"Fox", a new word for "idiot".

Fox News has always been a purveyor of partisan denialism, but they've really upped the ante this time. They recently had an "expert" on this stuff, the aptly-named Joe Bastardi come on and say that global warming can't happen because of....wait for it.... THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS! (1:30)

"the whole [global warming] argument, it contradicts what we call the first law of thermodynamics: energy can neither be created or destroyed. So to look for input of energy into the atmosphere, you have to come from a foreign source and it is already out there. Carbon dioxide may be a part of it. May be the sun."

Take a wild guess where the energy is coming from. Yeah, it's the sun. Congratulations, you've answered your own question.

His earlier appearance is even more idiotic, if that's even possible.

* CO2 doesn't influence climate change.
* CO2 is "plant food", so grill away and "help the trees out". #-o
* GW is a leftist conspiracy to make your kids vegetarians.
* GW is all part of a natural cycle.
* GW is probably good for people. (So, it isn't made up? :-k )
* I'm pretty skinny and fit and I gobble down steaks all the time. (Hey, if you're gonna be a liar, you might as well go all out)

And these are the people my conservative relatives and friends and coworkers listen to all the time and repeat back to me as if it were some sort of profound wisdom and not imbecilic denialism. GRRRRR.

Ordinarily, I'd wish this guy died in a fire, but I wouldn't want him to contribute more to the GW problem than he already is.

I won't have "Fox" snatched from it's current meaning of a woman who is "well fit".
