CNN Anchor Deborah Feyeric Asks Bill Nye if Meteor Is Related to Global WarmingBy Ashley Davis at Opposing Views

"SNIP...........................................
An anchor at CNN surprised everyone watching when she asked scientist Bill Nye if the meteor hurtling past Earth was a result of global warming.
Deborah Feyeric, who has worked at CNN for 13 years, asked the question when she was transitioning from a story about global warming and the blizzard in the east coast to a segment about Asteroid 2012 DA14. The asteroid is expected to pass just 17,200 miles from Earth on Friday.
We want to bring in our science guy, Bill Nye, and talk about something else thats falling from the sky, and that is an asteroid, Feyerick said. Whats coming our way? Is this the effect of, perhaps, global warming? Or is this just some meteoric occasion?
Nye, who has an engineering degree from Cornell University, cut off Feyerick before she could say more.

Right now He's just trying to scare us straight, to mend our evil gay-sex and aborting ways before he destroys our whole climate with giant meteors that will make the Russian one look like a firefly in the night. After all, you know God killed the dinosaurs, and how did He do that? He sent a mighty meteor, just like the one that barely missed the Earth this week. And then what happened? The meteor caused thousands of years of darkness -- global climate change 1000 times greater than we see today, and almost all life on Earth ceased to exist. God killed the gay dinosaurs and gun haters with global warming caused by a giant meteor. And now, with gay marriage, women in the military, a black man in the White House, and all the meteors raining down on us, God is sending us the clearest possible message. Coincidence? I think not."

I'm surprised they didn't claim the meteorite was "too close to call"

(16,916 posts)which we deserve for listening to demonic secular humanists spread their science lies about the so called Global warming. The only reason our global is getting warmer is because the gates of hell have opened. Duh.
Either that, or it was just teh gays.
