Rush Limbaugh, global warming, and our weather
Americans get their scientific information (and this is no joke) primarily from television weather casters. Most TV weather folks aren't prepared to talk about long-range climate realities as they focus their attention on the five-day outlook. An exception is Paul Douglas, formerly of KARE-TV and WCCO-TV, he is now the head of WeatherNation. He says: "One instrument playing out of tune would be noise and insignificant. We have an entire global orchestra playing out of tune with all these weather extremes happening simultaneously. At some point you have to recognize that this is not your grandfather's weather system. I'm seeing things I've never seen before."Then he adds, "Just last month, in July, we had 2,676 records broken. The most ever. The hottest in Washington, D.C., since 1871. There is more moisture in the atmosphere than we've ever seen before."
