Heat makes Pat Robertson a global warming "convert"
Thu Aug 3, 2006 2:27 PM ET



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said on Thursday the wave of scorching temperatures across the United States has converted him into a believer in global warming.

"We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels," Robertson said on his "700 Club" broadcast. "It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air."

This week the heat index, the perceived temperature based on both air temperatures and humidity, reached 115 Fahrenheit in some regions of the U.S. East Coast. The 76-year-old Robertson told viewers that was "the most convincing evidence I've seen on global warming in a long time."

Last year, Robertson said natural disasters affecting the globe, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita that wrecked the U.S. Gulf Coast, might be signs that the biblical apocalypse was nearing.

The issue has divided conservative Christians.

In October, Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate, said the National Association of Evangelicals was teaming up with "far left environmentalists" for saying global warming was caused by humans and needed to be mitigated.

Signers of that statement included California mega-church pastor Rick Warren, author of the bestselling "The Purpose Driven Life."

In the late 1990s, Robertson paid at least $300,000 to investigate the revival of an oil refinery east of Los Angeles. The bid was unsuccessful.

Except temperatures have been steadily increasing along with human activity, and according to projections by actual scientists.

Good Media play for some donation money to get into heaven in the Robertson Spaceship of Joy.

Apocalypse.... what tool for cash...... I'm in the wrong Buzi.

It is impossible to destroy the Earth we may make it uninhabitable
with Chemical Weapons disasters or Nukes.
We may not be here the Earth will keep on going that's why i never donate to Save The Earth's anything.

Global Warming happens every day.

Church of thome..
The End is Near and i will tell you when send Cash Only.

It's been warming up since the Ice Age, Nick.
Or didn't you know that heat melts ice?

Of course humans contribute, your ass is an exhaust pipe too, brother-man. We expell carbon dioxide naturally.

I'll stop driving if you stop farting, deal? :p

This is pretty funny, or would you rather i discussed religion? lol.


One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in
love. When it became apparent that we would marry,
I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later, on my birthday, my car
broke down on the way home
from work. Since I lived in the countryside I
called my husband and told him that
I would be late because I had to walk home.
On my way, I passed by a small diner and the
odor of baked beans was more than I could stand.
With miles to walk, I figured that I would
walk off any ill effects by
the time I reached home, so I stopped at the
diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.
All the way home, I made sure that I released
all the gas. Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed
delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for
dinner tonight."
He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair
at the dinner table.
I took a seat and just as he was about to
remove my blindfold, the telephone rang.
He made me promise not to touch the blindfold
until he returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still
affecting me and the pressure
was becoming most unbearable, so while my
husband was out of the room
I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight
to one leg and let one go.
It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer
truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill.
I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the
air around me vigorously.

Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped
off three more. The stink
was worse than cooked cabbage.
Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the
conversation in the other room
I went on like this for another few minutes.
The pleasure was indescribable.
When eventually the telephone farewells
signaled the end of my

freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more
times with my napkin,placed it on
my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling
very relieved and pleased with myself.
My face must have been the picture of
innocence when my husband
returned, apologizing for taking so long.
He asked me if I had peeked through the
blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and
twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"

I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I light all of my farts, so they will not harm the ozone layer or contribute to the CO2 in the atmosphere.

The US has 5% of the world population but creates 50% of the pollution.

What you are saying is that Americans fart 10 times as much as other nationalities?

I could believe that...:)

Well, yeah, we do... :)

Incidentally, Industry contributes more to pollution than anything else on the planet. Yet we have gone in the wrong direction with emission laws on cars since the 70's.
The fact is, the way to make combustion engines more environmentally friendly is to increase the horsepower.
The more efficiently an engine burns fuel, the less carbon monoxide it releases into the atmosphere.

The great myth is that people think it is how much we burn as opposed to WHAT we burn.
It's not cars, or farting that is the problem, it's those smoke stacks you see smoking all day long in every major city on the planet.

Naturally, the areas with more manufacturing plants are going to create more pollution.
China is on course to be the leading polluter as we continue to sell our manufacturing interests to them.

Others will follow....
