Sen. James Inhofe catches CNN anchor Miles O’Brien
in a global-warming contradiction. Seems O’Brien a few years ago was
claiming a new Ice Age was coming. Inhofe just happened to have that
quote handy. Now that’s good staff work. But O’Brien responded
predictably, saying it’s all part of the global warming phenomenon:
INHOFE: You said, in talking about a shift that was coming ? you
said, “If the Gulf Stream were to shift again, the British Isles could
be engulfed in polar ice and Europe’s climate could become frigid.”
That’s another scary story.O’BRIEN: But that also is a
potential outgrowth of global warming when you talk about the ocean
currents being arrested. This is “The Day After Tomorrow” scenario that
we’re talking about.
MediaBlog‘s Stephen Spruill noted: “I wonder whom CNN will tap to tell O’Brien that “The Day After Tomorrow” didn’t really happen.”
