CNN's Sciutto on climate change: 'We don’t want to be slowly burned to death'

CNN anchor Jim Sciutto issued a stark warning on Wednesday morning against the effects of climate change, stating during a newscast that "we don't want to be slowly burned to death."

“I just want to ask the question for folks at home, folks like us. We got kids. We don’t want to be slowly burned to death on our own planet here," said Sciutto, who served in the Obama State Department prior to coming to CNN. "Is the human race running - in the simplest terms running out of time to take the measures necessary to rein in this rise in global temperatures?"

Did I miss anything?

Yes, be a climate denier and you'll be all set.

Right now it’s too cold and wet to burn

“I just want to ask the question for folks at home, folks like us. We got kids. We don’t want to be slowly burned to death on our own planet here," said Sciutto, who served in the Obama State Department prior to coming to CNN. "Is the human race running - in the simplest terms running out of time to take the measures necessary to rein in this rise in global temperatures?"

Same thing was said before the last ice ages.

LOL! I kill me sometimes.

I think it might come down to actual warfare with these idiots.

'We don’t want to be slowly burned to death'

Hmmm... A napalm enema can be arranged to help prevent that...

We very well could be entering another 400yrs of Maunder Minimum, as early as 2025, due to a paucity of sunspots. The globe will cool, not heat-up. When the Thames and NY Harbor freeze solid, crops won’t grow, etc, they’ll still blame it on global warming.

There was an earlier article on FR, a few days ago, about the coming Mini-Ice-Age.

There is not enough carbon on Earth in combustible form to make enough CO2 to cause temperature rises such that we could be “slowly burned to death”. It is unlikely we could, no matter how hard we tried, even get back to a climate similar to that which the dinosaurs enjoyed (except maybe at the very end of their reign.)

Notably, the era of the dinosaurs was QUITE favorable to life on Earth... ...unless some of the other life ate you, of course, but needing to avoid being eaten is, historically, usually the case.

Where he’s going, it’s going to be “fire down below” for eternity.

Jim Sciutto probably does not know how to run an air conditioner for the upcoming heat wave.

[jonrick46]

Now the talk is we are entering a solar cooling. They better earn their retirement money now before their scam is hit with reality.

In a few billion years the sun will expand to a red giant stage and will completely envelop the earth. Those will be REALLY hot days, but don’t tell CNN...they couldn’t handle it.

[trebb]

I think he’s relating glo-bull warming with all the burns he feels from trump’s slap-downs...

[Bonemaker]

“Everyone at GSSC should be prosecuted along with their accomplices around the world.”

Those found guilty summarily executed.

[Go Gordon]

Does he imagine “global warming” to be measured in hundreds of degrees? Even if you believe this garbage, even the most rabid admit it is only a couple of degrees.

Actually, its been .8 degrees over the last 100 years. Since 1998, it has actually cooled. If one were into trends, he should be investing in parka manufacturers.

[Terry Mross]

I’m not worried about being burned to death. I’m more concerned about burning AFTER death.

What's the change in temperature flying from St. Paul in early September, to Phoenix?

Not burning to death, yet. Except for teh Stupid, *it* burns.
