Ed Begley Jr. Loses It On Fox News
by Big Hollywood

Yikes. Someone got the talking points. Can you say, “Peer reviewed studies?” Methinks those leaked emails that pretty much show Global Warming is … what’s the best way to put it?… the big fat freakin’ lie we all knew it was, has stirred our friend Ed up some.
You know what he sounds like? Someone who believes the Earth is 6,000 years old trying to explain away a dinosaur fossil.
Oh, that old time religion…

hey don't mess with Christianity ok, — better to assert the world is 6000 years old and made by God than 4 trillion years old and the product of a big bang and Darwinian evolution. .WHO RUNS THIS SITE ANYWAY–you people really know how to insult your readers don't you?
oh stupid me, I read one time that the editor/top honcho here was a Christian and I thought the right had respect for Christianity. Thanks for the friendly fire insults.
Ed is a true believer! Global warming is a holy sacrament to the left, therefore hysterics are in order for poor Ed and the gang …funny stuff!
Typical lefty… rather than debate they interrupt and get louder.
Nothing said there except "I'm right… screw everyting else, YOU people"
What an ass.
I've really enjoyed Ed's work in various movies and TV shows. The fact that he's a corrupt, lying monster is a pretty tough pill to swallow.
I totally gave you a thumbs down on accident! Sorry!
I was going to make a joke about us Christians being humorless, but, uhm, I see … I … don't …have to.
Watching this was about as much fun as I have ever had watching any TV clip. Author/classicist Allan Bloom said this, and it applies beautifully here: "Indignation is the soul's defense against the wound of doubt about its own; it reorders the cosmos to support the justice of its cause." This was delightful, thank you.
How about these articles:
Science, v326, 716 – 718 (2009)
Improved Attribution of Climate Forcing to Emissions
Evaluating multicomponent climate change mitigation strategies requires knowledge of the diverse direct and indirect effects of emissions. Methane, ozone, and aerosols are linked through atmospheric chemistry so that emissions of a single pollutant can affect several species. We calculated atmospheric composition changes, historical radiative forcing, and forcing per unit of emission due to aerosol and tropospheric ozone precursor emissions in a coupled composition-climate model. We found that gas-aerosol interactions substantially alter the relative importance of the various emissions. In particular, methane emissions have a larger impact than that used in current carbon-trading schemes or in the Kyoto Protocol. Thus, assessments of multigas mitigation policies, as well as any separate efforts to mitigate warming from short-lived pollutants, should include gas-aerosol interactions.
Science v326, 672 – 673 (2009)
Clean the Air, Heat the Planet?
The push toward cleaner air in Beijing before the 2008 Olympic Games was a vivid reminder of the need to control air pollution, not only in Asia but in many regions of the world (1). There is mounting evidence for particle- and ozone-related health effects (2, 3). Furthermore, ozone and aerosol particles affect Earth's radiation balance (4, 5): Many aerosols cool the atmosphere (a negative forcing), whereas ozone and black carbon aerosol have a warming effect (a positive forcing). There is thus a strong motivation for treating air pollution control and climate change in common policy frameworks (5, 6). However, recent model studies (7–9) have shown that changes in pollutant and precursor emissions, atmospheric burden, and radiative forcing are not necessarily proportional. Furthermore, as Shindell et al. report on page 716 of this issue, current models do not capture many of the complex atmospheric processes involving aerosols and reactive trace gases (10).
Science v325, 1114 – 1118 (2009)
Amplifying the Pacific Climate System Response to a Small 11-Year Solar Cycle Forcing
One of the mysteries regarding Earth’s climate system response to variations in solar output is how the relatively small fluctuations of the 11-year solar cycle can produce the magnitude of the observed climate signals in the tropical Pacific associated with such solar variability. Two mechanisms, the top-down stratospheric response of ozone to fluctuations of shortwave solar forcing and the bottom-up coupled ocean-atmosphere surface response, are included in versions of three global climate models, with either mechanism acting alone or both acting together. We show that the two mechanisms act together to enhance the climatological off-equatorial tropical precipitation maxima in the Pacific, lower the eastern equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures during peaks in the 11-year solar cycle, and reduce low-latitude clouds to amplify the solar forcing at the surface.
He's just mad becuase the dealership won't give him enough trade-in on his bicycle. He can't afford that used hyndai on his own because he is out of work.
Obviously Ed believes in the 'theory' of man-made global warming. He probably subscribes to the 'theory' of evolution as well.
That was hilarious.
Go to someone you can trust. . .or Ed, do you mean someone that you (Ed) trusts? ? ?
Ed Begley, who made you an all-knowing, omnipetent God? Find a new religion and get
back to us — this gig is over. . .a disciple spilled the beans.
Ed said to go to National Geographic for confirmation of global warming. I have an issue from 1972 where N.G. devoted the issue to the coming ice age.
As a Christian I thought it was funny, John!
me thinks he protests too much!
What a freakin clown…the at is out of the bag!
I would have introduced Ed to the theory of my fist globally punching his face had he repeatedly jabbed his finger at me that way. Why do all liberals act like hysterical woman?
Progressives/Liberals are so inclusive/accepting of everybody and everything…………What a joke….. Wasn't California suppose to fall off into the ocean with all these left-wing-nut-jobs…… and when it falls it can take it's bankrupt economy with it….& lets not forget Nancy…
Remember his bit in [i}Amazon Women On The Moon[/i]?
Whooo! Whoooo! He probably walks around the house naked pretending to be invisible. That wasn't an act.
That was farking hilarious! Ed had a Tom Cruise moment with Stu Varney? Rarely does one find an easier to deal with common sense type like Stu, and Ed goes nuclear on him. I may save that clip to laugh at in the future.
When you spend your life trying to scrounge around for life support and feed off lint from your belly button for nourishment,your brain will revolt.I'm just say'n..
Begley is nuts but that Stuart guy wasn't very convincing either.
Ed is a electric car driver who puts his fingers in his ears when there is talk that it's battery is toxic and is the type to have his neighbor cut down his trees so his solar panels recieve light.
You know as well as the rest of us that the Right has extremist the same as the left
A real Christian knows thier belief and takes all other opinion with a grain of salt
/Just my humble opinion
He looks a little insane to me.
……"Why do all liberals act like hysterical woman?"
Because regardless of gender that is what they are
I thought it was kind of a joke on those who mocked creationism as well, in a weird way. And even though I am a Christian and all, even I don't believe the planet is only 6,000 years old. It was pretty funny to me, though.
This christian had no problem with it (as I consider the 6000 old earth theory ludicrous).
Agreed. Folks are missing the obvious sarcasm.
TAKE YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF PUBIC SCHOOL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
Guilt induced "learning" is the pathway to 1984-style indoctrination.
I know of a little girl that wept because she threw he can in the wrong recepticle.
The people behind this shiite will pay one day.

Ed is a washed up actor on a second rate cable show. Why would anyone believe anything he says. He is a nutjob in the likes of his hero Al Gore.
Begley Coo Coo!
Have had more fun reading the comments. The hacked e-mails kinda put the nail in the coffin for Global Warming, it's all over but the shouting, as seen by Ed. When one's idenity is rapped around something and it is proven to be faults, it's like pulling the rug out from under your feet,
I'm a Catholic and I wasn't insulted. Then again I never accepted that the earth is 6000 years old. It always sounded like an old idea and science proved a better theory. Sorry fellow Christians but the Big Bang Theory and Evolution do not disprove God.
If anything they confirm that God exists. No "Man" could create a system of life that starts with a explosion of elements and basics of life and then grows and changes overtime and still allows for intelligent life to exist that can create things. Only God could create that.
So believing the earth was created 6000 years ago is like believing it is still flat.
Bottom line. This email deal is out and it is simply devastating. It confirms what anyone with a brain cell on active duty has known all along. Pushers of man-made climate change can have a seat, forever. We know what your banker masters bosses are putting you up to and we are done with you.
WIN!!

Interesting article on the 'peer review' – the problem is that the peers that Ed Bagley told you to listen to and ignore everyone else are actually the everyone else he told you to ignore.
http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comm...
I admire Ed because he walks the walk, however the problem is that he also talks the talk, and when he does he's just another drooling fanatic looking a totalitarian leader who will stroke his… ego and destroy the country but in a way that he approves.
Man, not every environmentalist would act in such a way. A better reason to go "green" would be the fact that air quality will improve and the united states could become self sufficient with renewable energy. Check it out. You see, it would be a win win situation. Reply to me if you want to talk about the subject.
Magazines are owned by the NWO-they are owned.
. A Physics Professor opinion verses a lame drug riddled actor. And he thinks we believe him. Ed you are ridiculous.
Better to assert the world is 6000 years old trying to explain why the dinosaur fossil has living tissue and blood cells in it. than to assert it is millions of years.
Is anyone else reminded of Beaker every time they see Ed Begley Jr.?
http://www.madmix.co.uk/images/Beaker.gif
Quick! Someone alter that video's audio so he just goes, "Meep meep meep!"
im sorry i didnt want to pay for a PHD taught by single minded individuals. i have always wondered though, when i was in school they always said that the world went threw an ice age, now im wondering how all the ice melted. our world is billions of years old and has to go threw cycles there is no other explanation for it, if she wants to get rid of us she will and there is no stoping it. I wish the left woul just hold there breath so they would stop emiting so much carbon into our clean air
Hi Guest. Theories are hypotheses, backed up with evidence. As such, a theory is not a guess, as you seem to imply. A theory is a solid basis from which to experiment and do further inquiry. It only takes one piece of solid contradictory evidence to make a theory suspect, which requires abandoning the theory or modifying it to accommodate the new evidence. Evolution has advanced along these lines. It is the best theory that explains the diversity of life, that does not employ a "magic" or "supernatural" element. If the theory includes supernatural elements, it is no longer science; it becomes an issue of faith or religion. Science advances by removing supernatural explanations and finding provable natural explanations.
FYI.
Ed Begley is such an incredible axxhole — and he even believes his own propaganda. Look at the heat! He'd be a dictator if he got the chance!
And there you have it – when a Liberal disagree's with you they start yelling and insulting you and calling you stupid. I hope people realize that this NUTJOB Begley thinks it would be FINE to allow police to come right in your house if they THOUGHT you were doing something to harm the climate. This is exactly why these nuts must NEVER be in power again. Obama is talking about signing a climate deal – even after all this has broken. Remember guys – its all about the money.. taxes.. thats ALL its about. Well – except Begley.. I think he'll commit suicide when they prove that global warming was a hoax….sad..
Oh, BTW, you don't have to be a Christian to dispute and depise Ed Begley. I'm an atheist, and he is a lowdown lying skunk.
All you libs find you a bible (kjv) and read Revelation 8:7-13 There you will see that God is going to cause an environment desaster like no other .
An insurance policy on global warming? Nutbag!
Global warming, however, is less than a complete theory, and warrants much skepticism. It has become politicized, and the scientists have become corrupted through the government grant process.
Sorry to upset your applecart, Ed. What do you have your degree in, Ed?
Isn't it possible anymore to believe in evolution, and still be conservative? Because that pretty much describes me.
In 1986, PSA testing for men was considered a revolutionary tool to screen men for prostate cancer.
Twenty three years later the inventor of the test pointblank said, "The era of PSA testing is over."
Roughly 1,400 men have to be screened to save one life; 40 have to be treated.
There have been an avalanche of "peer-reviewed" studies in the past 23 years attesting to the need for this diagnostic. Now we know the test does very little for men's health.
There is nothing sacred about peer review. As a matter of fact, review boards are quite easily manipulated.
The "era" of global warming is over. It will be a case study in junk science for scientists yet unborn.
Well i enjoyed that very much. Very spirited, both sides wailing away…and then smiling and doffing their hats at the end. Personally, I though Stuart cleaned the floor with Mr. Bagley, but the dynamic — free unfettered debate — beautiful. And as American as it gets.
Note: These articles clearly illustrate that the science is not "settled". These three articles published this year are from the premier US scientific journal and each highlight, to a general scientific audience, that there are still unsolved issues related to global temperature changes.
Article 1: Scientists attribute more importance to methane than carbon dioxide. Progressives are focused on carbon dioxide. Why? Could it be because when they are given the power to regulate carbon dioxide they can control everything.
Article 2: The impact of human actions on temperature by "cleaning" the environment are complicated and the current models are incomplete.
Article 3: While progressives like to blame human activity for global temperature changes, peer-reviewed literature published this year argues that solar cycles can explain global temperature changes over the last few decades.
"Someone who believes the Earth is 6,000 years old trying to explain away a dinosaur fossil."
Actuall.y he more closely resembles the whackjob evolutionists and their fairy dust theory of the beginning of everything. Rent expelled if you want to see the lunatic left demand their rights to believe in NOTHING.
Could someone tell me how Al Gore's degree in journalism qualifies him as an expert on the climate,and likewise, Ed, the actor's, profession, of impersonating others, an expert on weather? Oh well, it doesn't matter—–any excuse will serve a tyrant.
I think what you are saying is……
why is the US pretending to be poverty stricken (like Carter had us wearing sweaters because of an electricity shortage?) when beneath our feet and in our mountains is enough $$$$ to put our employment rate up to the top and to retire our debt. WHY DO DEMS WANT US TO SUFFER?
This is not a monetary crisis – this is a psychological crisis.
Wish I could find that ignorantb*tch at the beauty salon that insisted we were all dying from global warming.
It gets hot in summer so I turn on the A/C to keep cool… it gets cold in winter so I turn on the heater to keep warm. I've been doing that for over 40 years and it's the same every year. What's the point?
Haven't seen that, but I recently started rewatching the Battlestar Galactica DVDs, with Mr. Begley as Flight Sgt. Greenbean.
Hmm. Even back in 1978 he was green.

He's a nut. Plain and simple, as are 90% of the Gorebots.
Does Ed have a Phd. in climatology? If not, how can he competent to make judgments on the subject?
Interesting, for all their reliance on "peer-reviewed sources," those exposed e-mails talk explicitly about "changing the definition of peer-review." Quite damning – just move the goalposts when it suits.
As for the comparison to Christianity…
If you carefully calculate the expansion of the universe to time zero, taking into account Einstein's theory of relativity and the interplay of relativistic speed/time juxtaposed with the expansion of the universe, the alleged Big Bang occurrence might well have been the opening act of God's creation…
…about 6,000 years ago.
Hmmm. That takes care of all the supposed dinosaur inconsistency. And still Christianity prevails.
Ed looked mad before they started talking.
I like his show "Living with Ed" but I think Ed is nuts.
Why, when the Bronze Age writers were creating the Holy Bible, did they leave out the entire chapter on dinosaurs? I'm sure God didn't forget to tell them about the dinosaurs, yet they made an executive decision to ignore their heavenly instructions.
They're gonna bust Hell wide open!
Maybe respect for Christianity and respect for belief in a 6,000-year-old earth are two different things entirely, and should never be confused with one another.
Child: Look! The emperor has no clothes on.
Public Relations Courtier: Shut up. Your comments don't matter, because you haven't submitted them to a peer reviewed journal of the Court. We don't have to talk to you, in the name of Science.
EasyOpinions.blogspot.com
Actually, only Christians who subscribe to the 6,000-year-old earth theory should be insulted.
You know Ed Bagley takes the number one A-hole award away from Robert Kennedy Jr. I didn't think anyone could be a bigger fool than him, but I was wrong.
Look folks, the left has big time investments in taking our money and freedom away in the Global Warming Cap and Trade debacle. It's really going to get ugly. They are not going to lose this fight sitting down.
They have been caught distorting the truth and manipulating the facts for years. Once again, they will try to destroy the messenger once they acknowledge the story even exist. MSM is avoiding the facts again.
A message for Ed: They are hiring at Wal-mart. You better get down there.
your just not funny
how can you have peer reviewed studies when your peers won't release their data?
I love the environment…
inside my house.
Sometimes, in August, I turn the thermostat so far down, I have to build a small fire and put on a swearter. Then I tap on the window and get someone's attention outside, someone wearing shorts. I point to my sweater, then point up at the smoke coming from my chimney. I look puzzled, as if I can't understand why they're wearing shorts, when I'm bundled up by the fireplace.
I really love the environment…
Old Ed reacts as one does when what you believe in more than anything has been called into question. I will have to hand it to Ed however, in that he walks the walk and is not the typical hypocrit as so many are when it comes to global warming. If he wanted to live in a mud hut to save the planet, then more power to him.
Varney is right about the light bulbs, I have started a stockpile so my house will be well light up when all my neighbors are reading by the crappy "green" bulbs.
RIght on! Here's another atheist who can't stand this environmental bullshit.
(Also can't stand Ed Begley, Al Gore and any number of other idiots.)
I thought so too, but it could be those crazy glasses causing his eyes to look googly.
Ah, yes. If you have trouble accepting water into wine, or Leviticus (stoning homosexuals to death), you'll probably still do just fine with good ol' Revelations.
Revelations must've been written by a drunken savage who was clinically insane.
I can think of no other explanation.
Same here. I think we have every right to call ourselves Conservatives.
I've been a practicing Conservative for decades and I mean every word I say. I've studied the concepts and the principles, and I live by them. Way to go, Diane B — Very good question.
I am still trying to find in the Bible where it says the Earth is 6000 years old. No luck yet, better just keep reading it over and over.
That was before St. Al Gore had a holy vision of fires and venus.
I, along with 7 of the 8 replies to you John, agree with your observation.
And this provides me an example for why I have not been a church going guy for many years now. There are just some people, in any ideology, that can not allow for the outliers in their group. When someone pokes at a sacred cow, even with wit and wisdom, all they know how to do is bluster and spout the programmed response. Thinking logically? Com'on. Even within a faith based ideology, one can not forego logic. And I think there is so much humor to be had in the illogical thoughts of many people.
Evolution doesn't say a damned word about how everything began.
Rent a book. That way, if the experience doesn't agree with you, you can return it and not be out the cost of the book.
Brilliant!
That's exactly right — and even if there's no criminal conspiracy (and I firmly believe there was and is), there is still the bad science, particularly the angle you bring up, re peer-reviewed sources.
Yaaaaaay, Christianity.
I can tell by the words you use that you're a true scientist, too.
I find that quite impressive.
You're exactly right — these Libtards are invested, heavily invested in the "science."
And they don't mind a bit that Al Gore can become an instant green billionaire, and ordinary working-class folk who haven't even BEEN BORN YET will labor and toil to pay for his fortune, for their entire lives.
They're setting us up to be totally expendable, each and every one of us.
He fingerpoints like a wifebeater. Just saying.
here here HPJr.

Actually I have always believed that God created the Universe about 20-25 billion years ago and that the process we call evolution is actually part of how God creates life in all its forms.
Then again, I think outside the box like that…
But answer me this, if the Earth is indeed 6,000-10,000 years old, why can we see stars that are much, much farther away than that? The speed of light should factor into your explanation of course.
Ed is a doofus.
I notice Ed dismissed Varney's expert because he was not a climatoligist. What degree does Al Gore have?
(bows, blushing)
You're too kind by half. This means you could reduce your KQ (kindness quotient) by 33% and still be on par with the average citizen.
Stop it, stop it. (No, don't ever stop, lol)
Seriously, thanks ever so much for replying.
To Jpeggy & Pinley:
Most sane Christians don't believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. What Climategate is all about, is the following: Otherwise well-educated people perpetuating myths and propaganda. Please consider that before spinning the earth is 6,000 years old fable.
Hi JC830,
You seem to adhere to the theory of evolution as an explanation of the origin and diversity of life. To which specific origin-of-life theory under the evolution umbrella do you subscribe? And do you subscribe to the Big Bang theory or an alternative? How about string theory?
How would you describe the goal of science?
Thanks,
Joe
Darwinian evolution; If humans evolved from monkeys, then why do will still have monkeys? just saying….
