    He knew more about the climate than you and yet you're the expert. Lol

    He's probably never heard of him.

    Just goes to show you how a staunch adherence to the conservative right's agenda, can override the honest assessment of scientific fact by otherwise highly intelligent people and even in the best of minds.

    That's how strong the right-wing Kool Aid can be to those who are susceptible to it, due to some deep seated, subconscious tendencies towards greed, selfishness, narrow mindedness, bigotry, etc, etc.

    If you have those basic, fundamental, underlying, conservative-leaning personality flaws, it doesn't matter how educated you are.

    You're still just another right-wing idiot.

    I have a simpler analysis. It's an old dude thing. Climate science deniers skew both conservative and old as dirt.

    He entertained kids and really old people. His TV persona was very goofy. It was like watching Grandpa Simpson try and be hip and do the weather.
    I met him once at an art show in La Jolla. Nothing like the goofball he played for the news segment.
