Al Roker Owns Rush Limbaugh On The Polar Vortex- Tells Limbaugh To "STUFF IT"

[kpete]

On the Today Show this morning, the NBC weatherman told Limbaugh to "stuff it:

"Let me tell you something. We've never used the phrase 'global warming' or 'climate change' in conjunction with this... Okay?! So for all the doubters out there, STUFF IT."

Al Roker has this to say to all the haters out there: The polar vortex is real, and anyone who doesn't believe that can "stuff it."

Roker got the last word on the "polar vortex" controversy Wednesday morning when he pulled out an old college textbook from 1959 that contained a term ID for the weather condition.

7. The polar vortex was officially discovered in 1952, but first observed and named circa 1853 (link)

http://books.google.com/books?id=Df4vAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA430&dq=%22polar+vortex%22

"Entering the polar regions obliquely, it is pressed against by similar particles coming from every meridian, and as it approaches the higher latitudes, having less space to move in, it flies along more rapidly and more obliquely, until it, with all the rest, is whirled about the pole in a continued circular gale: at last, reaching the great polar vortex, pressed up on every side, it is carried upwards to the regions of atmosphere above, whence it commences again its circuit and journeys back to the north as an upper current, thus fulfilling its allotted task of turning about unto the north."

- page 430, The Living Age, Volume 39, 1853 ("Air Maps&quot

8. Rush makes his $$ from "sponsored content" that is...people paying him to say things during

his broadcast. In other words, advertising (propaganda) during the show that people don't know about. I think that's also the case with the 60 Minutes story on both Benghazi and climate change from last Sunday's show.

So basically, it doesn't matter if Rush believes it or not, he'll say it because that is how he makes his money. We need laws that force shows to acknowledge whether they are receiving funds for "sponsored content".

9. for those highly paid to dumb us down in order to allow catastrophe, "Stuff It!" n/t

[Liberalynn]

10. science & pukes about as compatible as fire & water.

[Jenoch]

12. I don't give a rat's ass about Limbaugh

or Roker. What I find interesting is that Roker dug out an old meteorology text book. We know he never used it in his own college studies since he is not a meteorologist.

[Ineeda]

13. We 'know' no such thing.

He doesn't claim to be a meteorologist, AFIK. And he may, indeed, have taken such a course. I don't know one way or another, and I suspect that neither do you. I don't watch AL and Company, but I would never lump him in with the Evil of the Airwaves, Limpballs.

[Jenoch]

14. I did not lump Al in with Limbaugh,

Al did. It is true, Roker is not a meteorologist and does not even have the "NWS Seal of Approval" that many 'weather anchors' do.

[tabasco]

15. You do know you don't have to be a meteorologist

to have taken a course in meteorology, right? Right?

[Jenoch]

18. There are probably a dozen meteorologiists

at the local TV stations where I live.

I made a smartass comment about Al Roker. Why does it bother you so much?

[Enoki33]

17. Ignorance + racism

I do not have the stomach to listen to Limbaugh. I do read reports of his abuse of the airwaves and this one reinforces the fact that this sorry excuse for a human being, in addition to spouting his racist beliefs, is happy in spreading ignorance. He is probably the single most divisive person in America. How any advertiser can be associated with him is beyond me.

27. I saw this on the Today Show this morning

It was great

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. This was the greatest thing ever ! you rock Al

[W.J. McCabe]

30. Oh Please...

You can use facts to prove things that are even remotely true.

[The_Commonist]

32. Interesting.

I had never heard the term "polar vortex" until this week. But I certainly did not even imagine that the term did not exist until this week.

The very first thing I did was go to Wikipedia. It says:

"The polar vortex was first described as early as 1853. The phenomenon sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) appears during the wintertime in the northern hemisphere and was discovered 1952 with radiosonde observations at altitudes higher than 20 km."

I guess Rush has never heard of Wikipedia.

[gordianot]

33. Roker should not have to avoid "global warming" to the unnamed nutjob that is a small victory.

In the unnamed nutjob's tiny mind any avoidance of the truth is vindication. Limbaugh's entire purpose is to elicit a response to his inane comments much the same as Palin who does it with fewer words.

[MindMover]

34. This is using intelligence, which is to read a book and transmit facts ...

Limpdick does none of that .. he is the great opinionator, along with the rest of the Fux crew, o'reallly, vanity, and all the other morons ...
