Hottest on record: Where's Glenn Beck now?

After hearing about how we’ve just had the hottest June since record-keeping began, and that we’re on track to having the hottest July ever recorded, I’ve been thinking back when Glenn Beck was harping about global warming. He was lambasting the idea during last winter’s blizzard that encompassed the northeast.

I was going to write about it, but I first decided to look and see if anyone else had thought of thde same thing. Of course, a ton of bloggers have pointed this out, including one by Joan E. Dowlin at the Huffington Post.

She brings up Beck’s Looney Tunes statement to Al Gore, “I’ve got your global warming right here” in a Mafioso voice. She then rhetorically asks Mr. Beck,

So by his logic, now that we on the East coast are in the midst of a record third heat wave (and it's only the beginning of July) and the temperatures in Philly are supposed to reach 101 degrees today, does this not prove global warming?

No? Well, how about this past year of not only record snow amounts, but thunderstorms, floods, wild fires, earthquakes, mud slides, tornados, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and hurricanes around the globe? Is that a coincidence?
Personally, I think that Mr. Beck won’t say a thing about global warming until next winter when he will pull off the same stupid stunt. That’s the sad part. Our populace is a very forgetful society, and I’m sure that all those who heard Mr. Beck’s inane remarks about global warming have completely forgotten what he said and are now listening to dumb things he’s saying that will be proven equally as inane down the road.
