Pat Robertson: It's Hot Outside!

Pat Robertson, the man who I have ruthlessly attacked several times on this blog for being an old, prejudice, homophobic, bigot has admitted that he is now a convert to the environmentalist stance on global warming.

According to Yahoo! News:

"We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels," Robertson said on his "700 Club" broadcast. "It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air."

This week the heat index, the perceived temperature based on both air temperatures and humidity, reached 115 Fahrenheit in some regions of the U.S. East Coast. The 76-year-old Robertson told viewers that was "the most convincing evidence I've seen on global warming in a long time."

Last year, Robertson said natural disasters affecting the globe, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita that wrecked the U.S. Gulf Coast, might be signs that the biblical apocalypse was nearing.

The issue has divided conservative Christians.

In October, Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate, said the National Association of Evangelicals was teaming up with "far left environmentalists" for saying global warming was caused by humans and needed to be mitigated.

Pat decided to flip-flop on his position because.... man, it's hot out! Not because of the overwhelming scientific concensus on the subject, or the fact that out of 928 peer-reviewed studies on global warming, not one denied the fact that human-activities have had a substantial effect on the heating of the planet. Let's not forget that this is the same guy who blames all of the world's problems on the homosexuals. I'm not proud to have him on my side, but he does have significant influence in the evangelical community. Welcome to the light Pat. Start praying... we need all the help we can get.
