When Your News Is Just A Bad Opinion

Snow in February is enough to disprove Climate Change for Fox News. Even though severe storms are a characteristic of Climate Change. How juvenile and uninformed can you be when snow becomes a political attack? Fox even turned it into an ad hominem personal attack with, "I bet Al Gore must be embarrassed with all this snow in February". Well if I don't like Al Gore, I must not like Climate Change. Idiots.

No one disputes weather change. Rain one day, sunny the next. Snow in winter time. It's called Climate Change for a reason because it is change over decades that matters. "Global Warming" is just one of the characteristics, as is more severe tornadoes and stronger hurricanes. It's the child-like understanding of Fox and certain Conservatives that see "warming" and latch on to one aspect of a complex global issue to help sell the narrative they have decided on.

That is such great journalism, backed with such scientific data. I bet their other reporting is just as robust with facts.
