Hannity's global warming lies & misrepresentations

If you've seen An Inconvenient Truth (I have, three times, so I know what's in the movie), you know that Hannity is taking loads of information and quotes out of context when you watch the above clip.

Gore was spot on in the movie - the right will come at the global warming people with accusations, insults, dies and distortions. Hannity is just the beginning. Oh, and in the clip, Hannity mentions Gore's assertion that the Bush/Cheney White House has lied and distorted about global warming. That's a fact, jackass. 60 Minutes did a report on Phil Cooney, who used to work for the American Petroleum Institute before going to work for the Bush White House. While working for this administration, as chief of staff for White House Council on Environmental Quality, Cooney edited reports on global warming, cutting out whole sections. He has no scientific background, and no education on the environment whatsoever. He's a lawyer. Not long after Cooney's editing was made public (Oh, that damn press, eh, Cheney?!?), he quit, and was hired by ExxonMobile the next fucking day. I've blogged about this extensively Here, and also in my An Inconvenient Truth movie review Here.

You read, you decide. Just don't let Sean Hannity's wind-blown political rhetoric from the Republican News Channel decide for you.
