Bjørn Lomborg and Dr. Roy Spencer to be in Fox News special tonight on climate skepticsm and green agenda

This should be good. From Fox news, video follows.

Bret Baier travels across America, revealing rogue regulators, tracing the truth about the president’s environmental agenda and exposing programs that could devastate our economy!

Check out a sneak peek of the special below, and tune in on Sunday at 9p ET to watch the full ‘Fox News Reporting: Behind Obama’s Green Agenda’ on Fox News.

Dr. Spencer writes in an email today:

Tonight at 8 p.m. CDT (9PM EDT/6PM PDT) I’ll be on a FoxNews special entitled “Behind Obama’s Green Agenda”, hosted by Bret Baier.  They have not decided when it will air again…FNC probably will announce that in the next few days.

UPDATE: – here is an Email from Dr. Spencer tonight:

Well, for those watched…no Roy. They used a couple animations I gave them (early in the show), but the direction of the show was quite different that they envisioned a few months ago, when I spent half a day with them.

Oh, well…it will save me from being harassed over what I said on-camera…for now. 😉 Maybe they will do something more climate-specific later.

Good to see Bret Baier doing this – I consider him among the most balanced of Fox’s newscasters. His interviews tend to be penetrating and reasonably thorough, without the partisan snarkiness so often seen on Fox. He did the Climategate 1 hour special in 2009. I’ll be tuning into this….

This is good news. The debate on Climate will finally be addressed in a “fair and balanced” report without all the preconceived notions and ridiculous presumptions that are frequently in play behind the scenes. (That said, the Spencer Michaels report wasnt all that bad.)
I’m going to check it out also. Brett Baier is an excellent reporter and commentator.

Reblogged this on Is it 2012 in Nevada County Yet? and commented:
Tune in for a fair and balanced look at the cost of “going green.”

I also got an email that Peter Wood from the National Association of Scholars would be appearing to discuss the Sustainability focus on campus.
Second Nature wants Sustainability to be the focus of all campus courses. Such a good use of that Heinz money.

Doesn’t Lomborg believe in AGW?

Au contraire,
I found Brett Baier to be a gigantic [trimmed] during the presidential debates. His job was to be the debate MODERATOR and instead he took part in the debate and was openly hostile to Ron Paul and his views.

Fox ought to do a show on America’s 14,000 inoperative windmills. Call it “No Longer Operative,” which will slyly allude to the greenies’ promises that were made about them before they were built. Those promises should be quoted and shown, if videotaped versions are available.

Kudos to Brett Baier, so there are actually a few honest investigative reporters out there brave enough to tackle the almighty but flawed consensus. Sure hope the content reflect this.

This is excellent news, especially with Roy Spencer on the programme adding a strong even-handed and sober scientific voice. The only problem I see with airing it on Fox is that the people they most want to reach probably don’t watch that channel for its sometimes ‘extreme’ views and right-wing bias. At least that’s how Fox is generally perceived here in NZ. Loonie lefties wouldn’t be seen dead watching it.
In any case, it’s great to see another major vent for the sceptical/rational side of the climate debate and I’m sure it’ll stir up the usual outrage from the warmistas. Too bad!

Saw Lomborg, but either I was looking the other way at the time or Spencer wound up on the cutting room floor. Decent summary of the general environmental regulatory arena, but not much on AGW.

Anybody got a time stamp on Spencer? Somehow I missed him.

Unfortunately Fox News is such a joke that even in Australia we have heard about it. But maybe this will be a first step to a more respectable News porgramme.

I had to step out for a few minutes. Did I miss Dr. Spencer? I was really looking forward to listening to him speak.

RoHa says… and yeah he says, but he doesn’t check the facts:
According to these stats, MSNBC is the joke. They are even more of a joke than Comedy central……But these stats are only the number of viewers.. and the number of viewers doesn’t matter. sarc.

Seems the show was more about EPA abuse rather than climate ‘warming’. RoHa, Fox may be a joke in Australia, here in the US it’s just slightly left of center. You want a joke, check out MSNBC.

October 7, 2012 7:54 pm

They cut out Spencer.

The joke is that Fox news doesn’t have any facts to check, not that they don’t have any viewers.
“Fox may be a joke in Australia, here in the US it’s just slightly left of center.”
Fox has the reputation of being a mouthpiece for the warmongering neocons. If that is “left of center” in the US, then Ghenghis Khan would count as a dangerous socialist.

Too bad about Spencer being cut out, but the expose had to be a shocker to the many who haven’t known about the U.S. Sustainability Oligarchy of the religiously Liberal minded. AGW fraud is, of course, but a part of the religious effort that reaches from Presidencies through your government kindergarten. Hopefully, Nov. 6 can make a difference – certainly FOX and sites like WUWT have – to their unique extent. As has been known and, as Baier shared, the Oligarchy cares nothing if it’s ends has to justify the killing of millions to something like malaria, or anything else.

Roy Spencer says: “Oh, well…it will save me from being harassed over what I said on-camera…for now. 😉 Maybe they will do something more climate-specific later.”
Oh well, I guess they’ll just have to make a scandal about what he did not say on air. About the fact that he was even interviewed.
I mean the man denies climate ever existed from what I heard.

@RoHa,
The reputation of Fox News that you cite is sourced mostly from MSNBC, CNBC and CNN who are getting their buts kicked in the ratings by Fox and who will do and say anything to bring Fox down.
From what I have seen of MSNBC, most of their hosts / anchors likely think Stalin was right wing.
