The "open, kind and understanding and inclusive" left just don't understand the other side asking questions about WarmingGate.

As more and more people become aware of the extent of the fraud, the Chicken Littles will become more and more hysterical, because the gravy train is approaching the end of the line.

Fox should require Begley put on a straight jacket if he wants to appearagain. If it was me, I would have broken his finger off.

Just watching this on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=429xoDtqS-A). Funny stuff - Begley keeps saying that peer-reviewed studies will ferret out any cooked books. Uh ... if this weren’t so serious it would be comical.

Begly apparently doesn’t get that the “Peers” were all inside players. They were all in on the Hoax. The real peer reviewers HAVE been doing that and calling it what it is, complete Horse S***. They just don’t want to hear it.

Saw this yesterday....I was impressed with the way Stuart Varney handled the interview....Mr Varney draws no quarter!

Sad to see Begley lose it so bad....unlike most of the Hollywood Left....he actually tries to live pollution-free, enviromentally sound....he is not a hypocrite. You know the AGW Hoax is full bore when Begley loses it

A certifiable nut who didn't even take time to read even a modicum of the evidentiary 'stolen' data. Had he done this he'd have seen the the two greatest conspirators at UEA CRU and Penn State conspiring to bring down and discredit a journal, "Climate Review" which was doing 'peer-reviewed critical articles on junk AGW science, but not with the collusionary motives as they wanted.

Begley Jr. is an idiot, just like that other rainman, whatshisname..........yes! Charles Grodin......

Funny, they failed and it took hackers to ferret-out the books and developers online to figure out they were cooked.

Begly doesn't realize that the emails say they didn't want ANYONE looking at the books in the first place.

Well now it is quite clear that those who do believe in Climate Change have as much a faith in that as the religious do in their religion. Seperation of Church and State. Seperation of Church and state, Keep the radical global warming climate change religion out of our schools and out of our common areas and the next time some wacko like Ed Begley or Al Gore start Preaching their nonsense about global warming simply state “Well my belief is that God will take care of our planet since it was created by him, do you believe that God would let man destroy the earth? You gotta have faith.

Ed Begley told us nineteen times in 39 seconds that we must place 100% faith in peer reviewed studies and ignore everything else.

Was this before or after the East Anglia emails exposed the plan to banish skeptics from participating in peer reviewed studies?

Begley kept screaming about “peer-reviewed science”, but a big part of this disclosure was that the peer review process had been *corrupted*, by creating peer review “circles”, amounting to, ‘A’ peer reviews ‘B’, then ‘B’ peer reviews ‘C’, then ‘C’ peer reviews ‘A’.

To make matters worse, ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ are all in agreement that they will all support all arguments the others make, *and* exclude *anyone* not just who is in disagreement with their theories, but *anyone* who is objective. They might have well had their papers “peer reviewed” by Al Gore.

This goes beyond bad science, to criminal science. It is just as bad as a doctor-scientist taking bribes from a pharmaceutical company to assert that there is nothing wrong with pregnant women taking Thalidomide, then being “peer reviewed” by another doctor scientist who has also been bribed.

I drove by a massive wind farm in Indiana yesterday-—looked like 50 windmills. My financial guy told me he knew about the project, and it was broke.

IOW's when it comes to "climate science", peer review is one big circle-jerk.

The comically hysterical D-list actor Ed Begley ranting and raving when the usually placid Stuart Varney confronts him about the newly-exposed 'climate change' hoax is funny to watch. Stu Varney did a commendable job is blunting Begley's hysteria but these kinds of exchanges are usually far more heat than light. Good television, though.

At best, Ed Begley is appalled at the very idea that he was duped and lives a relatively spartan lifestyle that is based on a fraud, rendering his 'sacrifices' meaningless and wiping out his status as a 'green' crusader who 'walked the walk'. In short, Begley is just plain embarrassed for being taken for a fool.

At worst, Begley always knew (or surmised) that the 'global warming'/'climate change' concept was a lie and now that it's been exposed and the government's opportunity to use 'climate change' as a vehicle to impose the left's elitist demands on the average Americans fairly comfortable middle class lifestyle - something they've long wanted to do - is threatened and will likely fail, big-time is really upsetting Begley (and folks like him) who thought they had this one sewn up and delivered. Well, not quite.

Begley was “all in” for environmentalism many years ago.

It must be difficult for somebody like that, to consider they were wrong, at all.

There’s a 3rd possiblity stemming from the Global-Warming-as-Pseudo-Religion theory: That Ed Begley is essentially like a Millenialist. When the world doesn’t end when the religion predicts, they just re-set the doomsday clock & go on as if nothing had happened.

LOL good comment.

Begley is too stupid to understand that the East Anglia guys, and the Nature people, are, TO THE EXTREME, the high priests of peer review science, ethics, and especially, pillorying anyone who engages in scientific fraud.

The dudes at Nature have really painted themselves into a corner... If they don't carry this as the lead story and the biggest scandal in a century, well, then, they cease to be scientists and become doctrinaire totalitarian socialists who wear lab coats.

There's going to be absolute Hell to pay at Nature, because they believe hook line and sinker in global warming. It is more truth to them than the theory of relativity.

May I ask where? I live in Indiana, and the wind maps in the entire state are pretty weak, except around Terre Haute. Man if you were going to spend money on 50 windmills, you would have to be nuts to put them in Indiana, at least from a wind energy standpoint.
