After watching Glenn Beck host yet another climate skeptic on his nightly hour of fear mongering on Fox News last week, I thought I'd pull together a little something special to recognize Mr. Beck for all his hard shoddy work debunking ignoring science over the last few years. Would it be a stretch to say Beck hates environmentalists? Probably not.
10. Environmentalists Want to Jail, Strangle and Execute Climate Skeptics
Last week, Fox News' chief fear merchant, Glenn Beck, took aim at one of his all-time favorite targets, environmentalists. Why wouldn't he? What's scarier than people who are trying to keep the earth viable for human habitation? Especially in an election season.

9. The EPA is Merging with Churches!
And this freakout is extra special because Mr. Beck did it with an enthusiastic live studio audience. (See: Tuesday's Glenn Beck - revealed (and debunked))

8. Obama Delayed Oil Spill Response to Pass Cap-and-Trade
Beck said that President Obama deliberately waited 71 days to accept international help with the Gulf oil spill. Why? Because he wanted to create a crisis situation in order to pass cap and trade through Congress. (See: Beck's Latest Cap and Trade Theory Sinks)

7. Obama Wants to Take Over the Oil Companies
I think I could focus the entirety of the network's content on the right-wing TV host's campaign to convince Americans that environmentalists are communists. (See: Glenn Beck Suggests Obama will Use Canadian Pipeline Bombings to Take Over Oil Companies)

6. The Green Movement Thinks People Are Viruses
Breaking out his trademark chalkboard of speculation, Beck tries to link health care reform to the green movement via White House science adviser John Holdren, arguing that people in the green movement see humans as viruses. At roughly 01:00, take note of the reaction from Beck's panelists after he lays down is hypothesis. It gets even more awkward on set at 01:56 when Beck suggests the environmental movement is all about eugenics and creating a master race.

This one needs no introduction. (See: Glenn Beck Claims Al Gore Creating Hitler Youth)
