[asa] Rush Limbaugh Science Lesson

On 5/27/2008 I heard Rush Limbaugh give a science lesson on global warming.

From my notes, here is the gist of the lesson, which, in his usual
bombastic way, full of sighs, he managed to condense into only 15
minutes of his program.

The Mars venture last week was a great success. Here is what it teaches us:

1. The vehicle landed at about the north pole, where the temperature
is minus 100 F
2. 95 percent of the Mars' atmosphere is CO2
3. That compares with earth's atmosphere which is only 0.038 percent.
4. Or -- not quite four percent (yes, he actually said this)
5. The air pressure on Mars is the equivalent of earth at 100,000 feet.
6. There is, therefore, less air on Mars than on earth
7. Yet -- there is 90 times as much CO2 there as there is on earth

8. Therefore, if CO2 leads to higher temperatures, Mars should be boiling!

9. Since it is not (it is -100 F), CO2 clearly does NOT lead to global warming

10. Therefore, global warming is disproven. All the scientists who
support it are either incompetent or are lying to serve their masters.

11. He also predicted that the environmentalists would cite Jupiter's
observed global warming as evidence that this phenomenon (global
warming) is also happening on earth and that humans are responsible
for both.

12 He had a lot of fun with that one. Even he knows Jupiter is too far
away to be influenced by anything humans do. Apparently he does not
think the "environmental wackos" know this.

How many innocent children do you think will be home schooled in this
rotgut tomorrow?

Makes the ICR/AIG arguments look almost rational!
