Exposed: The Climate of Fear (Exposed) was an hour-long episode of the Glenn Beck show highlighting the skeptic's perspective on the global warming controversy, originally aired May 2 2007 on CNN Headline News. In the episode, Beck, a conservative radio and television host, says that the program presents the "other side of the climate debate that you don't hear anywhere." Participants interviewed by Beck concur that the Earth is warming, but disagree with the scientific consensus that human activity is largely responsible. Exposed is highly critical of Al Gore and his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. This special is also heavily critical of the Kyoto Protocol and downplays concern over global warming as a whole, claiming that many scientists disagree with the scientific consensus but do not state their criticism publicly due to fear of career reprisals.
The episode reportedly finished in last place in the ratings for its timeslots.
Episode content and claims
In his opening remarks, Beck says, "I want you to know right up front, this is not a balanced look at global warming. It is the other side of the climate debate that you don't hear anywhere."
In the show Beck strongly criticizes the Kyoto Protocol, calling it an "expensive and unfunny joke" and claiming that it unfairly restricts developed nations while permitting developing nations greater leeway. He also encourages construction of nuclear power plants, blaming "environmental panic" for the lack of such facilities in the U.S.
Media Matters for America noted that Beck often cites debunked scientists to support his claims, repeatedly advances "falsehoods related to global climate change", and has a history of attacking Gore. Beck has likened Gore's climate change awareness campaign to Hitler's "rounding up the Jews and exterminating them." Media Matters also wrote that the episode's ratings were poor, finishing in last place in both the 7 PM and 9 PM timeslots behind regularly scheduled newscasts on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.
Beck's claims regarding global warming led MSNBC analyst Keith Olbermann to list Beck as a finalist on his daily "Worst Person in the World" segment, noting that Beck's claims did not agree with scientific data.

Dark Iron is a rare type of iron in Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG World of Warcraft. Dark Iron is used in high level crafting, mostly by and . It is only found in Blackrock Mountain, Burning Steppes, and now in Searing Gorge as a drop or . Furthermore it can only be smelted in the furnace in the bottom of Blackrock Depths (8 ore to 1 ingot), near the entrance to the Molten Core. The only place to smith or engineer Dark Iron items is the Black Anvil guarded by Lord Incendus. To acquire the knowledge to smelt it one must bring a tribute of 20 gold bars, 10 Truesilver bars, and 2 Star Rubies to the tomb in BRD and make an offering (before one engages the ghosts in combat!).

Jennifer Levin (May 21, 1968 – August 26, 1986) was an eighteen-year-old woman who was killed by nineteen-year-old Robert Chambers in New York City's Central Park on 26 August 1986. The case became sensational and divisive.
Ms. Levin and Mr. Chambers knew each other and dated briefly. Known in some news reports as "The Preppie Murder," both came from privileged backgrounds. Ms. Levin had been born on Long Island and lived in California briefly following her parents' divorce. She graduated from the Baldwin School, a private school in the Upper East Side neighborhood. She worked as a waitress and planned to begin studies at Chamberlayne Junior College (now part of Mount Ida College) in Boston later that year.
A cyclist spotted Ms. Levin's body two hours after she and Mr. Chambers left a fashionable nightclub. She was nearly naked and showed wounds consistent with strangulation. Mr. Chambers explained the deep scratches on his face as cat scratches to police investigators. He claimed she had raped him. Physical evidence was not consistent with his story. Nor was their substantial difference in height and weight. His good looks won him a measure of public sympathy until a videotape from a later private party became public. He appeared to be reenacting the crime by twisting a doll's head from its body while four young women wearing only underwear cavorted around him.
Robert Chambers was tried for second degree murder. Under a plea bargain agreement entered into in the midst of jury deliberations during his trial, he pled guilty to, and served out a fifteen year prison sentence for, first degree manslaughter. He was released from prison on 14 February, 2003.
