Re: Tim Blair’s Latest Glover Goofiness
Tim Blair is still outrageously outraged that Danny Glover said global warming caused the Haitian earthquake. (He didn’t.)
Blair links to a Bill O’Reilly segment that blatantly misquotes what Glover did say:
Here’s the misquote:
There’s all this hell because of global warming, there’s all this hell because of climate change …
What Glover actually did say:
You know, they’re all in peril because of global warming, they’re all in peril because of climate change and all this.
But “all this hell” makes Glover look worse than “all in peril,” so of course Fox News runs with the false transcription.
Tim Blair, meanwhile, updates his post to take another predictable shot at me, because I linked to a story about Scott Ritter’s arrest in a sex sting with a comment about Ritter’s 180-degree turnaround on Iraq:
Be amazed as Johnson mentions someone else’s 180-degree turn.
I changed my opinion on global warming, as I’ve written before, because I took the time and effort to educate myself on the subject and learned that it wasn’t a hoax after all. The scientists weren’t lying. There’s no grand conspiracy to trick the world. I changed my mind because of facts and evidence.
But one thing you’ll obviously never have to worry about: Tim Blair changing his mind on anything.
