Remember when some evangelist said that the hurricane in New Orleans was a punishment from God and everyone freaked out on him. Well, Brian Williams is essentially saying the same thing in his little cutesy paganesque way.
Williams, like a caveman, saw bad weather and destruction and assumed that man had done something to deserve such bad weather. Next thing you know, he’s going to be seeking to offer a sacrifice to the gods to assuage them. I guess he’ll seek to toss businesses and jobs on the sacrificial fire.
Blue Collar Philosopher writes:
Belief in man made global warming, the belief that man’s activity can create and change weather, is a religious belief. Brian Williams on NBC’s Nightly News affirmed it in the form of a question. He wonders what we are doing that lead to the tornadoes in Alabama.
And the claim that it is “irresponsible” not to mention climate change in this story is propagated by the Left. One would think there had never been any tornadoes or bad weather prior to the Industrial Revolution. Left wing religious fanaticism is reaching dangerous levels over the fear of global warming.
So let me get this right. According to Brian Williams, if we’d all just live like Brian Williams wants us to, there would be nothing but sunshiney days and cool breezy nights. And probably rainbows too.
Anything less and Brian Williams would be looking to blame somebody. And you don’t want to be blamed by Brian Williams. Nobody does.
Exit thought: I wonder if Brian Williams took a jet down to Alabama? So maybe Brian Williams is to blame. Wonder if he ever thought of that.

I have a hard time taking this seriously because I am old enough to remember Peter Jennings admonishing us about Global Cooling and the Ozone layer. WE MUST plug the hole in the Ozone layer!~ WE caused this!~ These massive storms (blizzard of '78) are coming BECAUSE of us!~
I gather there is now some science to suggest that the hole in the ozone layer may have been the Earth's own natural heat sink and we should have left it alone.

I also remember a time "back in the day" when we were headed for a new ice age. In 1974 there were mega tornadoes and flooding and we damn near froze to death.
Ya know Stephen Foster might have been onto something…it rained all day the day I left, the weather it was dry…the sun so hot, I froze to death…Suzanna don't you cry.

Alley Oop must have had some pretty darn sophisticated and deadly possessions because whatever he did caused the death of every single damn dinosaur.
I hate Alley Oop; (and I am glad he wasn't Catholic or The Pope might have apologised for what he did).

I wonder what the dinosaurs did to merit their destruction?

Although we all know they use the word "religion" as code for "Christian" beliefs….

You know, it could just be possible, that there is climate change problems going on due to man's irresponsible behavior. It could be that the extra severe weather, more than what is statistically usual, could be effected by man's activities. You know, cause nature doesn't try to fix itself, if man is the problem, then why would nature not want to wipe us out? Didn't your god do the same thing with a flood according to your bible?
