They are buying this fraud, and they are trying to re-sell it to their viewership.
Why? Grants. This topic is getting funds for grants from the US government, from the EU, from the UN. Even Homeland Security Department is making available $$millions in grants to study Global Warming. Grants become lucrative endeavors.
It was Global Cooling in the 70s. It has been Global Warming for a while. And when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, they call it Global Climate Change. [Mother Nature has been been changing climate, twice a year, for eons. It slowly gets cold — it’s called winter. It slowly gets hot — it’s called summer.]
I hate what has become of the Weather Channel. I watched for an hour the other night waiting for the 7 day forecast, and all they had on was a show about a snowmobile accident. Then on Sunday before church, they ran through the 7 day so fast with a mini map so they could do a Home Depot feature about applying deck cleaner. The content to commercial ratio is sky high, and when they do have ‘content’ it is full of these ‘stealth commercials’. They cover global warming, weather stories, golf course stuff, allergy count, traffic reports, in short, everything but the weather.
