The Weather Channel Publicly Calls Out Breitbart For Claiming Global Warming Isn’t Real
mediaite.com ^ | 12/6/2016 | Lindsey Ellefson

“Last week, Breitbart dot com published an article claiming that global warming was nothing but a scare and global temperatures were actually falling, Problem is, they used a compeltely unrelated video about La Nina — with my face in it! — to attempt to back their point,” said meteorologist Kait Parker, in her scathing takedown.

Before listing step-by-step how and why Breitbart’s article is all wrong, she said, “Here’s the thing: science doesn’t care about your opinion. Cherry-picking and twisting the facts will not change the future, nor the fact — note: fact, not opinion — that the earth is warming.”

Just like any ‘theory’ it is not real.

It is only a ‘theory’ until it is proved otherwise.

And the emails uncovered proved it was based on scientific HOAX.

As a scientist, there are different levels of bad.

1) looking at data and making incorrect assessment. THIS IS NORMAL And EXPECTED and it is why you have peer-review. Everyone can make a mistake. You can fix it and learn something.

2) Ignoring data that does not fit your pre-defined notions or desired conclusions. This is scientific fraud, and you should be fired for it. But other people can see the entire data set and fix it.

3) Deleting data that does not fit the theory that you want.
This is horrifying- because you cannot fix it. The data is gone. Your results are incorrect, but you deleted any data that did not agree, in order to make it look correct.
This forces people to act on incorrect data, spending billions of dollars, on false claims. Doing the opposite of what needs to be done. This should result in jail time.

The scientists that perpetrated the Global Warming (now in new and improved “climate change”) deleted data that did not fit the theory they wanted. And they corrupted the data that they DID have to exxagerate results (the ‘hockey stick’ graph.)

Given one of the founders of the Weather Channel has basically said the same thing... I think I’ll not worry about what the Weather Channel which makes money off promoting this thing has to say...

"The Weather Channel—they’re the ones that give silly names to snowstorms."

Fake science. Fake weather. Flake propaganda.

While he can’t clean house at The Weather Channel, I hope he does at NASA. The original Space Race vs. the USSR was real and had some military implications to it while the race to colonize Mars seems to be based on the human race’s failure to “save the planet” and to save ourselves from ourselves. A manned mission to Mars shouldn’t need to have a false pretense for supporting it’s overall justification and feasibility. Climate change is just something to observe and monitor because it’s more interesting than it is a global crisis. It will happen no matter what we do here on this planet. When we go to Mars, we should be going simply because it is there. If we were to go under false pretenses, it would forever be on the wrong side of history.

I just go to weather.gov every morning with my zip code to get the 7 day forecast. They are very accurate for at least the next 48 hours.

I think that all of the commercial outlets get their raw data from there.

It is actually a good use of tax dollars because the infrastructure of NOAA (buoys, satellites, etc.) generates raw data from all over the world and would be very expensive for a commercial organization to replicate.

Just my opinion.

Here we go again.

Intentionally leaving out the ONLY part of the subject that is in contention - anthropological caused global warming.

Intentionally leaving this out to frame the dissenters of anthropological caused global warming as if they are stupid and don’t believe the climate changes ever.

Good post about how you can fudge data and commit fraud in the scientific method.

It would be nice to know if any other planets orbiting a star also have temperature changes. Cause we didn’t do that. We already know the Dinos weren’t burning fossil fuels. Wonder if they blamed their climate changes on each other too...

We are supposed to have record lows overnight in Atlanta

Hurricane season a bust. Tornado season a bust. Sunspot activity at a standstill.

It ain’t global warming we need to worry about. Think mini ice age

"....twisting the facts will not change the future...."

Climate "Science" is incapable of predicting the future.

The weather channel was started by John Coleman who was a meteorologist popular in Chicago in the 1970’s....he does not believe in global warming but he sold the company eons ago...it was an idea whose time has come and like the dinosaur that it is...perhaps its its time to go.
Let me put it this way for you folks at weather channel.
In the beginning GOD created...the Bible from very first verse until the end in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is THEOPOMORPHIC...based on God being the center AND the Creator and sustainer.
Mankind by his nature to be in rebellion is ANTHROPOMORPHIC...giving man the puffed up importance of being at the center an in control.
That being said the SUN and other factors control climate on earth...not farting dairy cows in calif.
If you don’t get that weather channel one day you will be buried under a pile of your own created poo and we will have moved on
you are dismissed...

Those very, very bad at math, with egos the size of Jupiter, think that this pin prick speck on a 100-mile beach called Man on this huge planet can actually affect the climate.

"Weather channel has been in nbc/msnbc’s back pocket for some time now."

...and yet the founder of Weather Channel is former Chicago forecaster, John Coleman and he knows climate change is a big hoax.

The weather channel? You mean the “SCIENTISTS” who can’t accurately predict the next hour’s weather?

You mean the “SCIENTISTS” who couldn’t decide between global warming and global cooling, so they had to change the meme to “climate change”?

You mean the “SCIENTISTS” who conflate “man made” climate change with plain old “climate change” because “climate change” is REAL and “man made” climate change ISN’T.

The global climate has ALWAYS been changing and it will ALWAYS continue to change, BUT MAN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

It is beyond PREPOSTEROUS.... (contrary to reason or common sense; utterly absurd or ridiculous, absurd, ridiculous, foolish, stupid, ludicrous, farcical, laughable, comical, risible, nonsensical, senseless, insane; outrageous, monstrous.)....

that puny, insignificant, humans could possibly affect GLOBAL climate.

Even IF humans could, (which they CAN’T), why don’t they realize that “mother nature” (There is no “mother nature”, only Father God) can take care of itself.

BP oil spill, where did all the (200 MILLION gallons) of oil go? BACTERIA ATE IT!

Ocean currents (not man) control much of our weather. What controls them?

“Why Do Currents Flow?”

“Currents exist at all depths in the ocean; in some regions, two or more currents flow in different directions at different depths. Although the current system is complex, ocean currents are driven by two forces: the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.”

Complex? Read THIS!
Read more: http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Mi-Oc/Ocean-Currents.html#ixzz4SATER9fH

Do or can, humans control the sun and the rotation of the earth?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Man made “climate change” is a HOAX, in other words “FAKE NEWS”.

Actually, it's owned by Comcast which makes it a sister network of MSNBC but no matter. It still sucks.

I actually prefer the local weather channel on cable TV.

Sorry, but The Weather Channel is owned by Comcast, along with CNBC, MSNBC and all the other NBC properties, plus Bravo, E!, USA, SyFy, Telemundo, Golf Channel, Universal Studios, Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, Fandango and the Philadelphia Flyers.

CNN is a Time-Warner entity.
