CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota grew huffy on Tuesday following a brief report about a severe hailstorm in Colorado, wondering how some people still don’t think “climate change is necessarily happening.”
Fellow “New Day” anchor John Berman read out a news brief about large chunks of hail that hammered Colorado Springs on Monday, killing two animals at a zoo and injuring 14 people.
Camerota frowned at the footage of hail splashing into an animal’s water habitat, and then said, sarcastically, “Is it August in Colorado as well?”
“I believe it has reached August there,” Berman said.
“You saw this?” Camerota said, looking almost angry.
Berman, attempting to keep things light, said he couldn’t believe the size of the splashes caused by the hail.
“That’s what violent weather—and you know, some people don’t think that climate change is necessarily happening,” Camerota said.
“Bears hate it, too,” Berman said, as they moved to another segment.
Hail in the summer is not unusual, however. The Washington Post reports “hail is inherently a summertime phenomenon.”
Hailstones form due to rising winds called updrafts, far up in the sky where temperatures are extremely cold, even during the summer.
Some hailstones are large enough that they don’t melt by the time they outweigh the updraft’s lift and fall to the ground.
Camerota is hardly the only cable news host to see solid proof of climate change in common weather occurrences.
MSNBC host José Díaz-Balart in August of 2015, promoting an address about climate change by then-President Barack Obama, said “mother nature may be making his point for him” because of the high temperatures forcing him to give to the speech inside.
Again, it was August in Washington, D.C., which is nicknamed “The Swamp.”

Hail in Colorado in August happens all the time; I lived in CoSpgs for a while 20 years ago and had many gardens pummeled by hail just as the tomatoes were about ready to pick. One extraordinarily weird hail incident happened in the late 90’s: something the meteorologists called a cloud-drop occurred, wherein a storm cloud situated above the University of CO campus let loose its entire load of hail at once. The hail was up to six feet deep at the center, encasing several motorists inside their cars as they idled at a stop light in front of UCCS campus. Emergency responders had to use picks and axes to get down to the vehicles to rescue the motorists. Then they brought front-end loaders and dump trucks to cart away the mass of hail in order to reopen the road. To my recollection, nobody blamed global warming for that.
Yep, hail happens here every summer, fueled by the thunderstorms coming off the Rockies. Back in ’77 we had a hailstorm in Fort Collins that was worse than the one that just happened in Colorado Springs. There were hailstones the size of grapefruit and an infant was killed when hit with one–her mother was running for cover with the baby when she got hit. And I do believe at that time it was thought we were entering an ice age–guess a cooling planet causes worse hail storms too!
We were coming back froma camping trip one time with someone and a thunderstorm came up and it dumped hail on us as well as the usial thunderstorm downpour and the largest hail stone i ever saw was marble size because it totaly destroyed some plastic eatser lillies and shreaded the Rubarb leaves
