I'm just glad he's on their side
By Matthew Hoy on January 10, 2007
Alec Baldwin, a mediocre actor who I last enjoyed seeing in (whichever one he dies grotesquely in), has written an "insightful" piece over at the freak show that is the Huffington Post.
All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send in more troops. If you don't think there is a link between the weather and Iraq, you are wrong.
Read the entire thing and take smug satisfaction in the fact that you're at least fifty times smarter than this schmuck.
On a related note: Am I the only one who imagined Alec Baldwin as the conceited, self-important actor who gets sliced and diced by the natives in Michael Crichton's "State of Fear"?

Can someone let me know what "climate change" has to do with sending in more troops to Iraq? Will the climate get colder if Bush does not send in more troops? Will it get hotter if he sends in a lot more?
What is so amazing about the likes of Alec Baldwin is not that he is a schmuck, or a putz, or an a******. It is that he fits in so well in Hollywood, where most of the thinking is that the Earth has warmed up 10-20 degrees in the last 6 years since George W. Bush became President, when it has in fact warmed up 2 degrees in the last 50 years.
Look at the following interesting link. http://www.scotese.com/climate.htm. If you listen to the global warming scaremongers one would assume that the earth is currently the warmest or close to the warmest it has been in its 2 billion year history. In fact, according to this link (which was referenced by the NY Times science section) current temperatures are in roughly the lowest 10% of the earth's history. This is not to say that we should dismiss the threat of global warming as meaningless, but it does provide some perspective.
I can never really figure out the point of the global warming alarmists. If their point is that humankind cannot survive significantly greater temperatures than those of today, then I have news for them. If their premise is correct, the human race is doomed to extinction regardless of the impact of human-created global warming, because at some point in the next few hundred million years the earth's temperatures will cycle back to their hot extremes, which are 15 degrees higher than today's temps. We also know that based on 2 billion years of experience that some form of life will survive and evolve on earth as temperatures rise. So the global warming types cannot be arguing that human-created global warming will by itself kill off humankind, nor can they argue that it will kill off all life forms on earth. The only thing that they can plausibly argue is that human-created global warming will cause climate changes earlier than otherwise might be the case. For Alec Baldwin I think it all comes down to his concern that global warming will cause his Mailbu beachhouse to float away and for his Manhattan townhouse to get flooded.
