And we thought this one was bad: CNN talking empty head (Feyerick) asks Bill Nye if approaching Meteor was a result of global warming….
OK that set the stage, what could be dumber than that? Now study the picture below, and ask yourself, what’s wrong with this picture? Note the plane, a Boeing 777.
And here is what was said:
CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved.
Lemon brought this up along with other “conspiracy theories” people have been floating on Twitter, including people noting the eerie parallels to Lost and The Twilight Zone, and wondered, “is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?

I wonder how many B.S. detectors went off globally at that moment.
Now, I’ve seen everything. Remember this the next time one of these idiots discusses the science of global warming.

Oh. My. Word. I think I finally believe that the human race deserves extinction. The movie Idiocracy just became reality.
I thought CNN was consumed by a black hole shortly after the Gulf War.
And warmists make fun of the people that watch Fox News? Sheesh.

Why would someone steal a new plane; forget the passengers?
Where is the most feasible place to land it?
The person who stole it is more knowledgeable than the trained pilots.
No ship sightings during theft.
Leaves one to simply look for an old airbase and lots of nature canopy and camouflage.
Best bet by me.
As an occassional trainer at work, I have always had the attitude that the only stupid question was the one that was not asked.
Journalists continue to prove me wrong …
I’ve been through most of the postings on the PPRUNE website (professional pilot’s rumor and news) on this subject over the past week … the journo’s seem to read that site owing to the wide range of technical types who drop by with a technical tidbit or two … one has to learn to ‘read’ between the lines of the wheat the chaff though …

EU committee rejects deal to exempt foreign flights from CO2 charges
LONDON, March 19 (Reuters) – The European Parliament’s Environment Committee (ENVI) voted on Wednesday to reject a deal to exempt long-haul flights from paying for carbon emissions until the end of 2016, aiming to prevent the European Union from bowing to foreign pressure…

19 March: NYT: Coral Davenport: Obama Turns to Web to Illustrate the Effects of a Changing Climate
As part of an effort to make the public see global warming as a tangible and immediate problem, the White House on Wednesday inaugurated a website, climate.data.gov, aimed at turning scientific data about projected droughts and wildfires and the rise in sea levels into eye-catching digital presentations that can be mapped using simple software apps.
The project is the brainchild of Mr. Obama’s counselor, John D. Podesta, and the White House science adviser, John P. Holdren…
The effort comes as Mr. Obama prepares to announce a set of aggressive climate change regulations aimed at limiting emissions from coal-fired plants. Although a poll by the Pew Research Center last October found that 67 percent of Americans believe that global warming is happening, a Pew poll in January showed that Americans ranked global warming as 19th on a list of 20 issues for Congress and the president…
Some major software and mapping companies have already expressed interest in using the climate data. Chief among them are Google and Esri, a Redlands, Calif., company that supplies mapping and geographic information systems software to federal agencies, including the C.I.A., and city and local governments. Company executives say they anticipate a strong interest in the data. “There’s a market for this,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri’s chief executive, who joined Mr. Podesta and Mr. Holdren at the White House. “We’re excited to use it. Reading climate data in real time is unusual.”…
“What if we could make information about sea-level rise, extreme heat and drought as simple to digest and interactive as using Google Maps to get directions?” said Rebecca Moore, the engineering manager of Google Earth, who was also at the White House. “That is not possible, but we think it’s possible to get a lot closer. There’s the possibility to create a living, breathing dashboard in a way people can understand and relate to.”…

Ha! Less than 10 minutes ago, one of my brothers called about the plane and disapproved that I was watching Fox. I told him almost no one watches CNN. Then he got huffy.

“CNN’s dumbest news question, evar” looks a little dumb too when a simple word like “ever’ is misspelled. Having said that, I agree that canvassing Twilight Zone scenarios for missing MH370 flight is really weird, and is really “creating something from nothing” i.e. the longer the plane is missing, the more outrageous the scenarios for its loss become, based on similar information to that which was available within a day or two of the disappearance. It now seems satellite imagery has picked up possible wreckage in the Southern Ocean towards Heard Island from Australian mainland.

He was reading many twitter theories.
He did not say “is it preposterous to consider a black hole as a possibility?” (Watch the video)
Hate to defend him, but the “quote” is misleading & not accurate. Watched most of that segment, and the reading of many of the tweet theories – some were outrageous but some were plausible.
The only thing that matters is that the plane is no longer flying. But the Australian PM has just announced one of our Orion RAAF aircraft has spotted debris. But they are not certain yet and more planes are going to the area to investigate. Don’t know where the debris is. If it is and the black boxes are received then we might have some way of knowing what happened.
I still think you have to go a long way to beat that “meteor caused by global warming” question. That is the single dumbest thing ever. Even asking if the meteor came out of black hole is less dumb.
btw John Abraham claims that the evidence that all extreme weather events are human-induced is so convincing, it’s time for those who don’t believe in CAGW to be told they must prove their case.
Sorry, pat, probably beating you to it on this:
“Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370: PM Tony Abbott says satellite images could be wreckage of crashed plane”

The Australian-led search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight has had an apparent breakthrough, with satellite images showing two objects in waters off Perth.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Parliament on Thursday afternoon that an Australian P-3 Orion aircraft had been diverted to check out the objects and would be followed by other planes.

The first Orion was due to arrive on the scene about 2pm, he said.

Good luck, guys.
That right thar is why the US has become the global laughing-stock among much of the remainder 6.9 billion people on earth.
And watch, not one person will get fired for gross incompetence and stupidity.
Reward the epically dumb and then wonder why credence and loyalty are GONE.

Oh my, someone even worse than Nancy Grace.
Yup yup and aliens and crystals and the bermuda triangle (temporarily shifted to the Indian Ocean) and voodoo and don’t forget the zombie apocalypse!
PS. If this is the plane then we should know more about why it changed direction. It would be very sad that the pilots where in someways incapacitated and the plane was on auto pilot and just kept flying until it was out of fuel.

No one got the quote from Mary Schiavo? The Former Inspector General U.S. Department of Defense!
“A small black hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it’s not that.”
Phew! I was worried there for a second. LOL
Must have been a slow news day.
