Al Roker shames Limbaugh for dismissal of Hurricane Irma 'panic'
Source: The Hill
NBC meteorologist Al Roker clashed with Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday after the conservative radio host suggested warnings about Hurricane Irma were driven by political agendas around climate change.
The longtime "Today" personality took to Twitter to slam Limbaugh in two tweets while using a #ShameOnRush hashtag in a message to his 1.7 million followers.
"Do not listen to @rushlimbaugh when he says #Irma is not a dangerous #storm and is hype. He is putting people's lives at risk," wrote the 63-year-old Roker.
"To have @rushlimbaugh suggest the warnings about #Irma are #fake or about profit and to ignore them borders on criminal. #ShameOnRush," he wrote in subsequent tweet.

(3,284 posts)It's just amazing to me. How many climate scientists do you see driving around in limos and high end vehicles with cigars and jet setting around the world on all that sweet sweet climate science money?
Oh? Not many?
Okay, now how many oil execs do you see doing that?
All of them?
Follow the money! And I'm telling you right now, the money doesn't typically land in the pockets of climate scientists, it lands in the pockets of oil executives. So, who do YOU believe?

Either willfully or just plain ignorant of reality. It's nigh impossible to argue against someone to whom facts do not matter. This video clip of Newt Gingrich may seem funny, but it actually makes me sick to my stomach it's so scary:

There's no debating that kind of lunacy.
Podkayne K
(145 posts)quotes emergency managers in Texas as saying, "We were unprepared for the scope and strength of the storm."
Yep, it's difficult to prepare for climate change while all the while denying its existence.
And just to prove Mother Nature is completely pissed off, now approaching the strongest ever recorded Hurricane in history--followed quickly by two more of similar ferocity.
To quote our lovely leader, "Lots of happiness so have a good time."

He only plays a denier on radio. When it comes to saving his house, he'll act rationally. Fraud.

And, we all know the profit is in climate change denial, which has allowed the fossil fuel industry to continue to spew carbon into the atmosphere in order to make big bucks. If this country were run properly, there would be solar panels on every roof and the fossil fuel peddlers would be extinct.
Dark n Stormy Knight
(9,776 posts)Yep. As you say, they and their RW enablers are behind this. Yet the idiot RW minions who fall for and propagate their lies will suffer as much as any Democrat and will cry for government assistance, despite vehemently decrying help for victims of other of life's vagaries.

"Roker's criticism appeared to be in response to Limbaugh's Tuesday commentary on the storm, during which he suggested the warnings serve to advance climate change agendas and local businesses that profit off of customers stocking up on supplies."

I made it through about a paragraph, but it keeps going on and on and on. Anyone what to bet that he's going to be nowhere near Florida for the next couple weeks?

(3,064 posts)And if his house is leveled he won't change his tune on climate change one iota.
I recall he had some truly vicious things to say about Jerry Garcia, Kurt Cobain, and Waylon Jennings pertaining to their drug usage upon their deaths. And when he got in the shit over his addiction to oxycodone he just pretended it never happened, no newfound compassion for fellow addicts,nothing.
He's every bit as soulless and cruel as his Orange Overlord.
