How unseasonably hot would it have to become for local television weather people to even mention the possibility of global warming and climate change as the cause? I’ve never heard any of them do it even once.
With the recent escalation and severity of storms we’ve seen so far this year alone, it seems they might be slightly curious about the reason.
Are TV stations so in the pocket of big oil and industries that pollute that they are afraid, or even worse, forbidden to even mention why the weather is the way it is? Those who have bought into the right-wing repudiation of science and deny what is happening to our planet, and deny why it is happening, are just like those who say cigarette smoking doesn’t cause cancer, that the Earth is flat, and that the emperor really is wearing a complete and stylish new wardrobe.

Warmists are our modern day witch burners. They see trends and patterns which don’t exist, and then find demons to blame them on. James Hansen is their cult leader.
“HEAT WAVE IN AMERICA.
A heat wave is sweeping over Tennessee, and already five deaths have been reported as due to the heat. The shade temperature is 98 deg. Fah.”

What can one expect from the flat landers out West in Memphis. Some in the East do not consider that to be a part of the state. It is more like Mississippi that Tennessee.
Guess what, Mr. Palmer. We have had warm spells and storms since the beginning of time. They are not a result of a right wing conspiracy.
