Key point made:

Money is given to scientist who support the Global Warming theory.

Does it really matter that he owned the Weather Channel? Personally I don't see how that rolls over into him being an expert on global warming, so much as it makes him a savvy business man.

I get that it's hard to find scientists to go on the record, who aren't stained by fossil fuel dollars... but that would feel a lot more persuasive to me.

Seriously? Did you even watch the video? He's a scientist not just a businessman. And didn't just own the Weather Channel.. he founded it.

Actually if you go to his wiki page he has a degree in journalism and spent years as a weatherman. I'm sure it plays better if you believe he's a scientist...

He has no formal science training. He has a degree in journalism, and he learned meteorology standing in front of a TV weather map cracking corny jokes.

The ideologues love to parade the 3% up and down the runway.

They seem to have just a few examples of each issue that go in their favor that they parade around as if that makes up for the overwhelming majority that don't. They line them all up in the corner with Thomas Sowell and Ben Carson . . . that's why Sarah Palin was such a hit with them, the token female.

It's okay to say "well I didn't know that, but I still think he made good points."

I'll just be honest, global warming is to complex for me to understand so I have to rely on the opinion of scientists. And pretty much all of them, across the world and across all political stripes- believe humans are effecting the Earths atmosphere in a way that is going to have harmful and costly effects. Moreover I grew up watching the country's air and water get cleaned up under Nixon's environmental laws. So I'm very receptive to the idea that we can still make money and be successful- while having clean air and water. I've lived it-

No matter what the founder of the Weather Channel says... he's probably not going to change my mind.

Of course he wonʻt change your mind. YOUR job and YOUR Ohana is more important than the environment as they should be.
