VOICE: And now another scenario in which common sense was clearly not applied.

GLENN: You know that old saying that holds no relevance now, "We hold these truths to be self‑evident"? I don't remember where I heard it, quote from some old dude or something. But it seems like common sense, right? We hold these truths to be self‑evident. Common sense. Well, it's a little more complicated than that in the science industry. Some truths are self‑evident but some are inconvenient and others, as we seem to find more and more each day, just aren't true. One of the long‑time accepted truths in the science community was that Earth's atmosphere is protected from solar winds by its magnetic field. Unlike Mars which lost most of its atmosphere due to a solar wind. Scientific consensus. Latest discovery? Earth is losing more of its atmosphere than Venus and Mars. We should just put a big jar around the ‑‑ don't you think we could get, like, Mason to make a giant jar and just put us in the atmosphere in the jar? Wouldn't it be great? It may mean that we may not have an atmosphere as strong as we thought and we're probably all going to burn up by some stray comet or something like that. So it looks like this is just another truth in the science community that we can move over to the not so self‑evident category. If you are like me, you are probably wondering what major study was conducted to reveal and overturn a scientific truth that has been universally accepted? It had to be years and years and years of painstaking research followed by studies and evaluations and conferences and people getting together in places, you know, fancy like Geneva where they could talk about stuff in a foreign language. Christopher Russell, a professor of geophysics and space physics at the University of California‑Los Angeles said, "Three of us who work on Earth, Venus and Mars got together and compared notes," Russell told Discovery News. We said, "Oh, my goodness, what we've been telling about the magnetic shield to people isn't correct." You mean that all these years that we've been fighting the global warming alarmists, all that time spent on writing books and devoting countless hours on air dissecting every flawed opinion, interviewing guest after guest after guest, all I really had to do was take a couple of these dopes out to Carrabba's and show them notes? Hey, you should see this guy's notes, and you should read that guy's notes. Well, another consensus down the drain. I mean, it would be great. We could take them, show each other's notes, I could take them to Carrabba's, we fix global warming, I'd have the chicken trio. It would be a win‑win.
