More than half of television weather reporters are climate deniers [View all]

Forecast The Facts Exposes America’s Climate-Denier TV Weathermen
By Brad Johnson on Jan 20, 2012 at 2:57 pm

America’s television meteorologists are the primary source of climate information for most Americans, and are second only to scientists — who have much less access to the general public — in the level of trust they are given. Yet more than half of TV weather reporters don’t believe in human-induced climate change, even as our poisoned weather grows more extreme.

At the link you will find many ignorant words from the people reporting the weather on your nightly news, here are just a few choice quotes.

“I have always thought we should celebrate and be thankful we live in a time when it is warmer, not curse it. It allows us to grow food and feed the population — and the warming is slow and we can adapt to it.”
- Jym Ganahl

“If you don’t believe in God and creationism then I can see why you would easily buy into the whole global warming fanfare. I think in many ways that’s what this movement is ultimately out to do – rid the mere mention of God in any context. What these environmentalists are actually saying is “we know more than God – we’re bigger than God – God is just a fantasy – science is real…He isn’t…listen to US!” I have a huge problem with that.”
- Chris Allen

“It is pretty widely accepted that the earth has been cooling for the past several years"
- Dave Dahl
KSTP-TV Minneapolis, MN


These are the people the corporate media has chosen to teach Americans about climate.
