Though Weather Channel is usually as apolitical as a media outlet can be — just look at their Escape the Election eight-hour programming block that featured nothing but soothing videos of rainbows and sunsets — the scientist at the station will not stand to have their words minced. After Breitbart ran a story “Global Temperatures Plunge. Icy Silence From Climate Alarmists†that used a clip from the Weather Channel to further their climate-change-denying argument, the cable outlet rained down some truth. On Tuesday, the network posted a response article “Note to Breitbart: Earth Is Not Cooling, Climate Change Is Real and Please Stop Using Our Video to Mislead Americans†and a video featuring the same meteorologist, Kait Parker.
