Plus they pit him against Brian Stelter. He's even more useless than your average CNN hack.

Zero qualifications? Nope. He was an accepted and award-winning member of the AMS.

Not much different than blaming a flood on sinners and disbelievers. You don't BELIEVE in climate change? blasphemer!

Let me pull a page from your book:

You are not a scientist, he is and not only is he a educated scientist, but he is a founder of one of the main weather sources in the world.

So, who are you to even question him? Isn't that what you folks say? Appeals to authority? You have the audacity to call him a denier when your education isn't even worth licking the boots of him? Go ahead, spin your way out of that one, and remember... you are the one who promotes "appeals to authority" and uses politically charged words like "denier" to spread your hate.

Default Opinion of real scientists

It's sad that climate change deniers latch on to any flake to ignore the immense environmental threat facing our planet, while belittling real scientists.

Prominent climate change denier now admits he was wrong (+video) - CSMonitor.com

Climate change deniers never talk about the impacts to the oceans, where a huge portion of the human protein supply is at risk. Ocean warming and acidification are measured, empirical facts.

Northwest Oyster Die-offs Show Ocean Acidification Has Arrived - Yale E360

Climate change deniers also ignore the great damage to our environment that already is evident.

Having a climate change denier in the White House is tragic, because even the Democrats are wimps when it comes to climate change.

Climate is not the same thing as weather. There's a reason why climatology and meteorology are different, yet related disciplines. Not like he's actually studied either one, his degree is in media studies and he hasn't published anything related to the climate.

I am allergic to shellfish. You want to eat cockroaches of the ocean, your problem.


Plus I am nowhere near the ocean so I don't give a rats ass.


The earth heats and cools periodically.

Climate is not weather is a political talking point.

That's been used as a talking point as well. Just because something's a talking point doesnt mean it's untrue.

so apparently scientists who recognize the fact that the earth heats and cools periodically, and does so naturally, are not scientists but hacks to the alarmists, but only because they go against what the alarmists believe.

also one thing i have never understood, if we properly break down the word "meteorology" it is the study of meteors. and what is a meteor? it is a rock floating in space. so how does studying a rock floating in space let us know what the weather on this planet is going to be? and then we wonder why weather reporters can never truly predict the weather.
