FOX Alert: O'Reilly Factor Producer Asks DeSmogBlog to Provide Best Arguments Against Global Warming

Look out, folks. Bill Oโ€™Reilly is about to talk about global warming again on the Oโ€™Reilly Factor.

Of course, heโ€™s already reached his conclusion that โ€œNobody can control the climate but God.โ€  Itโ€™s just that he doesnโ€™t have any data to back up his anti-science position. 

So he has one of his producers on the hunt today, apparently scrambling last minute, looking for โ€œthe very best argumentsโ€ to support climate change denial. Hereโ€™s the email DeSmogBlog received this morning:   

I feel for Oโ€™Reillyโ€™s producers, honestly. It must be tough to face this โ€œvery tight deadlineโ€ problem when asked to provide factual support for a baseless, ideologically-motivated assumption.

Good luck, Robert and friends. Itโ€™s a difficult job making stuff up so your boss can maintain his politically driven networkโ€™s ignorance about climate science.  

Who knows, maybe heโ€™ll surprise us this time. Stay tuned.
