Fox: Hurricane Sandy Has "Nothing To Do With Global Warming"
Fox News figures have cast Hurricane Sandy as an event that "has nothing to do with global warming." But climate scientists agree that global warming has exacerbated the flooding from storms like Sandy, and is expected to increase the severity of hurricanes.
Yet Fox News Figures Claim Sandy "Has Nothing To Do With Global Warming"
Perino: "This Has Nothing To Do With Global Warming." During the October 30 edition of Fox News' The Five, co-host Bob Beckel suggested that Hurricane Sandy -- along with a number of other indicators, such as the past decade being the hottest on record -- indicates that climate change is happening. Co-host Dana Perino responded, in part, "This has nothing to do with global warming." [Fox News, The Five, 10/30/12]
Bolling: Sandy "Has Nothing To Do With Global Warming." During the October 31 edition of Fox & Friends, Eric Bolling denied that climate change is related to Hurricane Sandy, saying: "Where is the proof? These global warming claims have been debunked time and time again. Look, it's weather. Weather changes. Things happen. It has nothing to do with global warming." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 10/31/12]
Fox Regular Bastardi: Potential Increase In Large Storms On Eastern Seaboard "Has Nothing To Do With Global Warming." During the October 29 edition of Fox News' Hannity, frequent Fox News guest and weatherman Joe Bastardi discussed Hurricane Sandy. He predicted that the Eastern Seaboard will see more large storms over "the next five to 10 years," but claimed that such a phenomenon "has nothing to do with global warming" and "has everything to do with nature."
