A Koch-financed study of climate data, which many on the right agreed to accept no matter the outcome, just concluded that global warming is real and the scientific consensus is legit.
But it snowed yesterday in parts of the Northeast, so we once again have to deal with nonsense like this:
From Eric Bolling’s Twitter feed:
“Hey A Gore…earliest snow in NYC since the Civil War…where’s your global warming now, see?:
Last night on his Fox Business program, Bolling also pointed to the snowstorm to try to rebut climate change. On-screen text during the segment read, “Global Warming: A Scam?”
Ari Fleischer, recently hired by CNN to be one of the more respectable Republican voices, went there, too.
“This is freaky. The temp is dropping & the snown is sticking like crazy. Al Gore – get rewrite”
Does every freak snow storm have to bring out the worst in climate deniers? Is all of this really necessary?
