Is it getting hot in here?
Meteorologist Kait Parker of The Weather Channel is fired up in a new video in which she goes after Breitbart.com for an article in which the website used Parker’s reporting to mislead readers on the threat of global warming.
“Earth is not cooling, climate change is real” reads the headline on the new video featuring Parker, in which she opens by saying, “Last week, Breitbart.com published an article claiming that global warming was nothing but a scare and global temperatures were actually falling. Problem is, they used a completely unrelated video about La Niña, with my face in it, to attempt to back their point.”
Dear #Breitbart, Earth is not cooling, climate change is real and please stop using MY FACE to mislead Americans. https://t.co/8yDnzffdKv

Parker wasn’t just ticked that her reporting was being cherry picked and used incorrectly on Breitbart. She pointed out that the Breitbart article was retweeted by the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

“Here’s the thing,” Parker continued. “Science doesn’t care about your opinion. Cherry picking and changing the facts will not change the future nor the fact — note fact, not opinion — that the earth is warming.”
Parker proceeds to break down three claims in the Breitbart article and counter them with scientific truth. You can read the Weather.com story or watch Parker in the video that’s attached over there for more on temperature fluctuations as they relate to El Niño and La Niña years.
“To all my fellow scientists out there,” Parker concluded, “let’s make the facts louder than the opinions.”
