Bill Maher #318 Climate Change Deniers

by Catherine Giordano

On "Real Time with Bill Maher", episode 318, which aired on May 16, 2014, Maher and the panelists discussed climate change. I add my two cents worth here.

We all a little fed-up with the climate change deniers? My understanding is that if it weren’t for global warming we would be having a mini-ice age right now. So, up to a point, global warming has been a good thing. But it is clear that it has gone too far. And it is clear that part of the warming is man-made and not just normal fluctuations in climate.  

When 97% of climate scientists agree, the argument is over and even Republicans have to get on board. Kellyanne Conway, a panelist on the show who is a Republican strategist and pollster and president and CEO of “The Polling Group” said, “We have to have an all of the above strategy.”

Exactly—a little wind, a little solar, a little conservation—it all adds up. Side benefit—fewer oil spills like the one we just had in LA that Maher said resulted in the need to “clean up 15 homeless former child actors.”

  1. The climate-change-deniers have a new response."I am not a scientist." Yes, that is exactly why when 97% of scientists agree on something (e.g. man-made global warming) you should listen!

  2. Neil de Grasse Tyson in episode 12 "The World Set Free" of "Cosmos" gives the best explanation I have heard about the "greenhouse effect." It is also the most frightening.
