Speaking on his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh announced that he now has definitive proof that global warming does not exist:
Mr. Smartypants Al Gore has been making a living telling us all about this so-called global warming. He even tricked the Nobel Committee into giving him a Nobel Prize for this crap. Well, I’m here to tell ya that it only took me a few minutes with the Google to prove him wrong. If global warming is happening, how is it that over 50 years ago, the BBC reported that the winter of 1956-1957 was “exceptionally mild” in Europe? In fact, they said it was so mild that in Switzerland, the spaghetti harvest in 1957 was the biggest ever. Have you heard about bumper spaghetti crops in Switzerland since then? I think not! If there hasn’t been another one since, where’s all this global warming? Huh? There’s even a YouTube of the original BBC report. Listen to it now and I’ll put up a link on my website so you can see it later. Those gorgeous spaghetti trees are a sight to behold. Do you think Gore will have the cajones to watch this and learn?
Here is the YouTube Limbaugh found:

I’m gonna order the left-handed whopper today.
You leftist!
Jim, I’ve seen that spaghetti harvest clip before, believe it or not. What a great joke!
What a riot! Do you think Limbaugh is so ignorant he thinks spaghetti grows on trees???.
Limbaugh should take a trip to the Swiss/Italia border and see the snow melt that has them rearranging their boundaries:
Italy-Swiss Border Near Matterhorn May Be Redrawn
Greetings from (what’s left of) the North Pole, Rush!
Best Regards,
The Polar Bears
Today IS April 1st.
Did anyone tell Rush about the deadly heat wave of a few summers ago?
Even the normally cool British Isles had temp. 20+ higher than usual.
At least he is in a political party that suits his intellect.
LOL! Jim please tell me that not even Rush is this stupid, please tell me he did it as an April Fool joke : )
Ah you got me Jim, Rush did nothing of the kind did he? Joke’s on me : ) That was a good one!
Bingo! Although it would be funny if a wire service picked it up…
Doesn’t “debunking” something imply that one demonstrates a proposition to be false?
“Rush Limbaugh Rants Ignorantly About Global Warming” would be a far more accurate title.
Ahh, but in the tiny mind that is Rush (and in the spirit of today’s date), he totally nails the debunking.
That’s hilarious…everybody knows that Switzerland grows “cheese crops” not spaghetti. Geeeesh.
I feel like such an……….April fool!
getting down with spaghetti…
He didn’t really….did he? KInd of uncool to make fun of your audience, if it was a joke, and he never copped to it….but if he really bought it…then all I can say is….
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!
Naah. Total fiction on my part. Happy April Fools’ Day!
Limbaugher cheese! Really stinks!
Wow, “borrowing” material from Jack Paar. I remember him showing that BBC hoax on his Friday night prime time show in the early 60’s. My mother laughed harder than I ever saw her laugh, before or after.
Where spaghetti does come from
PS Good joke Jim
