TYT: Fox News Host: Climate Change Hoax Costs Us Our Freedom!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"The hosts of the Fox News program Outnumbered on Wednesday slammed the White House for saying that climate change affects more Americans than terrorism. Because according to one host, faulty “science” about a recent snow storm made Americans “give up our freedom.”

In a recent interview with Vox, President Barack Obama had said that the media tends to overstate the threat of terrorism compared with the threat of climate change and disease “because that’s what folks watch, and it’s all about ratings.”*

2. first learned of this monster from David Pakman

Andrea Tantaros is her name. Really mean and really ignorant. She seems to have no redeeming qualities what so ever. Other than she's attractive, like almost all female regulars on Fox are.

Judge Jeanine Pirro is also attractive, but after watching a few of her bomb the Muslims back to the stone age and kill them all youtubes, both women are ugly to the core of their souls. ("Kill all Muslims" seems to be a chorus from extreme conservatives. Somebody should tell them the planet has 1.3 to 1.6 BILLION OF THEM and a genocide of that scale would make the death and horror of WW2 look like an afternoon with the toddlers at Chuck-E-Cheeses.)

To put it another way, I'd have to get paid at least $500 cash or money order in advance to be "romantically involved" with either of them! And considering I'd have to use some parts of my brain to perform, the chances of erectile dysfunction are much higher than normal. (It would enhance my abilities to perform if they enjoyed being sexually humiliated. Which in their case may not involve anything more than being in the same room with a self avowed liberal progressive.)

DISCLAIMER: HUMOR PURPOSES ONLY Some of my best friends are not men.

3. Andrea Tamtoros, "Nobody has died because of climate change."

28 were killed in the 2012 derecho storm, 4.2 million people lost power, and
many people died in the heat wave that was afterwards because they had
no a.c..

4. "How many people have died from climate change?"

In 2010, Russia had a heatwave that killed about 15,000 people. In 2003, Europe had a record heatwave that killed about 70,000 people. That 2003 heatwave is part of the reason Europe takes global warming more seriously than we Americans do. We've had droughts that have raised prices for produce and meat a little, but we haven't had a big killer heatwave.

Reports differ as to how many have died or will die from climate change. One report says 250,000 will die every year, another says 300,000 die every year, and another says 400,000 die every year. And a really cheerful report predicts 100 million will die from climate change by 2030.

Estimates of death from terrorist attacks vary between 11,000 to 23,000 in a single year. Estimates say Americans have about a 1 in 20 million chance of being killed by terrorists, about 1/4 the odds of getting struck by lightning. All estimates of terrorism fatalities, though, lead to arguments over how you define a terrorist attack. The D. C. sniper attacks of 2002 claimed 10 lives. Were they terrorist attacks or just a crime spree? At the time, people felt terrorized. And the perpetrators were convicted of terrorism as well as murder, though the prosecution claimed the crimes were an attempt to extort money from local and state governments.

But I'm digressing from the main point. Climate change has killed and will kill far, far more people than terrorism.

5. You mean, other than the 285 people who died in Superstorm Sandy?

Or the 1833 who died in Hurricane Katrina?
