Following up on November's global warming special, Fox News is airing a global warming follow-up special presenting another side of the issue this Sunday, May 21 at 10pm (repeats 1am.) Should be interesting...TCG will be watching. In the meantime, check out host David Asman's reporter's notebook for "Global Warming: The Debate Continues":
The story is certainly hot. Dire warnings about global warming scream out from the cover of Time Magazine, HBO features a special about it, and later this month, Al Gore's global warming film — perhaps tied to his political comeback — will open at your neighborhood theater.
But months before all this, FOX News was there first with a one-hour special on global warming, hosted by my good friend Rick Folbaum. Last November's documentary on global warming gave a platform to those who believe that the effects of global warming are catastrophic and the causes largely man-made.
Now, FOX is again ahead of the curve, presenting another side to the issue with "Global Warming: The Debate Continues." Our first special featured folks who fear the worst from global warming. But global warming is far too complex an issue to be viewed from just one side. This time, we speak with scientists who are skeptical of what they view as alarmist fears about climate change.
It's not that anyone doubts there has been global warming. Even skeptics of the worst predictions agree that the earth has been warming — about one degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years. The question is: Is that enough to push us close to a catastrophic "tipping point," where all hell breaks loose? Also, how much of the warming is due to man? And if man-made pollutants are to blame, what should we do to change our habits? These are issues about which there is far more controversy among scientists than you might think...
