RUSH: By the way, you want to hear something funny? Dr. Roy Spencer. He\u2019s the chief climatologist at University of Alabama in Huntsville. And I have referred to him off and on as our “official climatologist” because he is one of the accredited sources I seek and cite. And so the media, constantly focused on this program looking for any evidence that we might get something wrong, has decided to investigate Dr. Spencer! And not for the first time.<\/p>\n

\"\"So there were a bunch of media hits on the way I have been covering the story of Hurricane Harvey, and they list Dr. Spencer as “artificial” climatologist, instead of official climatologist. Now I\u2019m saying, how did this happen? I consulted Dr. Spencer, and Dr. Spencer is very gracious, and he thinks that it was just autocorrect and the media screwed up. But there\u2019s no way I\u2019ve ever called him our artificial climatologist. Dr. Spencer would be typical of those who\u2019d be targeted.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the people he works with saw this and they went to him, “What is this, Dr. Spencer? There\u2019s nothing “artificial” about you. Why are these people saying this about you?” So he had to explain. He\u2019s added this to his blog now. The only thing you can do is laugh at this kind of stuff. Artificial climatologist, that\u2019s what they thought they heard me say instead of official.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

By the way, folks, I just got a note from our “artificial” climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer. (laughing) He\u2019s our official climatologist, and the media has been — of course, they follow this show, looking for ways to pick it apart. So whenever I cite a scientific authority here, they immediately attempt to find out who this scientific authority is and see if they can do any damage. And, as such, they have come up with the name artificial climatologist.<\/p>\n

I talked to Dr. Spencer about it, and he thinks it\u2019s not done on purpose. He thinks it\u2019s an auto correct error that has gotten cemented in the Drive-By Media\u2019s templates. Whatever. The point is that Dr. Spencer here has written a book, it\u2019s an e-book. He whipped it up in two weeks. He\u2019s already had to issue the second edition to fix some typos several days ago. He\u2019s added some new information. It\u2019s called An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This little e-book that he just whipped up in two weeks\u2019 time is running number one in three different categories. In contrast, Gore\u2019s book is not doing well. The movie of Gore\u2019s book, An Inconvenient Sequel, has bombed at the box office. Gore\u2019s book is number 23,800 on Kindle, and Dr. Spencer\u2019s book is number one in three different categories.<\/p>\n

And course everybody\u2019s wondering, where is Gore on Hurricane Harvey? I mean, wouldn\u2019t this be made to order for Algore? He could get on any TV network he wanted and he could proselytize and propagandize however he wanted. I mean, if there\u2019s ever been an opportunity for Algore and the global warming hoaxers to come forward and say “See? What we\u2019ve been telling you.” Where are they? They\u2019ll show up, folks. Do not think they\u2019re hiding. They will pick their moment.<\/p>\n

Now Spencer\u2019s title, An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy<\/a>. Just look for it on Amazon or Whole Foods. Didn\u2019t Amazon buy Whole Foods? Oh, speaking of that, have you heard what Amazon — (interruption) Whole Foods. What\u2019s the nickname for Whole Foods? Whole Paycheck? Well, Amazon\u2019s going in there and they are just slashing prices.<\/p>\n

I think Bezos wants to own everything. He owns books, he owns retail, and he\u2019s gonna own food. When you own food, you own it all, because that\u2019s not an optional purchase. People have to eat, except Hollywood starlets. Outside of them, everybody has to eat. And going in there lowering prices at Whole Foods, ho-ho-ho-ho, what a brilliant PR move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
