CNN Anchor Blames Asteroid on Global Warming
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/09/2013 9:28:33 PM PST by chessplayer

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.”

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?”

Ignorance can be addressed by education, but the only hope for stupid is a job in tele-journalism.

She's about as dim as a 250 Watt floodlight being powered by a 1 1/2 volt AAA battery.

ConservativeInPA: “But it is also possible that Moochelle’s fat ass affects the course of asteroids and her diet contributes to the creation of global warming gasses, much in the same way as cows.”

A fat ass could be considered a point mass which may not have a measurable impact on the course of asteroids, but it would definitely have some sort of impact. The same thing goes with global warming gasses. The impact may be insignificant compared to other factors, but yes, her farts contribute to global warming.

I like to the think of the Earth as one giant electrical circuit. Everything’s connected. The isolation between parts may be phenomenally high in some cases, but nothing is ever completely separated electrically from everything else. As the quote from Serenity goes: “You can’t stop the signal, Mal.”

I want to believe that she meant it as parody — but, she’s had so much work done on her face that she couldn’t get the facial expression right.

What a maroon!

But then again, maybe she’s a typical global warming believer? Thinks things happening in the earth’s atmosphere can affect stuff out near or beyond geosynchronous orbit.

Asteroids and global warming? Only if global warming is caused by.... THE SUN, which can affect asteroids, maybe even their orbits, most likely moving them a bit farther from the sun.

CNN = Cretin Nincompoops Network

Just when you think you have heard the dumbest thing in the world, somehow they top it.

Is a meteoric event a phenomenon associated with a meteor? Or is it something else. Let’s tune in to CNN to find out.

Michelle’s *ss isn’t THAT large.

It only seems that way because light bends around it.

But, does it bend space, time and dimension?

It’s a meteoric occasion! And it’s going to be fabulous! Why does she say “just some meteoric occasion” in such a disparaging way?

Reminds me of the dem congressman who was worried the military was going to move so much materiel to an island that it might capsize.


Or the one who wondered if the Mars rovers were going to travel over to the Apollo landing sites on the Moon to take pictures of our flags.

Thanks chessplayer. This is an extra, extra to APoD and Catastrophism lists. It looks like a joke, but the absurdly stupid don’t joke.

Black holes do.

Did she use a /sarc tag? Imply one? If not, I wonder how someone that stupid manages to breathe...

Can stupid be so dense that it creates a black hole? Probably not, otherwise Deb Feyerick’s level of stupid would have resulted in the Earth being sucked into one.

It's not Global Warming, it's the BIG MAGNET under Santa's House at the North Pole.

It attracts Meteors like Obama attracts flies.
