Pat Robertson: Five Feet of Snow In Boston This Month Disproves Climate Change

An exasperated Pat Robertson challenged President Obama and 99 percent of climate scientists over their belief in climate change today since, after all, the televangelist explained, it is snowing in Boston. Robertson claimed that the Boston snowstorm helps prove that climate change is a myth created by scientists who have been manipulating data, even though climate change has actually been linked to growing storm intensity. “The president goes in an interview with Vox, whatever that is, and said our real challenge is not ISIS, it’s not terrorists, it is global warming,” Robertson said. “Go to Boston, Mr. President.” - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/pat-robertson-snow-boston-disproves-climate-change#sthash.xhCh6E2t.dpuf

with a law degree from Yale. The down home common folk touch is all an act. He's worse than the bumpkins he preaches to. He knows the truth but he wants the money.

I live in the northeast and told my husband we'd have to go to Montana to get warm - the map said it was 58 degrees there. Now that's climate change.
