Fox Still Falsely Claiming That Snow Disproves Global Warming

During their recent coverage of winter storms, Fox News has repeatedly mocked former Vice President Al Gore and cited the cold and snowy weather to attempt to discredit global warming. Fox News and other right-wing media routinely use snow to cast doubt on global warming, and internal emails from Fox News' Washington bureau show that in the past Fox employees have been instructed to question climate science.
Fox Uses Latest Snowstorm To Mock Gore, Climate Science
Doocy Asks: "I Wonder Where Al Gore Is This Morning?" On the January 27 broadcast of Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy reported from outside of Fox News' studios to show viewers how much snow fell in New York City during the previous evening's storm. During the segment, he asked, "I wonder where Al Gore is this morning?" He then added: "That global warming is really taking its toll. Isn't it?"
Fox Chyron: "What Global Warming?" During one segment about the recent snowstorm, Fox & Friends aired an on-screen graphic that read, "What Global Warming?"
Doocy Mocks Gore In Front Of Dancing Polar Bear. During another segment on the heavy snowfall, Fox & Friends mocked global warming by having a man in a polar bear costume appear on the sidewalk behind host Steve Doocy, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and lei. Laughing, Doocy remarked "Somewhere, Al Gore's got to be giggling right now." In response, co-host Brian Kilmeade added, "At least there's one polar bear left."
Fox Nation: "Hey Gore...Obama Motorcade Caught In Snowstorm." On January 27, Fox Nation linked to a Yahoo! News article titled, "Obama caught in Washington's wintry weather" with the headline, "Hey Gore...Obama Motorcade Caught In Snowstorm."

Well DUmmies the global warming scientists once told us that, snow would be a rare occurrence.
Meanwhile we are seeing record snow fall. So therefore either the scientists were wrong about the affects of GW or they were wrong that there is GW.

1. again
what, is it winter?
Their target audience is stupid. Oh, wait, that's not news either.
But, yet a hot day in August is undeniable proof that the earth is overheated.

6. the correct phrase is actually "global climate change" the phrase "global warming"
is something of a red herring, because it's not specifically warming, but regions changing climate, both hot and cold.
Here's a question, over the entire period that the earth has existed has ever summer been the same temp, has every winter been the same? Or does it vary from year to year? Scientists tell us of climate change well before the first SUV rolled off the assembly line, well before the first coal fired electric plant was on the drawing board.
We have had ice ages, we have periods of warming. You could ban any burning of anything and force us all into caves and in 100 years the weather patterns will change then in another 100 years they will change again.

7. Alright....that's it...I'm just gonna' beat the shit out of these people.
2 reasons....One, to beat some sense into them and two...just because. :) :)
There's not much worse than Idiots (trying) to make fun of Intelligent people.
The damage done by these fools is catastrophic.
Yep no violence from the left.

The East Anglia memos disprove the theory of Globull Warming.

I was thinking about this as I took note that we got another couple of inches of snow last night.
But hey, it's scientific fact, right? The earth's getting warmer and the Republicans are to blame for everything ::)
Junk science is filling the role that superstition did in centuries past.

BTW, the OP forgot that the left changed the name yet again, it's no longer Globull Warming, it's now Climate Change.

I thought Obama had gone a step further and caled it "Climate Interuption" or some such BS?

They're getting closer and closer. One day they're going to start calling it Global Climate and ring the bell FTW. :-)

Hmmmm.....what about all those liberal comedians making cracks about globull warming and wondering where Al Gore is?
Every late night talk show host has been doing it for the last 2 months!

Climate science??
Calling the global warming scam a "science" is an insult to real science.
-
Ah...what the hell was Media Matter's point in their big article. Exactly what their point is in EVERY article their dunderheads write up. To bash the right to make themselves look SMART! They fail, because other than bashing the right, they did absolutely nothing else. Bashing does not equal intelligence. Hanging on to this "Whatever it's called now" myth does not equal intelligence.
Media Matters: Facts melt in their mouth.

Did they change it again?

Anyone that buys into the GW meme might as well live in the middle ages.

Jeese...
When I was a kid we called it the four seasons...

Oh really DUmmie? You know what is news though? How DUmmies and liberals all still believe in globull warming after all the evidence shown and the scientists that say it doesn't exist. Now, that's news. :wink:
