Jon Stewart is a comedian, just as your cause is a JOKE.

The Climate Scientologists will say Stewart was bought by "petrocoal".

...JON STEWART, HOST: Oh for fk's sake! Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. OH. OH the irony. The iro---ny. Actually, the real story isn't quite that sensational. Basically, emails stolen from scientists at one of the leading centers for global warming show them discussing the work, a bit, how do I put this, casually. (BEGIN VIDEO) UNKNOWN FOX ANNOUNCER READING EMAIL MESSAGE FROM CLIMATEGATE PARTICIPANTS): "The fact is we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." (Kevin Trenberth) "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline." (Phil Jones, CRU Director) (END VIDEO) STEWART: (Laughing) See, I tell you it's nothing. He was just using a trick to hide the decline. It's just scientist speak for using a standard statistical technique recalibrating data in order to trick you into not knowing about the decline. But here's what's great about science: in disagreement, we go back and look at the raw data. (BEGIN VIDEO) UNKNOWN FOX NEWS ANNOUNCER): University scientists say raw data from the 1980s was thrown out. (END VIDEO) STEWART: Oh for fk's sake! Why would you throw out raw data from the '80s? I still have Penthouses from the '70s! Laminated. What did you keep? (BEGIN VIDEO) UNKNOWN FOX NEWS ANNOUNCER): The scientists say they kept something called "value added data". (END VIDEO) STEWART: Value added data? What is that, numbers fortified with art? Truth plus, now with lemon? It doesn't look good. Now does it disprove global warming? No, of course not. But it does put a fresh set of energizers in the Senate's resident denier bunny. ..... newsbusters.org Even Jon Stewart is smarter than a wharf rat.
