CNN Meteorologist: Global Warming Theory 'Arrogant'

Unprecedented snow in Las Vegas has some scratching their heads – how can there be global warming with this unusual winter weather?

CNN Meteorologist Chad Myers had never bought into the notion that man can alter the climate and the Vegas snowstorm didn’t impact his opinion. Myers, an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist, explained on CNN’s Dec. 18 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that the whole idea is arrogant and mankind was in danger of dying from other natural events more so than global warming.

“You know, to think that we could affect weather all that much is pretty arrogant,” Myers said. “Mother Nature is so big, the world is so big, the oceans are so big – I think we’re going to die from a lack of fresh water or we’re going to die from ocean acidification before we die from global warming, for sure.”

Myers is the second CNN meteorologist to challenge the global warming conventions common in the media. He also said trying to determine patterns occurring in the climate would be difficult based on such a short span.

Las Vegas gets record snowfall, 3.6 inches
By ROBERT JABLON – 22 hours ago

"Snow is not unknown in the Las Vegas valley. On average we get 1/2 inch of snow a year," Jacques said. "But this amount made it a significant storm. We haven't had this amount of snow since 1979."

Hi Keli,

I noticed at the end of the article someone else had questioned the orthodoxy and was forced to recant the next day.

Good heavens these schmucks sure do know how to hold an Inquisition!

I just go with what the big majority of scientists say.

Like the Sheik said, the majority of scientists are not always right.

But most of the time I figure they are.

Their conclusions are a lot more credible to me than anecdotal stories about how the winters seem colder than they used to be, or it snowed in Las Vegas, etc.

You mean the Nobel peace prize that went to Al Gore is suspect?

Funny, as just a couple days ago one of our most prolific posters here said that the Nobel peace prize committee had exhonerated Henry Kessinger of charges of terrorism by awarding him some prize or other. So old Henry, too, must have known the "correct" answer.

Now either that prize committee knows its stuff, or it doesn't.

Or can we really have it both ways?

Before I could correct it, Ziggy has accused me of dishonesty. It wasn't. I posted a picture of snow in Las Vegas, which was mentioned in a previous post.
