Five minutes on FOX: MNN talks global warming with Neil Cavuto
On Earth Day, I spent five minutes under the hot lights at Fox Business News. It seems we're still debating whether climate change is real. Watch the video and let me know how I did.
Take a look at the video and post a comment below on whether I held my own.

The agricultural revolution, where humans converted forests and range lands into farms, began to develop about 10,000 years ago. The current world population is 6,853,019,414 on July 1, 2010.The concentration of carbon dioxide increased 2.87 ppm in 1997-98, more than in any other year of record. Changing the term into something that more accurately describes the situation helps prevent a lot of misconceptions that ignorant people have about the term 'global warming'. What truly causes climate.... More

Don't agree with Roger at all. People won't 'agree upon' getting off oil UNTIL they know the science is real.You have to address that. Environmentalists have often disregarded explaining this way precisely because they think it too technical for the average listener. So they just say "scientific consensus" and leave it
at that. As long as we respond this way, we're going to get Joe Bartons, Rush Limbaughs, and Fox news to deny any reality to the GW debate (according to ALL the media -.... More
I think it was a good interview but I'd really avoid engaging on the science (as it won't convince anyone) and talk more about solutions everyone can agree upon to get us off of oil and coal and how global warming policy furthers that.
great work jim, nice vid. Fox's continual misrepresentation and dare i say it lies regarding liberalism, environmentalism and global warming is just getting ridiculous. Its another form of Cominform and propaganda four no specific purpose apart from to keep the status quo.
Hi Jim, heard about you from Earthwatch newsletter, and I just watched the interview. You did very well. I loved the Elvis metaphor, it was very disarming. Did he have a dud single? I suggest you find out for the next time you use that line. When Neil said, "I don't mind if the CNN homes get flooded" in some small way alluded to the fact that he concedes somewhere in the smaller recesses of his mind that it might just be real!
Thanks for bringing facts and good-natured equanimity to the table. Cavuto certainly stuck to his script. So predictable.
Man, you did very well against such doubtfulness! Every time he brought up "smart money" I wanted to rip my hair out. He's obviously not seeing the bigger picture here. Everyone argues that our future generations are going to be taxed to death but what's more important: money or a livable planet? I loved your last statement about not all of global warming being caused by us but that we do have the resources, knowledge, and technology to do our part! What's the harm in trying to save the planet?.... More
"For years now we have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear ... with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." -- Martin Luther King, Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963.
Waiting for the right moment, when we have money, when there is no doubt whatsoever, is equally short sighted, as you note. There are rights at stake, public rights, and there are people already suffering. What's the cost of doing nothing? Good question. And in fact, what's the.... More
Thanks, for the kind words, Bill. Yes, it's a terrible time to make global warming a priority. But, as you say, we can't wait!
Wow... you people are very naughty with the name calling... shame shame... Now back the the holy shrine of AGW... where hypothesis and theory are fact.
How do you reason with such hard-headed insanity? You are a saint!
By staying calm and citing actual facts, you reduced your host to endlessly repeating his only two points: "maybe it won't really be bad, since it wasn't bad last winter," and "it might not be all our (humanity's) fault, so why should we clean it up?" It's hard to argue with idiocy, especially loud idiocy. The problem is the guy has viewers, so some people actually buy the drivel he's selling.
I didn't see what was to gain by shouting. And I did have the facts on my side...

Jim, I only know you as the blogger I see talking about cars, but I have to tell you did a great job under (very) trying circumstances....better you than me, that's for sure.
wow. AMAZING job keeping your cool with such a pushy, closed-minded *******. you presented great info, maintained your class, and it was clear who the narrow-minded biggot in the studio was. well done!
Neil Cavuto is a bucket of ignorant smarm. You did awesome Jim!
You must be a virtuous man. The interruptions alone drove me crazy -- the guy doesn't want to let you get a full sentence out. You did great, given the constant muting of your voice, but part of me wanted you to stare him down, tell him to shut up and let you get a full sentence out, a full argument in front of the viewers and stop being so focused on the bottom line.
