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.
This is so upsetting at so many levels. I am afraid we must let the ignorant suffer their self constructed prison.
We have no means to help these people.
Personally, I wait for the NTSB report which usually takes ~ 1 year to be released.
Then again, if it was sucked into a black hole, it would/could/might explain the radio silence.
So there is that.
It is either in the hands of its captors, or in the ocean.
Lots of families ……..
Hmmm …
Crew on @USNavy P-8 spotter tell @WrightUps “significant radar returns” coming from site where possible #MH370 objects spotted.

Oh the Humanity!
A lifetime of deep propagandizing will do that to ya though.
Jim B says:…….
Quite so.
The lady is a little confused.
This universe is a naked singularity, there may be others but if so we know nothing of them. As we know nothing about the elsewhere whence our universe came.
We do know that our universe had a beginning and will end but not how it will do so.
We do know that black holes are singularities within our universe and therefore are subject to the arrow of time, in effect they obey the second law of thermodynamics. They too have a lifetime and a shorter one than the universe itself in which they exist.
So fear not and indeed LOL.

Oops, correction, that is the video on the linked WUWT article, it’s video is missing now. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/02/11/why-we-dont-take-cnn-or-bill-nye-seriously-anymore-asteroid-meteor-global-warming/
American ignorance of geography beyond the confines of the United States has now been joined by a competitor… American ignorance of basic Science opr even Common Sense.
I daren’t look. Did Bill Nye say yes ??
Is it preposterous to wonder about the black hole and the whereabouts of Dr. Trenberth’s missing heat?
Comments like this one made by CNN must be ruining business over at The Onion.
CNN is the new “Ship of Fools”. The political left is cratering.
Rapture
Didn’t Disney make a movie about something like this? Maybe back in the ’70s? Can’t remember all the details….
This country is degenerating into a mass of low-double-digit IQ idiots.
Jim –
i was tempted to post the latest on the plane, but got caught up in the John Abraham interview on public radio, so u beat me to it. hope the mystery is resolved, for better or worse, soon.

20 March: Guardian: Posted by Dana Nuccitelli: A remarkably accurate global warming prediction, made in 1972
A paper published in Nature in 1972 accurately predicted the next 30 years of global warming
John Stanley (J.S.) Sawyer was a British meteorologist born in 1916. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1962, and was also a Fellow of the Meteorological Society and the organization’s president from 1963 to 1965.
A paper authored by Sawyer and published in the journal Nature in 1972 reveals how much climate scientists knew about the fundamental workings of the global climate over 40 years ago…
Sawyer’s paper was followed by similarly accurate global warming predictions by Wallace Broecker in 1975 and James Hansen in 1981.
This research illustrates that climate scientists have understood the main climate control knobs for over four decades. Perhaps it’s about time that we start listening to them…

20 March: Engadget: Timothy J. Seppala: Google and Microsoft are using the cloud to track climate change
The raw data comes from the likes of the Department of Defense, NASA and the US Geological Society, but probably isn’t easy to grok for the average person. To help with that, Google and Microsoft have stepped in. Mountain View is donating 50 million hours of its Earth Engine’s computing power — the Global Forest Watch’s backbone — and is partnering with academics in the western US to produce a near real-time drought map and monitoring system.
Redmond, on the other hand, has developed a tool (dubbed FetchClimate) that can both recall historical climate data and forecast future weather trends based on the stockpiles of information stored in Microsoft’s Azure back-end. For example, the software giant says that this could allow state planners to predict extreme rainfall, preventing flood damage to infrastructure and transit lines as a result. These are still early days for the Initiative, but, as times goes on, more applications using its wealth of info will surely surface. For now, though, it’s nice to see tech companies exploit government data instead of the other way around…

Did these people have to fail an intelligence test as part of their terms of service?
well….not a black hole, but close

Why such a valuable piece of property as Boeing 777 (not to mention human lives) couldn’t be equipped with a coordinates-transmitting device that cannot be switched off from inside? In the case of a black hole, of course, even that wouldn’t help…
if there were no mobile phone calls from passengers to me that suggest sudden catastrophe rather than hours of flights.
Alexander Feht says: Why a 777… couldn’t be equipped with a coordinates-transmitting device that cannot be switched off from inside?
Everything electrical on an airplane (even your house or car) has to have circuit breaker. Basic safety. Circuit breakers are mandatory safety items. The AICARS modem (the INMARSAT data system) circuit breaker was behind a cockpit panel that the pilots don’t normally have access to, but would know it’s location anyway from tech manuals and training. That is how it is believed it was turned-off, via a circuit breaker, the data modem to the transmitter was killed but the transmitter itself was actually put in a standby state, pinging the satellite but not transmitting a/c data).
Too much coverage while concrete evidence was rather lacking. Hmm… seems familiar.

You really, really should learn how cell phones work (radio range, cell tower antenna coverage patterns, etc) before you make another comment like that on a blogsite with a bunch of techno-geeks. Unless one of those passengers had a Iridium handset, a phone call was impossible. Also the pilot probably anticipated resistance from the cabin occupants, so he depressurized the plane and climbed to 45Kft, while he was on a pressure O2 mask, which would quickly incapacitate and killed the cabin occupants as the little passenger emergency dixie cup O2 masks don’t work at 45K. And the flt attendants’ walk around O2 bottle would only last about 3-5 minutes at 45Kft.
My guess–the pilot ran amok because of the conviction of his favored candidate. The voice recorder will confirm or falsify.
As a convinced “d-e-n-i-e-r”, I naturally prefer the conspiracy explanation. The black hole was of course provided by the aliens.
