According to CNN, Beck will ask “Who’s responsible for global warming?” and then give some real, surprising answers as to “what can be done to fix it.” But Beck will raise a larger issue, why global warming skeptics are being “harrased for raising questions” about theories involving global warming.
Global warming supporters have claimed that critics of their climate theory are akin to Holocaust deniers, and have even demanded that academics and scientists who don’t buy into the Gore theory of global warming should lose their jobs.
“If you believe the mainstream media hype, you’d think that every time you drive your SUV, the Earth’s temperature rises six degrees,” Beck says about his upcoming program.
He also trots back in recent history to recall the last go-around of media sensationalism during the 1970s. Then the media was agitating over “global cooling” and a new, supposed “ice age.”
“The reality is that many respected climatologists have questions about both the problem and the solution. We should understand both positions more fully before committing to any solutions that could do more harm than good, both to our environment and our economy,” Beck adds.
Beck has in the past frequently questioned the cause of global warming and has presented scientists to support his doubts that “we’re the ones causing” global warming.
Recently, Beck asked rhetorically on his program: “Now, I personally believe in global climate change. Not disputing even that pollution and giant Escalades like mine certainly aren’t helping, but are they causing this?”
Among other segments in the forthcoming “Exposed,” Beck zeros-in on the accuracy of Al Gore’s claims in the Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” of 20-foot sea level rises and the catastrophic effects of increased carbon dioxide levels.
The program also targets the criticism some scientists, climatologists and academics have faced for even raising questions about the so-called “scientific consensus.”
Beck offers his own opinion that innovation — not government regulation — is the final answer to solving this problem.
Beck’s first “Exposed” series special about Islamic extremism won the second highest ratings in the history of headline prime in the critical 25-54 demographic.

I thought it was a great program - I videotaped it. The audience for it should have been pretty large since even Rush mentioned it today on his radio show. I hope they re-air it. bttt
I thought this was only Ellen who said this. Is there more than 1. I find this type of thing as equally misleading as stuff the Drive-by-media writes about conservatives.
Just callin 'em as I seem 'em here.
