On Monday, Dr. David Agus injected the media's regular hype about climate change into CBS This Morning's coverage of the outbreak of Enterovirus D68 in the U.S. and the Ebola crisis in Africa. The morning show brought on Dr. Agus to discuss the polio-like virus that has afflicted children across the country. Near the end of the segment, anchor Charlie Rose wondered, "So we have Ebola virus in Africa, and we now have this virus [Enterovirus D68]. What's going on?"
The CBS medical contributor admitted that science didn't have any answers at this point, but that didn't stop him from wildly speculating:
DR. DAVID AGUS, USC PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE: Well, the world is flat – is that, you know, right now, anybody can get on a plane, and end up anywhere in this country and spread these viruses. And we have to be aware of it. We don't know exactly why there was a dramatic spread this year, but something is happening now. We have multiple viruses. And together with global climate change, things are changing in the virus world, and we have to pay attention.
This isn't the first time CBS has injected the climate change issue into a human tragedy. On the July 16, 2014 edition of CBS Evening News, during a news brief about the 20 injuries from severe turbulence on an international flight, anchor Scott Pelley played up a study that indicated "this kind of turbulence will increase significantly in the future because of climate change." Five months earlier, CBS This Morning promoted a "controversial book" that predicted that "winter sports could be doomed" due to global warming.
Back in November 2013, Pelley hyped how "greenhouse gases, which influence climate change, have hit their highest level in 800,000 years," according to a U.N. climate change report. Correspondent John Blackstone touted the supposed apocalyptic nature of this report, and asked a scientist if it was "too late" to do anything about climate change.
I hate to tell them but disease always follows migrations of people no matter what the weather is like.
Nothing.................
Way to put your credibility out there, Doc.
What’s scary is a significant portion of the population is Stupid/Dumb/Ignorant enough to believe this tripe.
But of course. Everything can be blamed on global warming.
Its all because Congress never passed Obama’s cap and trade bill...........
Viruses such as Ebola pay attention to acts of Congress.
There is something even scarier than the dumbed down masses believing this crap, and that is if the good doctor actually believed it himself.
“What’s going on?”
Ride of the Pale Horseman.
I about flipped out recently watching Dr. Oz while my mom was having some surgery. He went through a whole process, explaining kidney stones and watching the color of one’s urine to make sure enough water was consumed. Water consumption, he explained lessened the chances of kidney stones. He then went on to explain there are more chances of kidney stones because of climate change. Climate change means we sweat more, thus dehydrating us. Oh my, people used to work outdoors or non climate controlled buildings and had to live in un-air conditioned houses. Not many in America sweat for very long anymore. Why are all these people so deluded and what is their ultimate motive?? What a fool DOCTOR (smart person you know (sarc))Oz is.
UNFORTUNATELY we will never run out of these "none so blind" idjits.
So much media space to fill, so many idiots to fill the endless void.

LATEST CBS NEWS HEADLINE:
DR. DAVID AUGUS OVERCOME BY GORE’S GLOBAL FLATULENCE! NO HOPE FOR RECOVERY!
Not too many years ago the destruction of the rain forest was being blamed for these very same things. (Read “The Hot Zone” and its laughable conclusions.)
We apparently eliminated the rain forest destruction as the root of all evil just in time to squarely fix blame on the weather.
It’s so much easier to have one boogie man to blame at a time.
I can just imagine Scott Pelley eating this crap up on 60 minutes.
Anything for the extreme Socialists to destroy civilization by destroying freedom through the non-Science of the Man Made Global Warming Fable.
*What’s scary is a significant portion of the population is Stupid/Dumb/Ignorant enough to believe this tripe.*
I wonder how many thousands of Democrats would believe it if the CBS Climate Alarmists put his thumb between his fingers and said, “I got yer nose”?
I bet the CBS phones would be ringing off the hooks with viewers demanding to have their noses returned!
Ha! I read his name as Dr. David Anus.
The dollar symbol represents the $500 million or so that Al has already made on the hoax.
