Ya have to wonder how the computers keep working a Faux News, what with all the spittle flecks generated by Glenn Beck.

Still, they've managed to post the transcript of one of Beck's insane rants on climate change. Amazingly, he discounts the summit in Copenhagen because, among over a hundred heads of state attending, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will be there, supposedly with an agenda to "just hurt the West with some ridiculous climate agreement."

Two words, Glenn: quo bono.

Somehow I doubt that heads of two of the largest producers of oil in the world want to throttle their country's only major source of income.

Then there's this:

Just as a note, Glenn, Galileo didn't live in the "Dark Ages." And I wonder where you got that 30,000 number (other than from the voices in your head*). Even Sen. James ("Intertubes") Inhofe only fantasizes 400 or 600 or 700 (depending on just how tight his tinfoil hat is at any one time) scientific dissenters from climate change. But, as the late great Stephen Jay Gould famously said:

Beck is so not right, he's not even wrong.
