jtssrx Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 MSNBC reporter under fire for claiming Obama's Paris climate change agreement is designed to STOP storms like Matthew By Dailymail.com Reporter 10:09 EST 06 Oct 2016, updated 16:49 EST 06 Oct 2016 MSNBC reporter Ron Allen said the Paris climate change agreement is 'designed to stop' storms like Hurricane Matthew While more frequent and stronger storms have been connected to global warming, it's unclear whether human action can stop them The comments sent right-wingers into a frenzy on Twitter 'Another liberal "journalist" completely devoid of reality,' one wrote An MSNBC reporter was bashed online on Wednesday, when he claimed on air that the new Paris climate change agreement would stop storms like Hurricane Matthew. Ron Allen was reporting from the White House, where President Obama spoke to the media about the agreement being ratified by the required number of nations. When President Obama wrapped up his speech, Allen started speaking and tied the agreement to the current hurricane barreling towards Florida. Scroll down for video MSNBC reporter Ron Allen said the Paris climate change deal was 'designed' to stop storms like Hurricane Matthew 'It’s very interesting that this is happening on a day when there’s a hurricane bearing down on the United States and in the Caribbean because these severe storms, beach erosions, intense weather episodes that we’ve had is perhaps the most practical sample of what the president was talking about as the threat that the planet faces,' Allen said. He went on to say that the agreement, which encourages nations to reduce their carbon emissions, 'is designed to stop' storms like Hurricane Matthew. While the frequency and strength of hurricanes has been linked to global warming, scientists have not suggested that weather can be controlled by human action. The comment sent Twitter users into a frenzy, ridiculing Allen for making the assumption that humans could change weather Related Articles 'This storm will kill you': Tailbacks leave thousands in gridlock across the East Coast as two million are told to flee deadly hurricane Matthew as it kills 69 and prepares to hit the US TODAY Devastation: Aerial footage shows Haiti villages leveled by Hurricane Matthew as death toll climbs to 69 across the Caribbean Haiti after the hurricane: At least 69 people killed in the Caribbean as thousands of homes are destroyed by Matthew Hurricane Matthew sparks travel chaos: More than 2,500 flights are cancelled, train service are suspended and streets are gridlocked as East Coast braces for 'direct hit' And many right wingers who oppose the climate change agreement found Allen's assumption that the deal would stop hurricanes ridiculous. 'NBC's Ron Allen says Obama's climate change scam is designed to stop hurricanes? Another liberal "journalist" completely devoid of reality,' Twitter account @SetUSAFree wrote. 'Gotta love groupie journalists who praise a Con-Mander-in-Chief for taking control of the planet's weather system #wakeup,' Twitter user @marbisme wrote.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted October 7, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wonder if the guy know or if he was even off the tit when the last major hurricane hit the US over a decade ago. Hope the destruction is huge to line my union brothers pocket on the rebuild effort. This obama economy is sucking for many of my union brothers.

Momorider Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 So scientists who can't tell what a hurricane will do tomorrow can predict the climate in 100 years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was wondering why the left was pumping out headlines...........Rush and right wingers think hurricanes are media conspiracies. Talked to my cousin in Ft. Lauderdale area, they had minimal damage. His neighbor was telling him " you need to vote for Clinton, keep this from happening". Mathew aside, I'm sick of these week long media hysterics about the storms of the century, around here. Anymore, I make sure I have gas & beer, and laugh at these people clearing the shelves, going nuts, like they will be stranded in their homes for months. 99% of the time we get a couple inches or a dusting and they spend the next two days talking about how "we dodged the bullet".

Never heard Rush or most of the right say anything of the sort. Been less Hurricanes since the whole MMCC thing erupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 7, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 7, 2016 Whats really sad is people are afraid of having their homes looted by scumbags so they stay in the path of deadly storms. Reality is they are somewhat right that scum take advantage of these situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It plays well for those who need constant reassurance of how stupid the other side is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality of what he was saying was .....Clinton, media are using the hurricane to further their political agenda, MMCC Left interpretation.........Rush and his followers think hurricanes are conspiracies and don't really exist.
