Falwell sees climate conspiracy with Satan, liberals, and The Weather Channel

from Carpetbagger.com

TV preacher Jerry Falwell has been denying global warming for years, but this week, he was a little more specific about his perspective.

The religious right leader sees a conspiracy, working to convince people to accept a myth. Who’s involved with the scheme? Al Gore, liberal politicians, the media, “radical Hollywood,” … and The Weather Channel. From Falwell’s latest sermon:

The Weather Channel has taken up that task with its series ‘It Could Happen Tomorrow’. The Weather Channel started its “It Could Happen Tomorrow” series in January 2006. The program includes episodes where a tornado destroys Dallas, a tsunami destroys the Pacific Northwest, Mount Rainier erupts and destroys nearby towns, and San Diego is devastated by wildfires. What is the Weather Channel up to? … The big lie, conceived by the Weather Channel in cahoots with environmental extremists, is to get us in a tizzy over global warming.

OK, but why is The Weather Channel working with Hollywood and liberals to “get us in a tizzy”? Don’t worry, Falwell can explain that, too. As he sees it, there’s a three-prong strategy in place: ” (1) To Create Major Economic Damage to America. (2) The Desire To Change the Subject Concerning the World’s Moral Bankruptcy. (3) Most importantly, it is Satan’s Attempt to Re-direct the Church’s Primary Focus.”

I should probably note that these aren’t mutually exclusive — Falwell appears to believe that The Weather Channel/Liberal axis may be working alongside Satan.

Is it any wonder why a darling of Jerry Falwell, Sen. Rick Santorum introduced legislation last year that would limit the information that the National Weather Service can provide to the public. Santorum's bill would have been a major change to the role the National Weather Service plays, one that could drastically restrict free information for the public as well as airplane pilots and farmers, who are among some 6 million people who each day access weather service data on the Web pages of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.
If people like the Weather Channel could be controlled, we wouldn't hear about global warming.

Good thing that over 1,000 religious leaders across the country expressed dismay and alarm at Bush's environmental policies.
