Local Minneapolis-WCCO (CBS) meteorologist, Mike Fairbourne, says that the environmental movement is practicing “squishy science” when it ties human activity to global warming. Comments from WCCO.
Fairbourne is one of 31,000 scientists (9,021 PhDs) who agree that the human impact on global warming is overblown. Here’s the petition.
“Do we need to be wise stewards [of the Earth]? Absolutely,” Fairbourne said. “Do we have to pin everything that happens on global warming? No, we need to have cooler heads.”
Asked why there has been so much momentum toward connecting human activity and global warming, Fairbourne said, “They’re doing it for a lot of reasons; some may be scientific, but most of them are political. We need to be calm and look at scientific evidence and evaluate it.”
Fairbourne, a University of Utah graduate, said he has talked “to a number of meteorologists who have similar opinions” as his, adding that he is concerned about “the extremism that is attached to the global warming.”
According to the Daily Glean, zero local MSP meteorologists publicly adhere to the theory that human activity is the cause of “global warming.” If the “evidence” supports global warming, why do so many scientists disagree?
