NBC Reporter: Deadly Disasters = Good News for Climate Change Agenda

(MRC) Appearing on MSNBC Live With Velshi & Ruhle Friday afternoon newly-hired NBC News Technology Correspondent Jacob Ward argued that a recent string of deadly natural disasters were actually good news" because such tragedies would help push the climate change agenda. He went on to compare the doubt industry" skeptical of manmade climate change to cigarette companies denying a link between smoking and cancer. (...) Yeah you know Im so conflicted on this issue because on the one hand its good news in a sense that we can feel it in our lives now. That were beginning to see floods and wildfires and all sorts of things that are directly being produced by the forces at work here in our changing climate. And yet at the same time scientists have always said to us that by the time we actually tangibly feel it in our own lives its kind of too late. And so theres a real sort of real mixed blessing here in the fact that were actually experiencing it day-to-day now. .
