Is Global Warming a “Crock of S*%t?”
“Global warming is a crock of s*%t!”
When Bob Lutz, vice-chairman of General Motors, said this in February 2008, it immediately became the most widely distributed quote regarding global warming on the Internet. After all, this was one of the major power players in the automobile industry, and he was implying that anyone who believed that global warming was real, man-made, and altering the planet was something akin to a moron. But the problem with that quote is that it’s incomplete. I know. I was there.
It was at a small private luncheon at Cacharel in Arlington, Tex., when Lutz uttered those words. But the quote omits what he said next: “Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a climate denier.” As he explained to those present, he simply questions the mindset that blames all the climate change of the past few decades on mankind.
