CNN’s climate circus
< < Go Back
What happened to CNN?
Almost 30 years ago, CNN delivered bold and courageous on the ground reporting of Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait and Iraq. It was a testimony to the freedom of the press in action.
Fast forward to today, and alas, CNN has flushed its courageous reporting and matter-of-fact analysis down the drain. Such was the case with their 7-hour-long climate change town hall featuring 10 of the Democratic candidates for president last night.
It was an embarrassing excuse for journalism.
CFACT’s Marc Morano appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to analyze what was said. Marc watched this marathon of ridiculous, fact-free grandstanding so you wouldn’t have to.

What was worse than CNN’s coverage of the candidates regurgitating the claims of doom and gloom we hear every day, however, were their proposed solutions to the so-called climate “crisis.”
Senator Sanders enthusiastically agreed to include population control through abortions as a means to limit the effects the developing world has on climate change.
In regards to coal, Joe Biden assured the crowd: “We’ve got to shut down the [coal plants] that we have, but no one is going to build a new one.”
Senator Kamala Harris said: “There is no question I am in favor of banning fracking.” When asked if she would ban offshore drilling, Senator Harris enthusiastically replied “yes.”
What was most bizarre, however, was Senator Warren’s claims that energy companies are actually responsible for the Left’s calls to ban plastic straws, incandescent light bulbs, and even cheeseburgers, to try to distract people from regulating CO₂.
The most common theme though among all the candidates was their plan to spend literally trillions of dollars to try to fix the planet.
As Marc declared in his segment on Fox this morning: “I’m gonna give a spoiler here, Bernie Sanders wins! He was at over $16 trillion…the real question is why didn’t Bernie say $30 [trillion] or $45 trillion?
