The bait and switch is you say we are heading to catastrophic warming. there are some scientists say it is coming. but there is no consensus on major dieoff of species. >> listen, i will get to this later. i used to work in the white house and i know for sure when you do scenario planning you have to be responsible for outcomes like the ones we are talking about. in the white house and in the pentagon there are no scenarios that don't include significant global warming. they are dire from a geo political point of view and for us to say maybe, maybe not is horribly irresponsible. >> we know tha...

Warming. in 2007 al gore and the bbc both shared this prediction -- the arctic would be ice-free by 2013. last year ice in the arctic grew by 60%. as for the alarmist claim that global temperatures would rise for the foreseeable future, temperatures have flat lined for the past 16 years. the facts are challenging politically correct theories. there's enough evidence to at least have a serious debate about carbon taxes, destructive regulations and job-killing high cost energy proposals. is it cold enough for you? >> it's about to get hot in here. i'll tell you that. look, i agree with you that ...

Fact. >> i want you to respond because that's exactly what happened with the science on tobacco. my father died of lung cancer. and for about 40 years they were handpicking science, tobacco industry, saying look at this, it's safe. turned out it wasn't safe. i'll never get my dad back. i don't want to lose the planet from the same reasoning. >> this is exactly the sort of fraud we're talking about. this is agreement that there's warming, there's agreement that co-2 is a global warming gas. there's agreement that human activity is increasing that. there's not agreement that we're heading to a c...
