CNN's 7-Hour Climate Town Hall Extravaganza Cheered by Activists
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 8/28/19 | Jeremy Barr

Posted on 08/31/2019 10:44:17 AM PDT by Libloather

Organizations that advocate for the health of the climate and the urgency of global warming are praising CNN after the network announced that its climate-focused town halls next week will run for seven hours.

On Sept. 4, the network will broadcast 10 back-to-back town halls with Democratic presidential candidates focused on climate change, running from 5 p.m. ET to midnight. Network anchors and hosts Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Erin Burnett will do the questioning.

"Tackling the climate crisis is one of the top polling issues among voters this election, which is why it is important that CNN is doing the right thing and devoting so much time to a conversation that the public wants to hear," said Adam Beitman, a spokesman for the Sierra Club. "The network deserves kudos. We’re hopeful that this is just the start of CNN and other TV news outlets devoting much more airtime to the climate crisis, which threatens the health and safety of communities across the country."

**SNIP**

Many climate advocacy organizations are displeased, however, that the Democratic National Committee has not agreed to host a climate-focused candidate debate. "CNN has stepped up where [chairman] Tom Perez and the DNC deliberately dropped the ball," said CREDO Action campaign manager Jelani Drew-Davi. "Seven hours of content focused on the climate crisis is huge for over half a million grassroots activists who pushed the DNC for an official climate debate."

Joe better go first. When the sun goes down, Joe is not at his best.

I honestly don't believe Joe has Alzheimers; his recent memory seems somewhat intact, with a few glitches now and then.

I believe he honestly has some kind of dementia but not Alzheimer's ; that would be to hard to cover up, and would be very noticeable even to people not familiar with Alzheimers. - Tom

Has CNN legally committed to NOT use any electrical energy generated from “fossil fuels” for its broadcast?

Have the “speakers” committed to only “speak” when the Sun is shining and/or the wind is blowing?

Why not?

Joe probably has common garden variety senile dementia, similar to my Mom, except my Mom is 91 years old. Typical symptoms include loss of memory, especially short term memory, both of which lead to a steady state of confusion.

Also, old people with dementia don’t think they have it, and they regularly deny that anything important has changed with their cognitive abilities.

Seven hours of headache inducing depression on a hoax most people have already or are finally cluing into. Great idea, CNN! That'll help the ratings. Plus, Democrats and other room temp IQ's will be jamming he Suicide Help Lines and, for those who can't get through, morgues.

S'all good, man.

The only thing lacking in the climate change debate is actual science.

The thermosphere cooling has nothing to do with the warming troposphere. As the article says it is caused by the solar minimum. The troposphere will respond to the solar minimum as well, but with a lag since the solar minimum mainly causes less heat in the oceans.

The John Nolte (Breitbart) link is great and the USCRN link is correct, there has been no US warming since 2005.

Seven hours of can-you-top-this. I won't be watching it, but I love it.

I am looking forward to a bumper crop of screwball soundbites.

Just scratching the surface with the Climate Change/Global Warming myths....

Czech President Says Global Warming Activists Aim to Stop Global Economic Development
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 By Matt Cover

Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, listens as he is introduced by Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia University, in New York, Monday March 9, 2009. Klaus delivered a keynote address titled "Europe, Global Warming and the Current Economic Crisis: As Seen from Prague," at the Columbia University World Leaders Forum.( AP photo) (CNSNews.com) – Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, told the International Conference on Climate Change that the true aim of environmentalists is to stop global development, not save the planet.

Klaus, an economist by trade and a skeptic of the theory of man-made global warming, delivered the keynote speech to an audience of more than 600, including 75 scientists, economists, and environmental policy experts, as the conference got underway in New York City on Sunday.

“Their true plans and ambitions: to stop economic development and return mankind centuries back,” he declared. “It is evident that the environmentalists don’t want to change the climate. They want to change our behavior. Their ambition is to control and manipulate us.”

New Green Plan?.....for eons this old earth has warmed and cooled for all kinds of reasons...NOT made by man. The wealth generated by these frauds for themselves is telling....

Truth and truth based facts typically only require a few sentences.

Juggling lies does require a lot of work and a lifetime of patches, excuses and bolt-ons.
