CNN shock jock Glenn Beck's "Climate of Fear" special was a miserable failure in the cable ratings.

It most likely tanked because it played host to the usual global warming denier gang, using the same laundry list of global warming denial talking points.

See below for the youtube version of Beck's denier-a-minute special broken into six parts -- and check out the research we have compiled on some of the better known global warming dinosaurs Beck features.

Is it scientifically valid to attribute one instance of total failure by the global warming denier campaign to an emerging long-term global trend of failures by the global warming denier campaign? 

Last week's Glenn Beck denier-a-minute special on climate change "alarmism" was a complete flop. The evening ratings are out and it shows Beck dead last in total viewers in the 7pm time slot. CNN can't be too happy, considering there was a considerable amount of hype-dollars invested in this attack on science.

I guess Tim Ball isn't the media darling the US think tank s have been making him out to be.

Haven't had a chance to comb through this yet, but thought I would post it in the meantime. I will bet anyone $5 that the word "global cooling" come up at least 5 times.

Rumour is that shock jock Glenn Beck will host the same old typical handful of global warming deniers on his CNN special tonight. They will no doubt spout the same old arguments like: "I remember when global cooling was all anyone would talk about."

In what is becoming a perfect echo chamber, we see the same small group of mainly industry-funded "experts," running from one ear to the next telling us that global warming is a hoax, and there is nothing to fear.

What this continuous recycling of the same 5 or 6 global warming deniers highlights more than anything is how very few there are left.

Here is the background on 3 of the known fossil fuel friendlies that will appear as "experts" on Beck's show. They are Tim Ball, Pat Michaels and CEI's Chris Horner.
