Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At the Amaz!ng Meeting 6 in Las Vegas, NV. Penn & Teller were asked

"Where do you see the line between being an environmentalist whacky and being reasonably concerned about the environment, and how much do you think we should change our lifestyle for the sake of the environment."

Penn's reply came upon some criticism on a blog over at news week. It appears that the question and Penn's response was a bit misrepresented by the poster. It was stated on the news week blog as:

"Someone asked Penn whether he still believed that man-made climate change is bunk, as he has said more than once. Penn's basic answer was: I loathe everything about Al Gore, so since Gore has been crusading against climate change it must be garbage."

More was mentioned about it on that blog so for those interested in reading it you can go to: http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/labnotes/archive/2008/06/27/penn-teller-and-believing-in-dumb-things.aspx

Penn Jillette prepared a response to this criticism which was posted on the LA Times website at: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-jillette3-2008jul03,0,2324899.story and we invite you to read up on that as well.

So in order to clear things up a bit we have prepared this video so everyone can see and hear the question and Penn Jillette's actual response.
