NBC Anchor Brian Williams Links Southeast Tornadoes to Global Warming

NBC anchor Brian Williams plays right along with the progressive playbook, page, chapter and verse. Williams' was doing an on-air interview of The Weather Channels Dr.Greg Forbes, and hardly able to contain his enthusiasm for his question, Williams' opined "Let's be candid here. When you and I go home, you see friends, family, you get email from people you know, people ask the same question, what's going on here? Is this something we've done? What has happened to the climate, because it seems so much of what we cover is relentless weather related tragedy."

Nice one Brian! I wish I'd have gone to lefty journalism school so I too could master the art of the opinionated leading question. To seemingly ask so innocently, as if one is seeking enlightenment, a question that is clearly positioned to plant a foregone conclusion into the mind of an observer. Nice.

I guess the 1930's history of super tornadoes isn't applicable, right? And what about the super cell outbreak in the 1970's? Remember them? Gee, and weren't those 1970's outbreaks in the midst of that global cooling Newsweek magazine opined in 1978 would bring a new Ice Age? Damn sure was! Oh.... never mind. It's "climate change" and not global warming, so literally any weather event can be attributed to this amorphous "climate change." I've heard hot dry Summers may appear, followed closely by wet, cold winters - oh my!

I do wonder how all this plays into history though. As a WWII historian I know that the European Winter in 1944/45 was one of the coldest in recorded history...prolly just the Earth mad with folks shooting and dropping bombs and what not. And what about the mini Ice Age of Medieval times? Clearly if the weather turned cold then and lasted well up into into the 1800's, that would by default indicate it was warmer before the mini Ice Age, right? So Dark Age global warming, followed by Medieval global cooling.

And based on the historical record I guess it warmed a bit since the early 1800's, then it got hotter again. But wait! It got cooler again, then warmed again, then by the 1970's it was so cool science thought it might be a good idea to spread coal dust on the poles to melt some ice and warm the Earth, which now, according to the big thinkers, is warming again, even though the empirical evidence is the Earth's been cooling again since 1998. I guess we should completely discount the tree ring historical data that seems to point to a completely cyclic nature to climate. But no, they assure us it's global warming cum climate change.

I think "climate change" is effecting me too. Before all this "climate change" in the 1970's I was a young stud, but now I'm older, grayer, a little more robust in the waistline and I have a couple of grown kids. Must be "climate change" that's responsible. Everytime the wind blows I get a little older, a little more stiff and a bit more cantankerous. Hell, a good rainstorm and I become slam curmudgeon like, hardly able to handle the fluff that rolls of the tongues of idiots.

Obviously climate change effects me negatively. If we could only freeze the weather at say 65 degrees and partly sunny, I'd be good to go. And I'll bet there would be less Japanese quakes and tsunamis too, right? I mean that's just Mother Earth pissed at us. Thanks Brian Williams. Where would we be without your brilliant insight?
