I had to go out there to play golf. Everybody I play golf with is gone, out of town here in Palm Beach. So I went out and, you know, it was a fabulous time. I played Bel-Air yesterday, and Jack Wagner was in the foursome, the famous actor. The guy is a scratch golfer, maybe plus one, knocks the ball 325 yards. Just the nicest guy, and he plays so well it\u2019s intimidating. But I had a fine last three holes and our team pulled even and broke even. It was fun.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday I played out at Calabasas with some friends. And that one, I gotta tell you this, all three of the guys in the foursome are listeners, and they are fans, quote, unquote, and they are one of us. So we\u2019re sitting there, we\u2019re having an adult beverage after the round, and, as always, the subject of current events and Trump and politics and a couple of issues came up.<\/p>\n<p>And then the issue of climate change came up. And one of the guys said, &#8220;Look, Rush, I know, I know, I know, but I\u2019ll tell you, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong with it. Why don\u2019t we pursue it? Why don\u2019t we take \u2019em at their word, look at the economic benefits that would accrue if we began to &#8211;&#8221; My mouth fell open in shock and dismay and we got into a discussion. And this was good for me, because this is somebody on our side who has fallen prey to the very seductive language and so forth put forth by the global warming or climate change advocates.<\/p>\n<p>So I had to use some unique techniques here in discussing this, rather than the scientific data or the usual left versus right lingo. I asked him a question. I said, &#8220;I want you to pretend, let\u2019s hypothetically pretend that there is no man-made climate change, none, nobody\u2019s alleging any, there isn\u2019t any at all. Now, further, I want you to assume that you are the secretary of commerce or the secretary of science and whatever. You\u2019re in the Trump administration. You have a cabinet-level position that grants you oversight over such things as climate change and whatever other scientific things that would impact the administration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want you to imagine that Trump calls you into a private meeting in the Oval Office and says, &#8216;Albert, I\u2019m cold. I don\u2019t like being cold, and I want to warm it up, and I\u2019ve heard from scientists that this can be done. So I want you to put together a policy initiative that would succeed in raising the overall world temperature one degree Celsius in 25 years. I want to hear from you in two weeks, Albert.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I asked that situation, if that happens. &#8220;What would you do? What would you do, Albert? You believe it. You think they\u2019re telling you the truth. What would you do?&#8221; And of course there was no answer. Albert is a fake name. I\u2019m making up a name. The guy\u2019s name is not Albert. Don\u2019t worry about. I would not betray people\u2019s identities here.<\/p>\n<p>See, it works the same way in reverse. How do we stop it? How do we stop it if we can\u2019t figure out a way how we would do it? I said, &#8220;Come on, Albert, tell me we all have to start driving SUVs. Tell me we all have to start paying higher taxes. Give me every cause that the left is telling us that you would have to advocate. We all have to drive SUVs. We have to stop burning coal, whatever it is. And there was nothing forthcoming. I think what it illustrates is that this issue goes way beyond specifics. Specifics don\u2019t have anything to do with it. It has to do with emotional and other things.<\/p>\n<p>I learned something. I thought I knew everything about the <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/144199\/al-gores-carbon-footprint-doesnt-matter\">climate change argument until I read a piece in the New Republic<\/a>. The New Republic is a traditional long-standing Journal of Opinion on the left. Back in its heyday it was along the same lines only on the left of National Review, but National Review has left the New Republic in its wake.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/06\/06\/algore-leads-the-lunatic-reaction-to-trumps-withdrawal-from-the-paris-accord\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-243393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreRodney-Dangefield-Al-Gore-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreRodney-Dangefield-Al-Gore-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreRodney-Dangefield-Al-Gore-1-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>Oh, by the way, Gore\u2019s movie came in 15th at the box office, and all of Gore\u2019s buddies are accusing the studio of sabotaging the movie. It came in 15th, and supporters of Gore are livid, claiming that Paramount, I think it is, didn\u2019t do nearly enough to support the movie and is sabotaging it. No. Nobody cares. Nobody wanted to go see a redo because Gore hasn\u2019t been right about anything yet.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. And here\u2019s another thing, and it leads into this New Republic business. During the discussion post-round, I happened to mention, &#8220;What do you think of Algore? It\u2019s been learned, it\u2019s been discovered that Algore personally has a carbon footprint 34 times as large as the average American.&#8221; And I was looked at by another member of the group, he wagged his finger at me, said, &#8220;Not a worthwhile argument. It doesn\u2019t matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Really? So you\u2019re confirming a point, that hypocrisy of liberals doesn\u2019t count. They can get away with it, they\u2019re not gonna be held &#8211;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No. It\u2019s just not gonna matter to anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe it won\u2019t, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s invalid. The fact that it doesn\u2019t persuade anybody is interesting in and of itself.&#8221; But here, let me get to this brief excerpt here from &#8212; it\u2019s actually quite lengthy piece written by Emily Atkin.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here in the New Republic, Emily Atkin: &#8220;The claim that Gore and his ilk are hypocrites is a classic conservative attack strategy of redirection (because it ignores the core issue of climate change).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is much easier, and perhaps more rhetorically effective &#8211;&#8221; to claim Gore and others are hypocrites &#8220;&#8211; than debunking climate science itself. So the theory is, we can\u2019t debunk climate change, people like me &#8212; except of course I can and do daily. But her theory is since we can\u2019t debunk it, we have to go after these leftist phonies as hypocrites.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-243403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreTMZ-1-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreTMZ-1-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlGoreTMZ-1.jpg 462w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>And she says: &#8220;That\u2019s why you only see groups like the National Center for Public Policy Research releasing &#8216;studies\u2019 on Gore\u2019s energy use. NCPPR, which has been funded by oil interests, advocates against policies to fight global warming because it denies that global warming exists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the hypocrisy charge&#8230;&#8221; This is where it gets interesting. &#8220;But the hypocrisy charge simply doesn\u2019t hold up to scrutiny. An anti-abortion advocate who believes abortion is immoral and should be illegal, but gets one herself, is a hypocrite. But climate change advocates who don\u2019t live a carbon-neutral lifestyle aren\u2019t hypocrites because&#8230;&#8221; Ready for this? This is what I didn\u2019t know. It\u2019s &#8220;because, for the most part, they\u2019re not asking you to live a carbon-neutral lifestyle.&#8221; They aren\u2019t? Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question.<\/p>\n<p>When you hear Gore, when you see Leonardo DiCaprio or any of these advocates on TV and you hear them talk about what\u2019s necessary to fix this, have you ever gotten the impression that they don\u2019t think you need to change your lifestyle? I don\u2019t believe this! I mean, that\u2019s the bread and butter of climate change is to convince you to change your lifestyle because it is your lifestyle that has created the problem. In their world, American progress &#8212; advancing the standard of living, advancing the quality of life &#8212; is where the problem exists.<\/p>\n<p>In their warped view, climate change results from progress. They don\u2019t use those words, but if you take a look at what they believe, that\u2019s exactly how it would be defined. So here comes this babe Emily Atkin saying (paraphrased), &#8220;No, no, no, no. You can\u2019t go after Gore because Gore is not telling you that you have to the change your lifestyle.&#8221; Well, then who is being told that they have to change their lifestyle? Well, I have the answer here, according to Ms. Atkin.<\/p>\n<p>She says, climate advocates are &#8220;asking governments, utilities, energy companies, and large corporations to increase their use of renewable energy so that you can continue to live your life as you please, without contributing to global warming.&#8221; How many of you think that? That\u2019s what I didn\u2019t know, and I don\u2019t believe it. So, in other words &#8212; according to this latest expert &#8212; you can go ahead and buy whatever car you want with no shame.<\/p>\n<p>You can burn charcoal briquettes, you can grill hamburgers and steaks, and you could eat all the beef in the world you want, and they\u2019re not gonna say a word to you about it. Because you don\u2019t have any impact on climate change. No, no, no, no! What they\u2019re gonna do is go after governments and large corporations and other businesses and utility companies and so forth. Now, stop and think. I think that statement right there cooks their goose! It explains exactly what they want: bigger government with more controls.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don\u2019t think that bigger government\u2019s gonna eventually get around to controlling you, then you have another think coming. But I don\u2019t think this is accurate anyway. The whole point of the climate change advocate alarmism is shame, to get you to stop behaving in ways they say are destroying the planet. That\u2019s how they\u2019ve succeeded in it. They running around; they blame everybody else. They blame you for your contribution, but then they give you an out. They give you a chance for redemption. Vote Democrat, raise taxes, buy some silly little electric car.<\/p>\n<p>Do something that mitigates the damage you have made by living your life. That\u2019s the central theme of it. But now we\u2019re told, &#8220;No, no, no, no. Climate advocates are not telling you to change your lifestyle. They\u2019re telling governments and they\u2019re telling utility companies and energy companies and large corporations to change so that you can live however you want without contributing to global warming. &#8220;Last month, [Gore] said the three best ways are to talk about climate change &#8230; look for environmentally responsible choices when making large purchases &#8230; and support climate-friendly political candidates&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-243414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Climate-Change-Leo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Climate-Change-Leo.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Climate-Change-Leo-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Sounds like personal action. Sounds like things individuals have to do to ward off climate change. And then there\u2019s this little paragraph: &#8220;As David Roberts pointed out in Vox last year, the reason climate advocates don\u2019t intensely advocate for personal behavioral changes is that they\u2019re &#8216;insignificant to the big picture on climate.\u2019 That\u2019s true even for huge energy users. DiCaprio\u2019s emissions &#8216;are a fart in the wind when it comes to climate change\u2019 Roberts wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;If [DiCaprio] vanished tomorrow, and all his emissions with him, the effect on global temperature, even on US emissions, even on film-industry emissions, would be lost in the noise.\u2019 And it wouldn\u2019t be hypocrisy, since DiCaprio isn\u2019t asking you to stop flying.&#8221; He isn\u2019t? What are his speeches at the Academy Awards all about? So they\u2019re taking a new turn here, trying to say that&#8230; I wonder how many of you have gotten this impression up to now.<\/p>\n<p>As I say, I didn\u2019t know. I had not heard this angle. I thought I knew everything. But they\u2019re now saying that they never, ever, have done that. The climate change advocates have never been speaking to you. No. They\u2019re talking to large institutional polluters to get their acts in gear so that you can continue to pollute and live your life as you wish. I have not heard this before. This is their way around the whole hypocrisy charge.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to go back just briefly here (just to make a point) to Emily Atkin writing at the New Republic claiming that charging leftists with hypocrisy like Algore or Leonardo DiCaprio as hypocrites because in Gore\u2019s case he uses 34 times the electricity and energy &#8212; flying around in private jets, all this stuff &#8212; than average American does. And yet he\u2019s preaching to every about how they need to stop polluting the planet. She says, no, that\u2019s not what Gore\u2019s doing. You can\u2019t go after Gore or DiCaprio as hypocrites because they\u2019re not asking you to live a &#8220;carbon-neutral lifestyle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-243439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlgoreRushGlobalWarmingAlGorPolarBeas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlgoreRushGlobalWarmingAlGorPolarBeas.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AlgoreRushGlobalWarmingAlGorPolarBeas-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>This is a first. I\u2019ve never heard this. She claims they\u2019re not asking individuals to dial back their carbon footprint. No, no, no, no! They\u2019re not asking you to go out and buy electric cars. They\u2019re not asking you to stop using oil. They\u2019re not asking you to put up solar panels. They\u2019re not asking you to do anything, she says. She says they\u2019re asking governments and utilities and energy companies &#8212; and large, evil corporations &#8212; to do the heavy lifting, to dial down their carbon footprints so that you can continue to live as you please.<\/p>\n<p>If these governments&#8230; Who is &#8220;government,&#8221; by the way? How does government dial back its use of utilities? How does government dial back its carbon footprint? We are the government, and this is the dirty little secret. This is the rotten little secret of this point of view. When she says (paraphrased), &#8220;Well, we don\u2019t want you to have to do anything. We want the government to,&#8221; it\u2019s a clear illustration that they do not have the slightest bit of understanding (at least as we do) of the relationship between government and the people.<\/p>\n<p>And they certainly don\u2019t have any understanding of the Constitution\u2019s role in defining government. The Constitution limits government in favor of freedom and liberty for the people. In these people\u2019s view, it is government that should do the limiting. Limit your freedom. So she wants the government to have all the power to tell you how to dial back your carbon footprint. She\u2019s says (paraphrased), &#8220;We\u2019re not telling you this! Gore\u2019s not telling you this and Leonardo DiCaprio isn\u2019t. We think the government should do it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Snorts) It\u2019s just yet another illustration of how woeful education status in this country, the proper teachings of the Constitution, the Declaration, our founding documents. So this is another way they pretend that their demands don\u2019t even affect you. &#8220;No, you can go ahead and drive whatever you want. We\u2019re not trying to impose on you! We want the government to have to do it.&#8221; Like the government\u2019s a separate entity with no connectivity to you. They run around an dthey pretend that their demands on government don\u2019t affect us at all.<\/p>\n<p>So they want government to do this and do that, that over here, do this. But it\u2019s never gonna affect us. Government\u2019s a separate entity. To them, it is godlike. Whatever. Folks, don\u2019t fall for it. I actually think what this means is that the hypocrisy charge is starting to stick! I mean, you\u2019ve got these big proselytizers. Here\u2019s Algore with his second movie &#8212; by the way, it shows up at number 15 at the box office this weekend, and the global warming crowd is claiming sabotage from the movie studio.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-243440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Gore-Trump-Tower-Gobal-Warming.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Gore-Trump-Tower-Gobal-Warming.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Gore-Trump-Tower-Gobal-Warming-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>That\u2019s right. A Hollywood leftist movie studio &#8212; which facilitated the production of this movie &#8212; is sabotaging it? You mean a Hollywood studio has decided it would rather harm Gore\u2019s movie than make money &#8212; a Hollywood studio, which makes Algore\u2019s entire movie career possible? What do we to believe, that some people at the studio all of a sudden realize that Algore is not a movie star and that his movies are not any good? So we\u2019re gonna sabotage \u2019em to get rid of Gore? Is that what\u2019s going on? That\u2019s what they want us to believe?<\/p>\n<p>They simply can\u2019t believe nobody would be interested. They can\u2019t believe, after all this time and after all this propaganda &#8212; 30 years of it &#8212; that people wouldn\u2019t be clamoring. They can\u2019t understand it wouldn\u2019t be number one at the box office. In their world, they see people lined up outside venues where Donald Trump is speaking; they don\u2019t understand it and they get livid. And here comes Algore\u2019s movie. Algore\u2019s their response to Trump, of course.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ll show you! Our guy is coming out with a movie. Our star, Algore, he\u2019s got a movie. We\u2019ll show you. You want to see crowds, you want to see people lined up outside the theater? You wait for Algore\u2019s movie.&#8221; And of course not only were nobody lined up outside to get in nobody was inside, either, \u2019cause nobody cares. So here these people they hate Trump. They hate these big crowds. They hate the fact that there lines of people who can\u2019t get in, who want to get in.<\/p>\n<p>Their big answer to that is gonna be Algore\u2019s movie, and it\u2019s a yawner inducing sleep and nobody goes.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And back to the phones.

Listening to you since 1990. I\u2019ve called in and spoken to Steyn before. I regularly call in to people like these, et cetera, but you are the guru, sir. Listen, I want to touch base on climate change. My training, even though my passion is history and politics, the United States politics, I regard as the greatest nation, but my training is in statistics, mathematical modeling. And I can tell you that the entire climate change is predicated on lies, all of it. It\u2019s just green money corruption thievery. I think if we check the bank accounts of a lot of the congresspeople and senators we\u2019d find where a lot of that green money has gone to, because this entire global warming is crock, because it\u2019s man-made models. We only have used man-made models to date, and I as a statistician, a mathematics person, I can manipulate any model I want &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly. Every model is man-made, by definition.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And these models have &#8212; in fact, you know this so you can confirm this. I\u2019ve said this I don\u2019t know how many times on the program to anybody out there. The only reason there is a climate change debate is not because there\u2019s any climate change that they can prove is man-made. It\u2019s their models.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The models is it. They have constructed models.

It\u2019s all because of climate models. Exactly right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And Rush, the only data that exists &#8212; and you are absolutely correct. I\u2019ve listened to you before, and you\u2019ve always been spot on with that, but I\u2019ll say this. There\u2019s been a project between Russia, France, and U.S. And the data was published. It\u2019s the only data in Vostok, Antarctica, and what they found is actually staggering and turned the entire discussion on its head. But the news media and the politicians will not discuss Vostok findings. Actually, Vostok shows it\u2019s not that CO2 increases &#8212; and they\u2019ve looked at the all 420,000 &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hang on just a second.
