree with their view is "spin". But you wouldn't know truth if it slapped you in the face.
How can you possibly listen to someone like Chris Matthews, Catie Couric, Matt Lauer, etc, etc. and believe that they are not "spinning" the news? Besides, they all use the same phrases in their reporting, with very little difference in what is being said. It is so obvious they are getting the "talking points" from one source. Duh???

What about the THOUSANDS of scientists and experts world wide that state that our global weather patterns are in fact normal, and man hasn't affected them?
What about the fact that a single valcanic eruption spews more gasses and contaminants in the air than any 2 decades of man combined?
So Limbaugh's opinion doesn't matter to me, but the facts that he brings to the table that are accurate and substantiated do matter.
As for your being in Denmark, I think the person is alluding to the fact that people in differing countries have differing values, expectations, ways of life etc etc.

Don't forget the e-mails , showing that the data that proved the globe was warming "missing" , and the bragging of the "trick" that makes the people think its getting hotter .

I don't listen to any of those guys. I don't watch TV (yea, one of those annoying types..at least I am not a vegetarian.ir drive a Prius....yet). I read Time, the Economist, and Newsweek usually. And waste my time on boards like this. I get at truth through multiple sources and turn them around in my mind.
For instance, the Housing Bubble Blog started talking about the lunacy in the market back in 2003 or so. I started following the discussion, and by 2005, I learned a great deal about the bubble,etc. Through checking other sources,etc. Sometimes even a boob like me can connect the dots. For instance in a town nearby, home prices doubled in five years, as population declined! Something was up. That is why I did not buy Greenspan's drivel that "noone could have foreseen A,B,C, D...whatever."
To get back to Limbaugh. I don't mind the guy much. What is scary is when people seem to take him seriously.

Who would these thousands of scientists be? I haven't met them, and I'm in the field. Noone is doubting that other things go on, and we are still learning. Yet doing an uncontrolled experiement on the atmosphere of the only known habitable planet for our species seems spectacularly stupid. And the fact that so many people are so addicted to being ideologically right that they would try to defend and undefensible status quo speaks to how well people are manipulated. It is shocking that in a country with the best science and research institutions in the world, we have people who prefer Rush and his ilk.
Who loses if the scientists are right? Everyone. Who wins if they can dupe us into keeping up our oil and gas comsumption a bit longer? ExxonMobil. Who do you think is supporting Bush, Fox News, and the like?
Connect the dots people.
