The Climate Change Nut-Case

I witnessed one of the most idiotic pieces of local journalism ever broadcast this evening on the ABC affiliate KSTP-TV. Better known for doing news stories about tobacco stores on fire and amusement rides gone terribly wrong, the news team at KSTP decided to do a local angle on global warming.
... so we pulled together a team of experts ...
Watching the hour-long show, The Climate Change Case, I saw the skeptical morons Christie, Ball, Lindzen, and Michaels featured prominently and the local weatherdork Dave Dahl fawn over some other wingnut in an interview.

All so pretentious and the more so because they deem themselves so important to preempt some prime-time crap because they seem to think they have earned their credentials by constantly showing us the latest murder-suicide that apparently someone else considers necessary to function in their day-to-day life.

I predict next, The Cost of Gas Case.
