Former Democratic Sen. Tim Wirth of Colorado, now the president of the UN Foundation, said the flooding and forest fires in the United States this year are evidence of "the kind of dramatic climate impact" climate change models have predicted and that those in the know on climate change must “undertake an aggressive program to go after those who are among the deniers.”Groupthink. We must get TV weather people to quit screwing around in front of the green screen and start indoctrinating the viewers on global warming. That's just creepy.
In a UN Foundation conference call about climate change, from Svalbard, Norway on Thursday, Wirth said, “[W]e have to--I think, again as I’ve suggested before--undertake an aggressive program to go after those who are among the deniers, who are putting out these mistruths, and really call them for what they’re doing and make a battle out of it. They’ve had pretty much of a free ride so far, and that time has got to stop.”
Wirth also said it was a good thing that people such as weather forecasters have come together “to try to explain climate change and climate impacts when they’re doing the evening news and talking about the weather, which is where most people in the United States get their information. That’s going to be, I think over a period of time, an extremely important set of steps to take.”
The UN Foundation was started by TV tycoon and eccentric nut Ted Turner, a guy with more money than brains and who's convinced himself that we're all gonna die from global warming. It must be tough to hold onto that dream while the climate refuses to cooperate.

Gee, I guess freedom of speech doesn't apply here either.
