RUSH: Does anybody have any idea who it is that shovels away the snow at Algore\u2019s house? This is a fascinating thing to me. It remains fascinating, even though I know that nothing is going to be said about it. Here we are in the middle of a genuine blizzard, a record snowfall in Chicago — and there\u2019s plenty of news coverage about it, but there is not one reference by the Drive-By Media to global warming, and, “Hey, wait a minute. Maybe there isn\u2019t any global warming.” Record snowfall in Chicago, a blizzard in the Northeast, record snowfalls in upstate New York because of those lake effect snows. It\u2019s incredible, and yet we have nobody wondering about global warming, which we\u2019re told is supposed to occur in the wintertime. That\u2019s when it\u2019s supposed to be noticeable — and how about this? “The Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality hearing scheduled for today,” Valentine\u2019s Day, “at ten o\u2019clock this morning, in Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building has been postponed due to inclement weather. The hearing is entitled: ‘Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?'” <\/line> They canceled the hearing on global warming because of snow and ice! It doesn\u2019t get any better than this, and yet there\u2019s not one reference to the fact that there might be something, shall we say “dishonest” about the so-called consensus on global warming. Then near St. Louis, pi?ce de r?sistance: “Maryville University in St. Louis is canceling the screening of Al Gore\u2019s Inconvenient Truth today because of the snowstorm.” It\u2019s true. This poor guy. Every time he opens his mouth the temperature drops ten degrees no matter where he goes, and yet, not a word, folks! Not a word about the fact that there might be even some curiosity — not even some skepticism — because this is not about science and it\u2019s not about weather and it\u2019s not about warming. It\u2019s all about politics. It\u2019s about left versus right. It\u2019s about liberal versus conservative. The Drive-By Media today, they\u2019re no longer really journalists. They\u2019re not reporting news. <\/line>This is all about left versus right and left triumphing over right, and that\u2019s why when people say to me, “Well, when are you going to reduce your partisanship and try to get along with the other side?” I\u2019m sorry. Partisanship is the battle of the day. Partisanship is the battle for the future of the country. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Stephen in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, welcome to the program.<\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush! I wanted to make a comment on global warming.<\/line>RUSH: Good.<\/line>CALLER: Okay. If you look at the way the satellite photos showed the break-off of the intercontinental ice shelf…<\/line>RUSH: They haven\u2019t shown that. It\u2019s BS.<\/line>CALLER: All right. All right. All right. Think of the way the ice flows southward as it melts. That would mean that it would cause colder temperatures as it reaches that destination. Okay, so it takes awhile to take effect. I reside in Connecticut. We had Christmas.<\/line>RUSH: Oh, wait a minute. I think I understand now. The glaciers are breaking apart there in the Arctic Circle —<\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line>RUSH: — and when the glaciers break apart they\u2019re flowing south —<\/line>CALLER: Yes.<\/line>RUSH: — on the ocean and that\u2019s bringing cold air further south.<\/line>CALLER: Absolutely!<\/line>RUSH: So actually the warming that\u2019s causing the melting is causing the freezing temperatures and the ice over North America and Canada?<\/line>CALLER: That\u2019s another factor.<\/line>RUSH: It\u2019s what?<\/line>CALLER: I would call that another factor.<\/line>RUSH: Another factor. The warming of the ice at the North Pole, the Arctic Circle, is causing the melting of glaciers, and the glaciers are bringing the cold air south and —<\/line>CALLER: Correct.<\/line>RUSH: See, folks, this is how they have done it. Every weather extreme is related to global warming. Look, Stephen, you\u2019re a nice guy and I\u2019m glad you called and so forth. I\u2019m up against it here on time. Do one thing for me. You sound young. You sound like your mind is still open. There\u2019s no science in this global warming. It\u2019s politics and consensus<\/a>, and you have to understand: you\u2019re not capable, I\u2019m not capable, none of us are capable of destroying the planet. All this is, is an attempt to make you feel guilty for the efforts you are undertaking via an advanced lifestyle to destroy the planet so you\u2019ll go for big government and big taxes to supposedly fix what isn\u2019t broken. It\u2019s asinine. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Mr. Snerdley made a pretty bright observation to me at the top-of-the-hour break. I went in there to his office, and we\u2019re watching the tube, and all these reporters — as they are wont to do during snowstorms — are standing out there in the snow. Snerdley said, “You know, I\u2019ve been watching this for the last couple days. These people actually seem shocked that it\u2019s snowing in February. They seem shocked that we are having cold temperatures and record cold and record snowfall.”<\/line>I said, “Why wouldn\u2019t you think they\u2019d be shocked? These people have bought hook, line and sinker into the global warming model. This wasn\u2019t supposed to be happening! Of course they\u2019re shocked.” Then we saw a crawl that went across the screen: “Deadly Snowstorm Strikes Northeast.” Once again, a lack of perspective. Let me just ask you a question. In the civilized and advanced state of life that we in this country experience today and enjoy, do you think the number of weather-related deaths are higher today than they were, oh, say 75 years ago, a hundred years ago, 150 years ago, 200 years ago? Of course not! But the Drive-By Media wants you to think that it\u2019s never been worse, that weather-related deaths are at an all-time high because of global warming or ice or snow or what have you. Anybody ever heard of the Donner Party<\/a>? These were the people traversing the Sierra Mountain Range, out in Nevada-California. It got so bad — so much snow, so much ice, so much cold — they resorted to cannibalism, and the survivors documented it and so forth. The one reference that could be found to the weather in all of the writings of the Donner Party was, “It was an unusually cold winter.” <\/line>They weren\u2019t whining. They weren\u2019t moaning. They weren\u2019t asking, “Where\u2019s FEMA?” They were just making observations. Think about the pilgrims. If it hadn\u2019t been for the Indians showing them how to start a fire, my gosh, who knows how many of them would have died? Think about the pilgrims and the early arrivals in the colonial days when you\u2019ve got snow and ice storms like this, and the only source of heat is a fire in your cabin. The idea that we have it tough these days (menacing newscaster voice), “Deadly Snowstorm! Deadly Ice Storm! Deadly Heat Wave!” and so forth, and yet the incidents of weather-related death have to be minuscule today compared to times gone by, particularly in the distant past, and even the not-too-distant past. I know what some of you are saying: “Rush, what about the 35,000 that died in Spain and France during a heat wave a couple years ago? It\u2019s global warming!” Yeah, I remember that. They didn\u2019t have air-conditioning and a number of problems settled in, but that\u2019s probably the kind of thing that happens in a less-advanced society where there isn\u2019t air-conditioning, where there aren\u2019t places and shelters for these people to go and so forth. That\u2019s probably a good illustration of what it used to be like every year when there were heat waves — which there were, of course. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
