On Monday, Fox News host Shepard Smith accused the GOP of making climate change a “political issue,” declaring “it’s science.”
Mediaite picked up those comments from Smith, who reported on the recently released government climate change report. The report predicted that rising temperatures could cost the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars and cause premature deaths, including deaths from starvation, mosquito-borne disease, heat exhaustion, flooding, and other natural disasters by the year 2090. The report urges action to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
“Heat waves are getting stronger, floods are growing larger, wildfires are obliterating more of America’s landscape. It’s because of climate change that’s largely man-made. Our burning of fossil fuels is damaging planet Earth, and the time to stop it is running out,” Smith said.
“By the end of the century, climate change could shrink the U.S. economy by hundreds of billions of dollars,” he continued. “That is the warning in a new report released on Friday, ahead of schedule, by the Trump administration.”
Smith summarized several of the report’s findings and attacked Republicans.
“The climate science is accepted science,” Smith said. “Governments across the nation are spending billions preparing for what is to come. The U.S. military, too, billions of dollars. This is not a political issue. It’s science. But some have made it political — especially Republicans. And as a result, a lot of folks have missed this report. It was dropped, as I said, ahead of schedule, on Black Friday, when a lot of Americans are busy shopping, eating Thanksgiving leftovers,

Is Shepard Smith interested in reporting on the criticisms of the government’s report? Or is his definition of “fair and balanced” attacking Republicans for refusing to implement new government policies in response to climate alarmism?

Enough already. A goberment report? Funded by??? Think it likely that a goberment written report is going to find anything but the certainty of globull warming—thus perpetuating a zillion goberment and contractor jobs to counter this bogus crisis?
Pack of woof.
“Six hundred years ago it was accepted science that the world was flat.
Well no.
It was accepted science 2000 years ago that the world was round.”
It is possible for something to be both flat and round-like a pancake.
Yup if people understood “science” they wouldn’t say the moronic statement Shep Pudsucker Smith said.
So Mr. Buttgrease is somehow an expert?
This man has disgusted me long before he came out. He just keeps getting worse. I think he came out thinking FNC wouldn’t fire a homo.
The U.S. has 300 million citizens and 30 million illegals.
The burden of the planet is not to be born by those
versus 7 billion souls on the planet.
Line up your 7 billion ducks, then we’ll talk.
A guy that majored in journalism but never graduated declaring climate change to be “accepted science” and telling us we need to sabotage our economy because of it.
Got it, I’ll get right on it.
I’ve said it before; the 1st time I heard of Man Caused Climate blah blah, I was told it was already settled science. It was such an egregiously ridiculous pronouncement that I immediately knew the whole thing was just a flaming bag of crap. Similar in many respects to Shep.
Shemp is an embarrassment, Fox is part of the Ministry of Propaganda
These people need a serious boot in the ass.
Smith attended the University of Mississippi, where he majored in journalism, but left two credits away from graduation.
Yep, he’s an expert on climate and meteorology, a great scientist.
....taken more balls off the chin than Yogi Berra
She’s really showing what a leftist bitch she can be .....
Shemp, the truth is always beyond politics. The truth is,
Global Warming is something that humans will never solve and the lie is the politicians who line their pockets by saying they can.
This is why you shouldn’t get your news from homosexuals.
I was going to say to Shep “Assume the position” but he already beat me to it.
He’s a total waste as a reporter for FOX. His biases and ignorance are getting worse. Time to send him to MSNBC where he belongs.
Great retort to being called science deniers
Shemp Smith is Lachlin and Jimmie Murdock’s FAVORITE reporter.
Shemp was Roger Ailes’ favorite, too.
“Shep is a premier journalist and one of the finest newsmen of the modern era,” said Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. “He will exemplify the ethos that FOX News is when and where the news is, as it happens, no longer bound by a traditional evening format conceived in the 1960’s.”
