Pat Robertson Calls Climate Change Idiocy Because It's Cold Outside

Televangelist Pat Robertson may have admitted that it’s “nonsense” to think the Earth is only 6,000 years old, but the climate change debate is another story altogether. On The 700 Club Tuesday, used the now-classic “but it’s cold outside” defense to explain why he believes it’s “idiocy” to believe that the planet is getting warmer.

Robertson was reacting to recent comments by Secretary of State John Kerry, who compared climate change to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other major threats the planet will face in the coming years. “I don’t know where Kerry has been spending his time,” the host said, “but maybe he’s so wealthy they have a special house that has tropical plants in it so he feels like he’s in the tropics, but for the rest of us, it’s been cold as the Dickens!”

“It’s idiocy and they’re laughing at people who go outside and it’s freezing!” Robertson continued, before listing ambiguous records that have been broken this winter and all the flights that have been canceled due to snow. Kerry’s “agenda,” according to Robertson, is to “take control of industry” in America and give “one more victory” to the “socialists.”

For anyone like Robertson who’s confused about the difference between climate and the weather, Bill Nye “the Science Guy” gave a clear and concise explanation on Real Time with Bill Maher this past Friday. “Climate is the big picture, weather is day-to-day,” Nye told Bill Maher. In other words, the climate can be heating up, but it can still be “cold as the Dickens” outside.

Fmr. Head of Meteorological Assoc.: We've Forgotten How to be Cold Because of Global Warming

Dr. Marshall Shepherd, the former head of the American Meteorological Association, appeared Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation to opine on winter weather affecting the East Coast while a drought impacts the West. He said that the public has largely forgotten how to cope with severe winter weather because those events have become rarer as global warming accelerates.

Shepherd began by criticizing climate skeptics who have said that the existence of cold weather in winter controverts the theory of man-made global warming. He said that this reaction was like saying “because it’s nighttime, the sun doesn’t exist anymore.”

Shepherd added that winter weather is also the result of climate change in the same way that as warm weather is the result of climate change. “We know that climate change is happening and humans are contributing,” he asserted.

“I think we’ve forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms, because we’re seeing so few of these big storms like we’ve seen,” he added. “And that probably is because of climate warming.”

He closed by warning, however, that the public has to be cautious not to blame every weather event on climate change.

India: Muslim attempted jihad mass murder attack on mosque because tourists were entering it in skimpy clothes

Skimpy-clothed’ tourists triggered Jama Masjid attack,” by Vijay V Singh for TNN, February 7 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MUMBAI: Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Yasin Bhatkal organized the attack on Delhi’s Jama Masjid in 2010 as he was upset with tourists entering the mosque in skimpy clothes. This is what Yasin told the National Investigation Agency (NIA) following his arrest from the India-Nepal border last year.
Yasin had not discussed the plan with IM chief Riyaz Bhatkal before the attack, the NIA interrogation report to the Centre said.
Two terrorists on a bike opened shot at tourists at Jama Masjid on September 19, 2010, and Yasin parked an explosive-laden car near the mosque to ensure maximum damage. But the timer on the bomb failed, saving hundreds of lives. Two Taiwanese tourists were injured in the firing.
IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal had apparently instructed Yasin to target prominent places in Delhi on the anniversary of Batla House encounter and also sent terror operatives including Waqqas and Asadullah Akhtar alias Tabrez to help Yasin.
Yasin arranged a rented accommodation for the two at Shastri Park in Delhi and himself lived at Shaheen Bagh. He told NIA that he along with an accomplice Qaiser alias Chhotoo visited Jama Masjid on July 15, 2009 and was incensed to find some Russian woman tourists dancing in “objectionable clothes” in the rain
inside the mosque. They were “reduced to tears” by the scene, Yasin claimed, adding he hatched the Jama Masjid attack “to teach the tourists a lesson”.
Yasin procured weapons from Delhi and bought 20 kg potassium nitrate and other chemicals from Anand Parbat area; with the chemicals, he made the bombs at his hideout, he told investigators. Yasin stole a bike from Gandhi Nagar to be used by Waqqas and Tabrez and also picked up a Maruti car from the same area. He tried to steal another car but dropped the plan after its alarm went off, he told NIA.
Yasin and his associates decided to target Gate 3 of Jama Masjid as most tourists entered from there. Accordingly, he parked the bomb-laden car near the gate and walked away towards Lal Qila bus stand where his accomplice Irshad waited for him in a car, NIA officers said, adding they drove back to Shaheen Bagh. The two shooters also returned to their hideout after the firing. The two hung a white handkerchief outside their home to indicate to Yasin who visited the spot the next day that the operation was successful.
It was only three days later that Yasin informed Riyaz about the attack and the IM founder apparently got angry with him for targeting a Muslim-dominated area after keeping him in dark.
