Parody or Does She Believe It? CNN Anchor Blames Asteroid on Global Warming By Brent Baker Created 02/09/2013 - 5:41pm

CNN anchor Deb Feyerick asked Saturday afternoon if an approaching asteroid, which will pass by Earth on February 15, “is an example of, perhaps, global warming?”

Moments earlier, before an ad break, she segued from the Northeast blizzard to a segment with Bill Nye “the science guy,” by pointing to global warming: “Every time we see a storm like this lately, the first question to pop into a lot of people’s minds is whether or not global warming is to blame? I’ll talk to Bill Nye, ‘the science guy,’ about devastating storms and climate change.”

Audio: MP3 clip

She never got to that question in the subsequent interview at about 3:25 PM EST during CNN Newsoom, instead transitioning from a snowfall update: “Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky and that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this an effect of, perhaps, of global warming or is this just some meteoric occasion?”

Nye resisted confirming her hypothesis.

A real scientist would have so thoroughly debunked it that she's be too embarrassed to ever suggest it again.

Of course it is; asteroids are tired of the bone-chilling cold of outer space. They want to go anywhere it's warm, or warming up. Expect to see more of them in these parts.

You know, Ms Feyerick, that the earth is essentially a molten planet with a very thin crust moving about its surface? There’s a much more thin atmosphere on that crust and a thin layer of water on that crust too. Do you think that perhaps the earth’s composition is important, too, along with the effect of that asteroid?

University of Michigan scientists have claimed that global warming causes an increased risk of asteroids striking the Earth, due to expansion of the atmosphere outward into space making the Earth a bigger "target".

On the contrary, a Box o' rocks is at least useful (boat anchor, garden decoration).

Why, yes. Yes, asteroids are caused by global warming! And, if you’re raising your kids to be as monumentally ignorant and poorly-educated as Deb Feyerick, your child, too, may grow up to be a national cable news anchor.

“I was only kidding” seems to be one if the more common things liberals say when called on their absurdities. I suppose when your entire world view is based upon absurdities there must be a frequent need to claim you were only kidding. I’d love to ask one of these “intellectuals” why they think the measured temperate on Mars seems to be rising. I’m guessing there would be some reference to SUVs.
