dr. spencer and some of the other panelists who kind of help bring home some of the key points about how graffiti really is a gateway crime and how graffiti vandals escalate. and that's one, if any message i can take home, that's what i really want to so i thank you for that. omaha, nebraska. >> omaha, nebraska. you have one up there? >> i'm all done. >> do you have a question you wanted to ask? >> [speaker not understood]. >> we'll get to the sales pitches, okay. [laughter] >> okay. anybody else here, let me come over here because we're going to start wrapping this up pretty soon because we have some awards we're going to give out. okay. i'm going to hold the mic and i'll determine how quick it's going to be, okay. [laughter] >> just to compliment the city of san francisco. i was on -- i took the muni in yesterday. and when i was on the bus in the morning, there is a repetitive announcement that went out that said, if you see graffiti, report it. and here's the phone number. it went out, i believe in three languages. that's wonderful. i think that's more key than if you hit the raid yox

dr. roy spencer, is affiliated with the industry-backed george c. marshall institute and the heartland institute. regrettably, dr. spencer played a tried and true trick of the climate deniers, deselecting data that don't support your conclusions. scientists around the world have been collecting high-quality surface temperature data for more than 100 years. to dr. spencer, however, the only data that matters are satellite and balloon readings of atmospheric temperatures in the tropics. why ignore data outside the tropics? why ignore surface temperature data? why ignore ocean data when the ocean covers two-thirds of the globe? well, when you look at all the data, it shows the earth warming at a much faster rate than his data in isolation. other minority witnesses played similar games. miss furscott roth who is not a climate scientist, testified on this. she appears to be a sort of all-purpose witness of all trades for the republicans on topics that range from job training to health insurance to constitutional law, even to samoan fisheries. she claimed

dr. spencer, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for the opportunity. >>> we should mention we invited representatives from the three leading energy drinks companies to appear but they declined. the american beverage association has said in the past that data on e.r. visits do not include information on the overall health of the person who was hospitalized. >>> coming up like like like like. you can bet on seeing some pretty excited status updates from facebook shareholders. despite a rocky road the company's stock is suddenly skyrocketing. >>> we're more interested in how he helped buy a spy satellite. stay with us. [ male announcer ] these days, a small business can save by sharing. like carpools... polly wants to know if we can pick her up. yeah we can make room. yeah. [ male announcer ] ...office space. yes, we're loving this communal seating. it's great. [ male announcer ] the best thing to share? a data plan. at&t mobile share for business. one bucket of data for everyone on the plan unlimited talk and text on smart phones. now, everyone's in the spirit of sharing. hey, can i bor

dr. william spencer who, talked about his concern.n that. >> i really see our children being at risk. i see that they are being targeted by this seductive message. and i think that as i witness as a physician, the health impact and the increasing emergency room visits, that's what got me concerned. >> now dr. spencer wants these drinks classified as a drug and wants congress to stop companies from marketing to children. but the company who is testify today, they say their drinks are safe and that they don't market to children. let's listen to what monster energy drinks ceo said today. >> monster is and has always been committed to insuring that all of the ingredients in its energy drinks, including caffeine are safe and in regulatory compliance for their intended use. >> and i should add one more thing, wolf, red bull's vice president said a series of promises she made today, one of them is that red bull is not going to be buying advertising for any audiences that have 35% or more of people under 18. so that's where we stand today. an

dr. roy spencer of the university of alabama-huntsville said, and i will quote him -- "i don't deny that there has been warming. in fact, i don't even deny that some of the warming is due to mankind." in another interview, he said -- "i am one of those scientists who think that adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere should cause some amount of warming. the question is how much." another minority witness, dr. roger pelkey of the university of colorado, these are statements by the witnesses invited by the republican side. it is simply not credible inlonger to just deny climate change. the view that carbon emissions has caused climate change is shared by virtually every smisk association. from the geophysical union to the american meteorological society. but of course to the polluters, this isn't about the facts. it's about political power. they bought this clout and they're going to use it, facts be damned. the republican response to the president's climate plan even served up the old climategate fantasy. that's the faux scandal in which hacked emails between climate scientists were selec
