Bill Maher called the environment the “ultimate health care issue” Friday night during “Real Time” and argued that our future depends on our ability to stop global warming. But some on his panel weren’t so convinced.
Conservative talk radio host Amy Holmes, actor Hill Harper, and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson weighed in, with Harper being the sole panelist to agree with Maher’s assessment. Johnson said he believes in climate change, but that its effects have been greatly exaggerated. While Holmes called herself a skeptic, and argued that the science behind the topic is not settled. She described it as a “raging debate.”
Maher was blown away by Holmes’ skepticism and shot down Johnson for opposing cap and trade legislation. Maher pointed out that Republicans weren’t so disgusted by cap and trade when George H.W. Bush used it to stop acid rain.
Three cheers for Amy Holmes!!! She stood up to Bill and didnt back down. Even after his condescending remarks, she rsponded with grace and conviction. While Bill maintained his egotistical, condescending, pseudo-intellectual “if you dont agree with me you are an idiot” attitude. I had to laugh when he said he only read USA Today to keep his finger on the pulse of mid america. Translation – he reads it to see what he believes are the morons of america are thinking. Because of course anyone who would disagree with him in his mind is not only ignorant but wrong.
Maybe instead of reading USA today, he ought to check out the actual scientific reports and the admitted falsified data on climate change.
hmmmm he thinks more jobs will be created for “green’ industries? Sure, but will there be as many new jobs created as jobs lost from layoffs and cutbacks in the companies that are heavily taxed?
This man is seriously deluded. For someone who doesnt believe in God he sure has a god complex lol
“A god complex is a non-clinical term generally used to describe an individual who …..believes that their opinion is automatically above those they may disagree with.[1] The individual may believe he or she is above the rules of society and should be given special consideration”

Maybe you should read the half-century of scientific findings supporting climate change, xen zerbino. You might be surprised what you find.
