Glenn Beck goes hybrid
Despite hosting a CNN special titled “The Myths of Global Warming,’’ Glenn Beck of “Headline News’’ says he actually believes.
“I believe global warming is happening. I went to the Al Gore movie and my producers are like, oh dear god Glenn, if you come back from that Al Gore movie and you say he was right, you’re flushing your career on (Clear Channel) radio down the tubes,’’ Beck told critics at the winter press tour in Pasadena. “And I’m like, well, he might be right.’’
Lest you think Beck has gone soft, he still isn’t buying the idea that global warming is man-made.
“What kind of insane person doesn’t want to look at global warming and fix it?’’ Beck says. “If we can fix it, I’ll drive a Prius no matter how ugly they are. And boy are they ugly,’’ Beck says. “I’ll drive one if it really makes a difference.’’
Beck didn’t know that the next panel coming up included environmentalist Laurie David, one of the producers of Gore’s documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.’’
She says she’d love to give Beck the proof he wants, and we’ll bet she can even get him a deal on that Prius hybrid car.
