    Yea I think that’s a good thing. I would much rather see him doing that than trying to screw over Red States for political
    Payback.

    That’s what we should expect of Presidents.

    It's so funny how you have to convince people that an army of academics who model systems of partial differential equations have more influence peddling money to alter and corrupt discussion on science of climate change than executives of a trillion dollar industry.

    What clowns are you trying to convince with that rhetoric.

    I can predict all the talking points.

    Look dude I've posted videos also I doubt you've wasted zero hours consuming. Express your opinions and your takeaway in your own words.

    I don't think Dan Crenshaw is going to instigate a conversation about climate science that brings new insight and isn't just a regurgitation of oil and gas executive talking points.


    Don't act entitled to having people consume your spamming of outside content especially if you are incapable of paraphrasing the content.

    4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit increase that's 100% attributable to human activity, plus an estimated 1-3 feet sea level rise, by 2100.

    Dayum, pretty neat that Dan hosted that discussion with Roger.

    SCIENCE
    An Iowa meteorologist started talking about climate change on newscasts. Then came the harassment

    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The harassment started to intensify as TV meteorologist Chris Gloninger did more reporting on climate change during local newscasts — outraged emails and even a threat to show up at his house.

    Gloninger said he had been recruited, in part, to “shake things up” at the Iowa station where he worked, but backlash was building. The man who sent him a series of threatening emails was charged with third-degree harassment. The Des Moines station asked him to dial back his coverage, facing what he called an understandable pressure to maintain ratings.

    “I started just connecting the dots between extreme weather and climate change, and then the volume of pushback started to increase quite dramatically,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

    So, on June 21, he announced that he was leaving KCCI-TV — and his 18-year career in broadcast journalism altogether.

    Gloninger’s experience is all too common among meteorologists across the country who are encountering reactions from viewers as they tie climate change to extreme temperatures, blizzards, tornadoes and floods in their local weather reports. For on-air meteorologists, the anti-science trend that has emerged in recent years compounds a deepening skepticism of the news media.

    Many meteorologists say it’s a reflection of a more hostile political landscape that has also affected workers in a variety of jobs previously seen as nonpartisan, including librarians, school board officials and election workers.

    For several years now, Gloninger said, “beliefs are amplified more than truth and evidence-based science. And that is not a good situation to be in as a nation.”

    Gloninger’s announcement sent reverberations through a national conference of broadcast meteorologists in Phoenix, where many shared their own horror stories, recalled Brad Colman, president of the American Meteorological Society.

    “They say, ‘You should have seen this note.’ And they try to take it with a smile, a lighthearted laugh,” Colman said. “But some of them are really scary.”

    That drops lots of bad emissions into atmosphere

    Kerry's carbon footprint is probably 1000X the average person on the planet
