Weather Channel Rebukes Its Co-Founder On Climate Change

"The Weather Channel has released an official position statement on global warming, just two days after the channel’s co-founder told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly that climate change is based on “bad science” and does not exist.

In the statement, The Weather Channel said the planet is “indeed warming,” with temperatures increasing 1 to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 100 years. The statement acknowledged that humans are helping make the planet warmer due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It says the future effects of climate change will be more negative than positive.

“The bottom line is that with the rate of greenhouse gas emissions increasing, a significant warming trend is expected to also continue,” the Weather Channel’s statement reads."

6. Glad to hear that some still have integrity!

I can forgive someone for being stupid and ignorant, because ignorance is correctable. But integrity? Much more difficult to correct that problem. That guy knows perfectly well that climate change is for real, but he chooses to lie about the science, because his bank account holds his integrity hostage. Very sad, very sad.

4. I had read that this idiot has built himself

a multimillion dollar house on the beach in the Florida keys.
He will in all likelihood be one of the first to "discover" the effects of climate change.

5. This is the issue of our time, and maybe for all time! If we don't regain control of our political

system ASAP, so that we can take the necessary actions to save our planet, we are doomed! We need Publicly Funded Elections to do this! Once we have it, is imperative that we bust up the media oligopolies and get control of the message away from big business. The time for half measures and relying on our Democratic politicians to do this is past. They are owned, for the most part, by the same interests that own the Republicans.

7. Not everyone is doomed

The oligarchs will move to Switzerland, the Andes, the Himalayas, the Rockies, etc and control the water supply, and the temperate valleys for agriculture. Then they will sell us water. How's that for a conspiracy theory?

10. I read, lost in all the news of the previous decade or so;

The mega mega rich have 'chosen' Bolivia or some South America country to buy up vast areas (a9th century American west anyone?) and to influence future elections, etc...

11. Are you referring to Uruguay?

That's where the Bushes and their cronies have snatched up vast amounts of land.

9. So when does Megyn "Santa is white, he just is" Kelly interview a WC spokes person?

I am sure they will schedule that in short order.
