Despite Evidence to the Contrary, Left Still Pushes the Idea That Humans Caused the Tornado Outbreak

Foolishness, and even network anchors are not immune.  Witness this exchange between NBC's Brian Williams and The Weather Channel's Dr. Greg Forbes (h/t Newsbusters):

On the NBC Nightly News, Williams prompted Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel:

Let's be candid here. When you and I go home, you see friends and family, you get e-mail from people you know. People ask the same question: What's going on here? Is this something we have done? What has happened to the climate because it seems so much of what we cover is relentless weather-related tragedy?

Forbes skirted around Williams’ silliness:

Yeah, it really has been a remarkable April, certainly a record April. It may be the most tornadic month of any month on record. It certainly, the atmosphere has been in a frenzy. The jet stream just keeps blasting across the country, and then the warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico just keeps feeding the instability and so we’ve had tornado after tornado...

To Brian Williams credit, upon arriving in London for the Royal Wedding and hearing about the tornado devastation back home, Williams turned around and headed to Alabama where he'll report today. His total time in London was 3 hours. He's got his priorities straight, if not his science.

And I've got to give kudos to Dr. Forbes and the entire Weather Channel team for their coverage of the tornado outbreaks not only this week but earlier in the month. There's no doubt that the analysis and warnings they gave saved lives.  You could hear the emotion in their voices as they looked at the Doppler radar showing these enormous tornadoes chewing up heavily populated areas.  They were real pros.

Think Progress, one of the more ardently left websites around, is trying to blame the tornadoes on the votes of Southern State legislators against global warming legislation. How incredibly stupid.  Iowahawk sums them up nicely:

Think Progress: the Westboro Baptists of Klimate Klowns

Just as a reminder, there is a scientific reason for the current tornado outbreak that doesn't include climate change.  Anyone who tells you differently is simply using this tragedy to promote a political agenda.
