Bill Maher on global warming denialism and the media’s false equivalency

It’s another excellent rant from Bill Maher, this time directed at those who deny the scientific reality of climate change:

He goes on about how it’s wrong of the mainstream media to keep promoting both “sides” of the issue as though it were a real debate. As though the hollering of politically-driven ignorami was any sort of a credible refutation against the research and logic of well-learned individuals who practice science for a living. It’s too bad that he doesn’t extend this sort of pro-reason rant to the field of medicine, specifically to counter anti-vaccination lunacy, however. But that’s another subject for another time.
