Climate Progress was on Al Franken this week (audio available here). The interview shows that even catastrophic climate change can be a source of humor.
Franken posed a challenge to science-fiction author and global warming denyer Michael Crichton: Debate ClimateProgress on climate change. Franken promised to be neutral — and really who is a more neutral commentator than Al Franken?
ClimateProgress immediately agreed. But so far, not a peep from Crichton. Chicken!!

Yeah, right.

Crichton can spend his hours working on his next book, for which he will earn millions of dollars, or debating some unknown blogger who is obviously biased. I know which one I’d chose.
I’d be happy to debate Climate Progress.
