HAH! CNBC Anchor Slams "Bona-Fide Cult" Of "Enviro-Socialists"!
Kernen, co-host of CNBCs Squawk Box, on Friday bashed enviro-socialists who are criticizing him, and shortly afterward added, It is a bona fide cult.
Kernens remarks come as the anchor and his network are under fire from climate advocates. His Twitter exchanges with critics can be viewed here.
EDIT
On Friday, Kernens cult comment arrived during his interview with John Hofmeister, the former Shell Oil Co. president who now heads the group Citizens for Affordable Energy. Hofmeister said the Obama administration wasnt doing enough to enable the transition from oil to natural gas as a transportation fuel.
You better just set your alarm clock for three years from now because you are not going to get a speech about natural gas and energy independence here, you got a climate change speech. Thats what you got, and a big one, Kernen told Hofmeister, referring to President Obamas climate speech last week. Joe, thats what I call foolishness. We are not dealing with the real problems. I mean, lets face climate change over time, Hofmeister replied, which led Kernen to quip, thats easy for you to say.
