Contessa Brewer: Global Warming Snow Job

Former TMJ4 reporter/anchor Contessa Brewer, MSNBC's self-proclaimed know-it-all and climate expert, explains that the mountains of snow burying so much of the nation do not refute the alleged mountains of alleged evidence confirming the alleged reality of man-made global warming.

Meterologist Raphael Miranda tries to be fair and balanced, but Contessa dismisses his remarks. She calls him out for "playing it right down the middle."

Miranda should know that "playing it right down the middle" is not how they roll at MSNBC.

CONTESSA BREWER: Hey, I've gotta ask you, uh, South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint was on Twitter and using this D.C. snowstorm to make a political jab, saying that it provides... Well, here it is: He says the snow will continue 'until Al Gore cries uncle.'

He's basically making this argument against global warming 'cause they've had so much snow in Washington D.C. Is this, does this have anything to do with global warming?

RAPHAEL MIRANDA: Well, it's an interesting point. Global warming skeptics love to say, 'Oh, it's snowing. What happened to global warming?' But there is a school of thought that says global warming will provide more moisture to the atmosphere, which will allow for bigger snowstorms like this one. So really, it depends on which school of thought you attest to, but it could go either way.

BREWER: You're, you're playing it right down the middle.

MIRANDA: Right.

BREWER: But I, you know, I was taught that... we're taking about climate change here and more severe weather. So I'm not sure that a lot of snow refutes all the evidence to the contrary. Raphael, thanks.

EVIDENCE to the contrary?

She must be kidding.

Contessa says, "I was taught...."

Who "taught" her?

In any event, Contessa is convinced that she knows the truth. Global warming/climate change is the cause of the snowstorms pummeling D.C.

Case closed.

Contessa fits in so well at MSNBC.
