CNN Anchor Deb Feyerick Apparently Thinks Global Warming Causes Asteroids

Posted on | February 10, 2013 | 57 Comments

As previously noted here, a large asteroid will pass within 17,000 miles of Earth — a near-miss, astronomy-wise — next week. And this provides a network airhead the chance to demonstrate he utter ignorance in an interview with scientist Bill Nye:

“Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky and that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this an effect of, perhaps, of global warming or is this just some meteoric occasion?”

Remember: The media elite are your intellectual superiors. The proof of their superiority is that they’re on TV, and you’re not.

    Bill Nye perfected that goofy, nerdy “science” schtick back on “Almost Live” (if you remember that show, you also know what a “half-rack” is). He’s a Mechanical Engineer, by education and trade. He only gets to go on CNN because he’ll reliably say “Yup, sure. Global Warming!”

    However, the lovely Miss Feyerick was rocking a short blue dress this morning, with legs that could easily match the Fox News babes, so you have to give her some props!

    After the segment I’m sure someone took her aside and reminded her, “That’s not what we call them on TV, Deb. On TV we call them ‘hemorrhoids.'”

    The Earth has been warming for most of the last 12,000 years, when the last ice Age ended. Personally, I prefer it this way.

    I got a little drunk the other day; Global Warming.

    My girl friend ran off with my babysitter; Global Warming.

    My rent just went up; Global Warming.

    They just had a Huge Blizzard in the NE; Global Warming.

    I see a trend here.

    Just sayin’

    Bill Nye needs a test tube rammed up where it’s nice and dark and warm. And then broken off.

    He’s the kind of Psuedo/Propagandist “Scientist” that warps children’s minds and he should be penalized heavily for his Child Abuse.

    Bill Nye has a bachellor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He puts on a good show, but he’s no scientist.
