CBS News called out for claiming airplane turbulence is result of climate change: 'Typical'
Fox News ^ | 12/20/2022 | Amy Nelson

The "Outnumbered" panelists took aim at CBS News Tuesday after the media outlet credited climate change for severe turbulence on a recent flight bound for Hawaii.

Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News medical contributor, warned the issue shouldn’t be "chalked up" to climate change without solid evidence.

CBS raised eyebrows with a quote from Taylor Garland, spokesperson for the Association of Flight Attendants, after 36 passengers were injured and 11 hospitalized due to turbulence.

"Severe weather increases chances of turbulence, and due to climate change, these kinds of incidents will only continue to grow," Garland said.

Saphier, however, pushed back on the claims.

Sometimes, it’s hard to argue we’re not!

“These people think you are completely stupid”

They count on it.

Sadly, many Americans are, and believe this crappola.

“Climate change” is responsible for the changing of seasons, the growth of plants, the freshness of air, the freshness and availability of water, along with many, many more things that are necessary for life...

“Climate change” occurs every single day and night, no matter what humans do...

CBS makes a great deal of sense here. Airplane Turbulence is getting worse and worse. Go back, say, 200 years, and Airplane Turbulence was virtually non-existent.

Some years back a CNN anchor asked if frequent meteor showers were due to global warming.

Reporters ARE stupid. They come out of J Schools with minors in political science. They have NO idea how the physical world works.

Recently we had a major power outage, 50,000 people were without power. The reporter goes into an apartment building in the city, and interviews some shivering residents there. The whole article had a SJW flavor, including the money quote: “Management won’t tell us anything about what’s going on!”

Bad management. Evil landlord.

Tell me, though, how is the manager of an apartment building going to know when the power is going to go on? Don’t you think that would be a better question for THE ELECTRIC COMPANY?

The reporter, who graduated from U Mass Amherst last year, (with a minor in political science) DIDN’T KNOW HOW ELECTRICITY WORKS.

Just as that big snowstorm that’s supposed to come in a couple of days is caused by climate change, because it has never snowed a lot in northern Indiana before.

CBS slid into tabloid status a long time ago, even before CBS's Dan Rather forged documents as an illegal political contribution-in-kind in an attempt to influence a presidential election.

It is caused by climate change.

Climate change is causing Pacific whales to float to the surface and fart.
These huge farts come out of the water and.rise as strong thermals,
often to great altitudes.

A transpacific airliner flying into one of these rapidly rising farts will be thrust upward and then plunge rapidly downward as it exits the thermal.
