CNN Newsroom co-host Jim Sciutto and “climate correspondent” Bill Weir spent time Wednesday warning it may be “too late” to stop the upcoming environmental global catastrophe.
While most Americans are going to be enjoying their families and remembering what they are thankful for this holiday, the CNN duo claimed families would be sitting around worrying about how the world is going to become uninhabitable in the next decade.
Sciutto opened the segment hyping a new United Nations report that warned humanity was running out of time to stop the impending catastrophe (gee, where have we heard this before?).
“Folks, this is important. A new United Nations report warns that countries are running out of time to limit — just limit, the climate crisis and it could soon be too late to prevent temperatures around the world from rising to near catastrophic levels. This is real!” Sciutto fretted, really laying on the dramatics.
“It paints a bleak picture not just because of the warming but because of the time that we have as a race. To stop it. Not even stop it, slow it down, is running out!” he gushed to CNN’s Bill Weir.
Weir scolded politicians for not acting in the 1980s when scientists were warning them because we wouldn’t be in the “crisis” we were now if they had.
As NewsBusters has reported, the media’s Chicken Little routine about the environment has been going on for over a century.
Even television journalists were saying that we were all going to die soon too as far back as 1970, when Walter Cronkite warned, “Act or die!”
Regardless, Weir blamed the “bleak” state of the earth on President Trump. Weir snarked Trump’s “legacy” would be “damaging” our relationship with China and pulling out of the Paris Accord while praising the Obama administration for that climate agreement.
Sciutto, who worked for President Obama, of course, agreed. He invited Weir to attack Trump, and Fox News as being beholden to an ulterior agenda (which of course, could never be said about climate alarmists):
SCIUTTO: Is there any doubt to the science? Of course, on other networks and from the President you’ll hear, ‘well, do we really know?’
WEIR: No. But those are the talking points that have been fed into this by fossil fuel interest much the way tobacco companies did the same with the dangers of smoking. Deliberate misinformation campaigns. So, yeah, if you watch Fox and marinade in that you think that there is some, but the latest analysis that just came out is no longer 97% of scientists agree. It’s 100%…
In case it wasn’t clear, Weir added we needed to “brace” ourselves “for a whole new definition of life on Earth as we know it.”
Sciutto agreed, listing “storms” as an example of climate change. Weir urged Americans to pressure Congress and businesses to make the environment a priority, while they were discussing the problem with their families on Thanksgiving:
The most effective things that folks can do when you’re sitting around on Thanksgiving talking about it, as a citizen laying on your elected leaders but also as a consumer laying on the brands you care about, saying ‘Hey, what are you doing about it?’”
Yes, I’m sure that’s what the average family is going to be talking about at their dinner tables this Thanksgiving.

I really, really hope that Jim Sciutto and Bill Weir Fretted over climate ‘catastrophe’ on Thanksgiving. People this stupid deserve consequences. If the opinion polls are any indication, most families spent Thanksgiving without giving climate change any thought.
I had to think about the climate (more accurately weather) on Thanksgiving. The water line from our well to the cistern froze. Where is global warming when you need it? Fortunately we still had water because the line from the cistern to the house was fine.
They said that 100% of scientists now support the climate change dogma. What about the 700 scientists who recently signed a letter to the United Nations stating that there is no climate crisis? In addition, are they saying that all of the 38,000+ scientists who signed the Oregon petition have changed their minds? Remember that both studies that claimed 97% support of the climate change dogma were frauds. One reviewed over a thousand published papers. Only those who made a statement against the climate change theory were counted as the 3% against it. All of the others, including those which no mention of climate change, which was most of them, were counted as supporting the theory.
The USA has much to be thankful for, they are the society most able to cope with adversity. With President Trump, the USA is the best equipped to fend off corruption and centralized Socialism.
This is one of the reasons i quit watching their fake news programs LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES SQUAWK SQUAWK KRRAAAWWW SKREEEEE SKREEEET
I fret over how idiots like this ever get prime time TV. THAT is the disgrace!
Happy Thanksgiving from Oz.
What a sad bunch of killjoys, unless they are predicting doom and gloom they can’t seem to be happy. Beats me how CNN still operates, we spent time in Singapore last year and CNN seem to be the main channel on TV; after the first night we didn’t turn the TV on again, just plain weird really. The phony predictions by all their “prophets” have NEVER happened. They really do live in an alternate universe to sane, thinking people who don’t swallow their hogwash.
Screw CNN and the jackass they rode in on this whole CNN is a scam a toal scam their all liars and they fake the news why should anyone ever beleive these over paid liars and leftists propegandists
Why is CNN so often on the wrong side of an issue ?
It has to start at the top . Is it possible the top people are just incredibly stupid ?
“Countries are not doing enough to “limit ” climate change” ?
What ? Their presumption is humans control climate change …since when ?
On the other hand let’s not presume they are stupid they just spew their crap out to feed a certain market . In this case the bed wetting climate cult they helped create by lying to the public over and over .
Have the polar ice caps disappeared , what about polar bears and besides the
earth continues to warm after the most recent ice age 10,000 years ago . That is overall a very good thing .
Would CNN rather see a new ice age or are they trying to sell the climate wouldn’t change if not for us evil humans driving Volvo’s ?
Do humans make a contribution? Yes as a thimble of water does when added in an Olympic swimming pool .
Natural climate variables virtually negate the trace gas contribution from human use of fossil fuels . Any warming we do get is welcome overall .
CNN shows it is a propaganda site for many things and the public apparently are tired of their act . I was a long long time ago .
