'Post-Truth' Is Just A Rip-Off Of 'Truthiness'

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing nom-comtetitive." Donald J. Trump

The Oxford English Dictionary has named its Word of the Year for 2016... and it bears a striking resemblance to their 2006 winner.

"Truthiness (noun) - the belief in what you feel to be true rather that what the facts will support."

Jimmy Kimmel and Scientists on Climate Change

Jimmy takes a moment to talk about climate change and the confusing political argument that has emerged around it. NASA says that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that the warming we are experiencing is very likely due to human activity - but some politicians still want us to believe it’s all a hoax. So we enlisted the help of real climate scientists to clear some things up for us.

Republicans Attack Pope Francis for Caring About Climate Change

"Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld accused Pope Francis of being “the most dangerous person on the planet” because he is seeking “strange new respect” from adversaries on climate change.

On Tuesday night’s episode of The Five, the panel discussed the pontiff’s leaked encyclical that warns of “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” unless drastic changes to lifestyle and energy consumption are made globally. Gutfeld accused the pope of having a “Marxist” background and Malthusian belief system.

“And that is what the Pope is doing. He doesn’t want to be your grandfather’s pope. He wants to be a modern pope. All he needs is dreadlocks and a dog with a bandanna and he could be on Occupy Wall Street,” Gutfeld ranted, in a video clip procured by Media Matters."

Rick Santorum Spanked Hard By Fox News

"Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) attempted to argue Sunday that it's more appropriate for him to be weighing in on climate change than it is for Pope Francis, who is not only a religious leader but also a chemist.

In the coming weeks, the pope is expected to release a groundbreaking encyclical -- a papal letter sent to all the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church -- making the case that addressing climate change and its effects on the poor is a moral and religious imperative.

Rick Santorum, a potential GOP presidential candidate and a practicing Catholic, criticized the pope last week surrounding the news."

Fox News Host to Santorum: If Only Scientists Can Talk Climate Change, Shouldn’t You Shut Up?

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum told Pope Francis to “leave science to the scientists” last week, following comments from the pontiff (who has a chemistry degree) that humans were obligated to protect creation. This led Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace to wonder: if the Pope shouldn’t talk science, why should GOP candidates?

“If he’s not a scientist — and, in fact, he does have a degree in chemistry — neither are you,” Wallace said.

“We have to make public policy with regard to the environmental policy,” Santorum said. “Whether we like it or not, people in government have to make decisions with respect to our public policy that affect American workers.”

“I’m saying, what should the Pope use his moral authority for?” he asked. “There are more pressing problems confronting the earth than climate change.”

Santorum went on to say that the scientific consensus about climate change was an alarm for him. “Any time you hear a scientist say science is settled, that’s political science, not real science,” he said.

Pope Francis To Tackle Climate Change

Cenk Uygur host of The Young Turks discusses a planned encyclical to be released by Pope Francis about climate change and the environment.



"An encyclical is a letter sent from the Pope to the Bishops directly under his sphere of influence that lays down a plan to be carried out by the entire Catholic Church. Pope Francis has declared that he will be sending out an encyclical this summer regarding climate change and the environment. It is unknown at this time why the Pope has chosen to tackle climate change now, but some guesses from experts have been made. It is expected that the Pope will declare that focusing on climate change is a part of christianity being stewards of the planet, as is described in the teachings that the Catholic Church follows."

Senator Jim Inhofe Uses The Bible To Disprove Climate Change

Cenk Uygur host of The Young Turks discusses Oklahoma Republican Senator Jim Inhofe's new evidence to back up his claims disproving climate change.



Senator Inhofe has a flare for the theatric. This was shown earlier this year when he walked into the Senate with a snowball to 'disprove' global warming. This was widely regarded as a bad move and Inhofe has drawn a large amount of criticism. In a bold counter move Senator Inhofe revealed new evidence that should come as a surprise to absolutely no one when he started quoting from the bible, a book near and dear to himself and his constituents. In his recent book, 'The Greatest Hoax', he points to a number of passages that state that the seasons will always continue as long as the planet remains in one piece. How this relates in any way to the actual expected outcomes to a worst case scenario due to climate change was not addressed.

Education Doesn’t Matter: Republicans Still Don’t Believe In Climate Change

How could it be that the more educated Democrats are, the more likely they are to believe the science on manmade climate change, yet when Republicans have more education, they are more likely to be skeptics? That is the conundrum put forward by a new Gallup poll released Thursday that showed a whopping 74% of college-educatied Republicans saying they believe global warming is “generally exaggerated.”



By contrast, only 15% of college-educated Democrats said the same. For Republicans with a high school education or less, 57% believe climate change is exaggerated, while only 27% of high school-educated or less Democrats said the same.
