RUSH: Last night on PBS\u2019 Charlie Rose Show, he interviewed Conservation International Cofounder and CEO Peter Seligmann. During a discussion about “climate change,” Charlie Rose said, “Why does the debate linger?”<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: Ah, it lingers because, um… as I say, science is partially ideology.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Mitt Romney got in political trouble with some people — you know, with Rush Limbaugh and others — by suggesting that there\u2019s a human contribution to global warming.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: If there was a 1% chance (pause) that the plane you were getting into this morning (pause) to fly here (pause) was gonna crash (pause) would you get on that plane? (dramatic pause) The answer is always no.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Right.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: Okay. So let\u2019s assume that there\u2019s only a 20% chance that climate change science is right. (pause) Do you take the risk of not responding to it?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that\u2019s the argument these people have been using for decades. I first heard this argument made by a Professor (what was it?) Oppenheimer. Some guy named Oppenheimer. It was on This Week with David Brinkley when I was in Sacramento, and I remember it was the summertime (it had to be 1985) and back then of global warming he said, “We can\u2019t prove it. We can\u2019t prove it,” and it was just five years earlier that Newsweek and TIME Magazine had their cover stories on global cooling and the coming of a new ice age. So these guys are out now with global warming, and we only had 20 years. We only had 20 years — and if we were wrong, then disaster was gonna happen and we would not be able to do anything about it. <\/p>\n

And the argument was: “We can\u2019t prove it, but what if we\u2019re right? We had better get started now! There\u2019s no harm even if we\u2019re wrong,” and, of course, there would be tremendous harm because the solution to manmade global warming is communism. The solution to manmade global warming is socialism. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. So here comes this guy, “Conservation International” Cofounder Peter Seligmann: “Okay, let\u2019s assume there\u2019s only a 20% chance that climate change science is right. Do you take the risk of not responding to it?” We know it\u2019s a hoax! It\u2019s been established as a hoax — and, by the way, if there was a 1% chance that that plane you were getting into this morning was gonna fly here was gonna crash, would you get on it? People do every day. People get on every day. There is a percentage that an airplane is gonna crash, and people get on \u2019em every day. Make no mistake about it.<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re back now to recycling the same old arguments.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back, ladies and gentlemen, to this Peter Seligmann bite. A thought just struck me here. Peter Seligmann last night on Charlie Rose was talking about manmade global warming and Charlie Rose wondering why the debate\u2019s still lingering. Here\u2019s the bite again. <\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: Ah, it lingers because, um… as I say, science is partially ideology. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute! Stop! Hold it just a second. Stop. Did you hear that? “[S]cience is partly ideology.” No, it is not, folks! That is a profound admission by this guy. He ought to be thrown out of the club for that. “[S]cience is in part ideology”? Ha! Tell that to Einstein. Anyway, that\u2019s not what I wanted to focus on. Here\u2019s the rest of the bite. <\/p>\n

ROSE: Mitt Romney got in political trouble with some people — you know, with Rush Limbaugh and others — by suggesting that there\u2019s a human contribution to global warming.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: If there was a 1% chance (pause) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: M\u2019yeeez.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: — that the plane you were getting into this morning (pause) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: M\u2019yeeez!<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: — to fly here (pause) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeees!<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: — was gonna crash (pause) would you get on that plane? (dramatic pause) The answer is always no.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Right. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Riiiiiiight.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: Okay. So let\u2019s assume that there\u2019s only a 20% chance that climate change science is right. (pause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right! Yeees. Right right right right.<\/p>\n

SELIGMANN: Do you take the risk of not responding to it? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So for a 1% chance that these people are right, we are gonna fly our whole economy into a mountain? On a 1% chance — on a 1% chance that there is manmade global warming — we\u2019re gonna go communist? We\u2019re gonna go socialist?<\/p>\n
