Weather Channel blasts Breitbart: Stop using our video to mislead Americans
Weather Channel meteorologist Kait Parker responded to the claims made in the Breitbart article
Updated: 7:06 PM PST Dec 6, 2016AdvertisementATLANTA — The Weather Channel posted a scathing video to its website blasting the conservative news website Breitbart.com for claiming global warming wasn't real and global temperatures were actually falling.
"The problem is," Weather Channel Meteorologist Kait Parker said. "they used a completely unrelated video about La Nina, with my face in it, to attempt to back their point."Advertisement
To make the matter worse, Parker said, the U.S. Committee on Space, Science and Technology tweeted out Breitbart's article.
"Here's the thing," Parker said. "Science doesn't care about your opinion. Cherry picking and twisting the facts will not change the future nor the fact, note, fact, not opinion, that the Earth is warming."
One of the Breitbart article's claims was that temperatures dropped by one degree Celsius since the middle of the year, making it the steepest fall ever recorded.
"That was based on one satellite estimate of global land temperatures, not a consensus," Parker said. "And second of all, land temperatures aren't an appropriate measure. The Earth is 70 percent water, and water is where we store most of our heat energy. So, when you look at sea surface temperatures and combine that with land surface temperatures you actually get a record high for November 2016."
Parker urges scientists to make the facts about global warming louder than those that are opinions.
"So, the next time you're thinking about publishing a cherry picked article, try consulting a scientist first," Parker said.
