CNN Meteorologist: Manmade Global Warming Theory 'Arrogant' 
Network's second meteorologist to challenge notion man can alter 
climate.

Unprecedented snow in Las Vegas has some scratching their heads – how 
can there be global warming with this unusual cold and snowy weather?

 

CNN Meteorologist Chad Myers had never bought into the notion that man 
can alter the climate and the Vegas snowstorm didn’t impact his opinion. 
Myers, an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist, 
explained on CNN’s Dec. 18 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that the whole idea is 
arrogant and mankind was in danger of dying from other natural events 
more so than global warming.

 

“You know, to think that we could affect weather all that much is pretty 
arrogant,” Myers said. “Mother Nature is so big, the world is so big, 
the oceans are so big – I think we’re going to die from a lack of fresh 
water or we’re going to die from ocean acidification before we die from 
global warming, for sure.”

 

Myers is the second CNN meteorologist to challenge the global warming 
conventions common in the media. He also said trying to determine 
patterns occurring in the climate would be difficult based on such a 
short span.

 

“But this is like, you know you said – in your career – my career has 
been 22 years long,” Myers said. “That’s a good career in TV, but 
talking about climate – it’s like having a car for three days and 
saying, ‘This is a great car.’ Well, yeah – it was for three days, but 
maybe in days five, six and seven it won’t be so good. And that’s what 
we’re doing here.”

 

“We have 100 years worth of data, not millions of years that the world’s 
been around,” Myers continued. 

 

Dr. Jay Lehr, an expert on environmental policy, told “Lou Dobbs 
Tonight” viewers you can detect subtle patterns over recorded history, 
but that dates back to the 13th Century.

 

“If we go back really, in recorded human history, in the 13th Century, 
we were probably 7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than we are now and it was 
a very prosperous time for mankind,” Lehr said. “If go back to the 
Revolutionary War 300 years ago, it was very, very cold. We’ve been 
warming out of that cold spell from the Revolutionary War period and now 
we’re back into a cooling cycle.”

 

Lehr suggested the earth is presently entering a cooling cycle – a 
result of nature, not man.

 

“The last 10 years have been quite cool,” Lehr continued. “And right 
now, I think we’re going into cooling rather than warming and that 
should be a much greater concern for humankind. But, all we can do is 
adapt. It is the sun that does it, not man.”

 

Lehr is a senior fellow and science director of The Heartland Institute, 
an organization that will be holding the 2009 International Conference 
on Climate Change in New York March 8-10.

 

Another CNN meteorologist attacked the concept that man is somehow 
responsible for changes in climate last year. Rob Marciano charged Al 
Gore’s 2006 movie, “An Inconvenient Truth,” had some inaccuracies.

 

“There are definitely some inaccuracies,” Marciano said during the Oct. 
4, 2007 broadcast of CNN’s “American Morning.” “The biggest thing I have 
a problem with is this implication that Katrina was caused by global 
warming.”

 

Marciano also said that, “global warming does not conclusively cause 
stronger hurricanes like we’ve seen,” pointing out that “by the end of 
this century we might get about a 5 percent increase.”

 

His comments drew a strong response and he recanted the next day saying 
“the globe is getting warmer and humans are the likely the main cause of 
it.”
