CNN anchor suggests meteor hurtling toward Earth could be a result of global warming

A CNN anchor has asked on live television whether a meteor hurtling past Earth might have been caused by global warming.

Deborah Feyeric made the faux pas when she transitioned from a discussion about global warming and the blizzard that struck to east coast into a a segment about Asteroid 2012 DA14 - which is projected to pass just 17,200 miles from Earth on Friday.

'We want to bring in our science guy, Bill Nye, and talk about something else that’s falling from the sky, and that is an asteroid,' Feyerick says. 'What’s coming our way? Is this the effect of, perhaps, global warming? Or is this just some meteoric occasion?'

Nye, who has an engineering degree from Cornell University, tries to cut Feyerick off before she even finishes asking the question.

'No, no, no,' he says.

For a moment, he fumbles to answer the ridiculous question.

Obviously a graduate in Blonde Women's Studies...

Why not, I believe Bill Nye’s degrees are primarily in broadcasting.

[RJS1950]

You mean both of them? Makes sense and explains a lot.

[GSWarrior]

Because the gods are angry at us humans.

Feyerick has a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from Columbia University. In her spare time, she likes to write about life as a working mom. She speaks French and once delivered a cow while on assignment.

Seriously? Geez.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Broadcasting?

The bow tie threw me.

[EricT.]

As far as I can tell, Bill Nye only has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and worked at Boeing on minor improvements to hydraulic systems.

But I guess this qualifies him to speak about Climate Scientology*...

*Scientology and AGW are very similar religions.

Next, they’ll say the only way to stop the meteor from striking the Earth is to raise the debt ceiling.

Anything in that bio about being able to open a beer can with her chin???

[MrB]

That would be the only “logical” explanation, since a meteor is independent of the climate of the earth.

I would have liked to have heard “the science guy” ask her what cause/effect relationship was in her mind on this one.

I follow Joe Bastardi on twitter. He says Bill Nye is a nice enough guy but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he’s a charlatan who promotes false climate science.

[who knows what evil?]

For crying out loud, people...'Bill Nye, Science Guy' had its origins as a COMEDY SKETCH on Seattle's 'Almost Live!' COMEDY program back in the early 90's...how about Bill Nye as SUPERHERO 'Speed Walker'; saving Seattle's Kingdome from a 'mad bomber'. Click here, and you will never take Bill Nye seriously again as long as you live.

He's a COMEDIAN, folks.

[exit82]

Why does she remind me of a Vicks cough drop?

[Proud2BeRight]

Just another low information media talking head spewing out the daily BS to the low information DemocRat voter.

[who knows what evil?]

Nye is a COMEDIAN who promotes false climate science.

[Kevmo]

Maybe global warming is causing a lowering of the IQ of CNN anchors.

[gov_bean_ counter]

LOL!!! Now that you mention it.
