Hello.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush Limbaugh, 2.9 trillion dittos from Bucks County Playhouse, the State Theater of Pennsylvania.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Thank you, sir. Nice to have you on the program.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, thank you. I was listening to a science special a couple of nights ago, and they were talking about the creation of the planets and the moons.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: What network?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I think it was Discovery. I\u2019m not a hundred percent sure.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay. Discovery HD or Discovery?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: HD, because the technical conservatives here all have High Def TV.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay, good.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: They made the point that the moon at one point when it was established, was 14,000 miles from earth and now it\u2019s 240,000 from earth, and as the moon continues to pull away at an inch and a half a year, that we are going to continue to wobble on our axis, and eventually the axis of the earth won\u2019t exist and there will be catastrophic climate change. Deserts will turn into lush rain forests, and vice-versa. They also implied, although I don\u2019t think it was politically correct for them to do so, that this is one of the reasons we\u2019re having climatary change right now.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Because the earth is wobbling on its axis?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Correct, and secondly &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Go ahead.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Just a second, just a second. Now, here I go. I\u2019m just going to be my normal, ordinary, average Joe guy. The moon was 14,000 miles at one point; now it\u2019s 240,000 miles.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Correct.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And it\u2019s still moving away?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It\u2019s still moving away at an inch and a half a year. That\u2019s gotta be a conservative plot, of course.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: An inch and a half a year?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Correct.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay, if that\u2019s so, why are sunrise and sunset still at the same times today as they were when I was born?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Sunrise and sunset? You\u2019ve got me there.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, if we\u2019re wobbling, that wouldn\u2019t be the case. If we\u2019re wobbling, we\u2019d start seeing some change. We would start seeing later sunsets in the winter and earlier sunsets in the summer! Now, I know I\u2019m not a scientist. I\u2019m probably not even qualified to ask this stupid question.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, not if it wobbles back.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I know you\u2019ve got another point. Hang on. I\u2019m very much concerned with sunset in the wintertime because the later the better, because you get to play golf. I have found a website. I can check the sunset for any day in the next hundred years &#8212; and, you know what? It\u2019s the same on January 20th X year as it is a hundred years from now on this website. Now, if we are wobbling, how can that be? It can\u2019t! What is your second point?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, the second point is, water is the only substance that I know of that expands when it goes from the liquid to the solid state, and it\u2019s my understanding that the ice caps are primary underwater. Well, if they\u2019re going to melt&#8230;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Nope. Nope. See, I\u2019ve tried that, too, but the wackos come back and say, &#8220;Nooo, nooo! That\u2019s a mistake everybody makes. The ice caps, most of the ice caps, the polar ice caps are on land, and so when they melt&#8230;&#8221; Oh, they\u2019ve got every answer for you, folks. They\u2019ve got every answer. I once asked a question. &#8220;Wait a minute. How in the world, if ice on the planet melts, is the sea level going to rise? All we\u2019re talking about here is water displacement,&#8221; and of course the wackos respond, &#8220;This is why Limbaugh should get off the air! He misleads people, and this is why Limbaugh is not a scientist, because Limbaugh doesn\u2019t know that polar ice is on land!&#8221; That\u2019s what they say to this. So melting ice? It will flood Manhattan, and it will flood Chicago! There won\u2019t be any Long Island, and so forth. This is, of course, in the next 40 or a hundred years. They\u2019re not quite sure. But we\u2019re going to wake up one day and Long Island will not be there! It will have happened overnight. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ralph in New Hope, Pennsylvania, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
