Kudlow owes Inhoff another appearance without the idiot stand in. If he does not, Kudlow is going to catch hell from viewers including me.

Any conservative or republican should KNOW by now what to expect if they appear on one of the Obama media cabal's shows.  Ambushes, dirty tricks, lies, obfuscation, argumentive hosts, insults... In short - total unprofessionalism.

It's a losing bid to expect 'fairness' from any of these channels, since they were IN ON THE CONSPIRACY from the start!  Of course they're going to try and bushwhack the truth-speakers and shout them down....  Their literal lives are on the line since they sold their lives to the perpetuation of this hoax.

I would say Mr. Hobbs escaped with his tail between his legs.  You don't ambush a Okie like Inhofe.  He has more integrity and grit in his little finger than Hobbs has ever had in his whole life.

There are any number of lists out already documenting the CRU scientists' attempts to hide declines in temperature, exaggerate supposed increases, hide the Medieval Warming Period and Little Ice Age.

Anyone who wishes to discuss this scandal can very easily arm himself or herself with facts and sources.

I'd have asked Hobbs to cite his sources and to reveal how many of the thousands of emails and documents he has read.

The left will spin this scandal the only way they can ... by being loud and rude and pretending that there is a consensus that there's nothing to the story.

They'll argue that we're just not smart enough to understand the issues involved when all you have to do is let their own words hang these charlatans. But have the words handy, for Heaven's sake.

I certainly do not know the "ins and/or outs" of all this "debate," but the clear impression I got from this exchange was that Obama has (once again) likely surrounded himself with advisors who will give him nothing but a one-sided view of a very complex subject.

If you think about it, politicians build consensus in much the same way. Political movement always has the same problem: how do we motivate others to get on our bandwagon? The first task is to create the bandwagon in the first place.

• Now, your issue may be true by itself, anyway, but politically that doesn't matter. What matters in politics is getting a huge number of people to agree with you.
• So, how do you start a bandwagon in the first place? These days, we all use polls, because Americans seem to love jumping on any bandwagon that they think everyone else is jumping on. We're kind of stupid that way.
• That's why these emails were a scandal. True, they may not be evidence about the science of global warming. But they are smoking gun evidence of how these scientists were trying to create and sustain their political bandwagon. And once you remember that the global warming bandwagon promises to reward these scientists with gazillions of dollars in finance money ... well, it makes us all a little more skeptical.

When Hobbs claims the emails don't address the science, he's just being dense on purpose. He's trying to distort what the scandal is about to make it appear to be about nothing. Journalists do that all the time, e.g., I argue that this was their method when Clinton's grand jury perjury was "just about sex." And if you add in the patronizing and condescending smugness of "I'm sorry, but I'm going to be terribly rude Senator, but I'm going to interrupt you again ... " it shows that they have to resort to rhetorical tricks and attitude instead of facts or logic.

Pay attention to this media tactic. They use it all the time.

  On Special Report. He was one of the ones in the exposed emails.

An email by a Dr. Trenberth says, "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."

His response was on Special Report.

It certainly doesn't mean that there is no global warming. It does mean we don't have a complete enough observing system to fully track exactly what's going on and especially why it's going on.　

Global Warming is happening. Um, there are some uncertainties and and the models are not perfect. And the key questions are then what do we do about it. And this is where the debate certainly is required.

Let me get this straight. You can't observe what is going on currently. You can't say why any current changes happen. There are uncertainties so the models cannot be perfect.

Yet, we are to believe you can predict what will happen in the future? You did not even predict the decadal warming period of the last ten years.

I don't know the long term result of Climategate. Based upon statements like these, I would say the debate is far from over and we most definitely should not drastically alter our economy for a long time to come.

I couldn't watch this twit any longer.  Had to give up mid-way.  I'm sure Larry will address this when he gets back.

 Man-made Global Warming is real----Man made it by cooking the books.

I get really tired when these guys want to cover up one side of an issue.  That is why we have a President which the media refused to vet.  Wonder if they will ever come up with "buyers remorse".

And then along came NIWA ...

The way the whole climate fraudsters are operating is enough to tip anybody off with just a modicum of science experience that something is very wrong with the man-made CO2 driven global warming hypothesis --- yes it's a hypothesis, someone's idea of what might happen, or might not. 

If earth's climate were so sensitive to CO2, we would all be dead long ago ... positive feedbacks are very destructive, and result in near immediate destruction of the host. When the volcanoes in India erupted, millions of years ago, with enough lava to cover the entire North American continent with lava 600 feet deep, that attendant amount of CO2 and SO2 exhausted into the atmosphere would have destroyed all life on earth -- but it didn't.

But proof the hypothesis is false is the missing CO2 atmospheric signature over the equator +-15 degrees latitude -- Al Gore's 'blanket' if you want to call it something. The fact that it cannot be found, and measured, is a sure sign the AGW hoax that electricity generation and cars are destroying the earth is false.

And now we know the data has been falsified.

I believe there is evidence that co2 build up LAGS a rise in temperature.

Conservatives outnumber Liberals 2 to 1 per Gallup

As obnoxious, overbearing and destructive as the "environmental" movement is over here, at least there is a significant enough collection of courageous and intelligent people in the U.S. to stand up to the eco-Marxist bullies.  Over in Britain the virus of "environmentalism" has spread to the extent that the groupthink has infiltrated the lion's share of liberals and conservatives.  You have sports fans calling in to the football talk shows obsessing over the "carbon footprints" they've left travelling to away games!  The sole purpose of the eco-parasite is to take the joy out of the lives of others...thankfully, we've got true heroes like James Inhofe to tell this Gladys Kravitz mob to stick it where the Sun don't shine.

“• What is the current scientific consensus on the conclusions reached by Drs. Mann,Bradley and Hughes? [Referring to the hockey stick propagated in UN IPCC 2001 by Climategate Michael Mann.]Ans: Based on the literature we have reviewed, there is no overarching consensus on MBH98/99.   As analyzed in our social network, there is a tightly knit group of individuals who passionately believe in their thesis. However, our perception is that this group has a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism and, moreover, the work has been sufficiently politicized that they can hardly reassess their public positions without losing credibility.”  AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE ‘HOCKEY  STICK’ GLOBAL CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION, also known as The Wegman report was authored by Edward J.
