Media Matters: Climate Change and Terror

After all, when have Fox News pundits ever been wrong?

Media Matters:

Fox News pundits have spent much of the past year mockinganddismissing comments by President Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and others who have described the connection that climate change has to terrorism and the rise of the jihadist group ISIS. But as world leaders strive for an ambitious agreement at the conclusion of the United Nations climate change conference in Paris — the site of horrific terrorist attacks by ISIS in November — it’s more important than ever that Americans and people around the world recognize the relationship between global warming and global security.

      I’m someone who got paid to study Atmospheric Science as a PhD candidate in the early 1980’s. While I only lasted a year, before returning to Mechanical Engineering, I understood that the LEAST controversial thing in Atmospheric Science, at that time, was Global Warming. So, allow me the ‘latitude’ to think that what wasn’t controversial, among the experts, 30 years ago, is the most uncontroversial item in Sciences existence, today.
