After linking to an interview between Bill Moyers and lefty author Naomi Klein on eeeeeeevil conservatives’ and capitalism’s roles in anthropogenic global warming, Cusack was shocked to discover that not everyone was buying what he was selling. Several Twitterers, rightly skeptical of the extent of humans’ role in climate change, confronted the actor.
@johncusack LOTS of folks who know a LOT more about this than you & I dispute man made Global Warming http://t.co/8FsfXiQ1 @DocWashburn

That evidently pushed a button in his brain, and the insanity-inclined Cusack launched into a death spiral of stompy-footed wailing:
yes -“@kobie173: @jwwashburn Virtually every "scientist" who claims GW isn't real is on the payroll of an oil company.”

It doesn’t take a genius to spell “genius” properly, either. But there you go.
@MrStephenPike in fact it takes very little brain poower to figure that one out- preety low hanging fruit– even an actor could get it!

We’re unclear on what about Cusack’s ramblings constitutes a public service, but laughing at him is making us feel pretty good.

Hmmm … we’re gonna need a translator for that one. Maybe one of his admirers can lend a hand:

Huh.
Meanwhile, skeptics continued to chip away at Cusack’s brand of climate change fear mongering:

@johncusack @kobie173 @jwwashburn The flipside is true, virtually all scientists who claim GW IS real is on the payroll of the government.

I was fascinated when the emails came out from Climate Unit showing scientists making stuff up & hiding evidence. @chefbridgett @johncusack
— DocWashburn (@DocWashburn) November 19, 2012
And now that they admit the earth hasnt warmed in 16 years, no wonder they changed its name: http://t.co/pBV8Mm26 @chefbridgett @johncusack
— DocWashburn (@DocWashburn) November 19, 2012
And of course 'climate CHANGE' is sufficiently flexible.to mean anything. A big fraud. @DocWashburn @chefbridgett @johncusack

@johncusack what about main stream media! That's propaganda! Any partially educated person should question Al Gore.
— Mindy Gilbert (@pepper2005) November 19, 2012
@N7knight @thinking2hard13 @docwashburn @johncusack Mark, don't be a blind follower. Al Gore has gotten quite rich from this AGW religion.
— Joe Washburn (@jwwashburn) November 19, 2012
