Stuart Varney asks Morano if the tide is changing on “global warming” is there a “retreat” from warmists?
Morano: “The opposite may be happening. They are getting more extreme. We are going on almost 18 years with no global warming according to the latest satellite data. So now we have studies saying there will be an increase in rape, increase in barroom fights, increase vehicle thefts, and increase in prostitution and that there will be more airline turbulence.
They are getting more and more absurd tying everything to global warming — tying global warming to Ebola. Just the other day they are saying ISIS terrorist group was created by global warming because drought conditions helped created desperation which led to an extremist ideology. They just won’t stop, they just keep coming and coming with more absurd claims.”

Ebola Links:
Warmists criticize media for Ebola climate link! ‘The evidence is incredibly weak’ – ‘Newsweek and CNBC ran stories this week linking climate change to Ebola. I talked to 3 scientists who said ‘Nooope.’ – ‘Prematurely reporting on this link is harmful, they say, because it undermines good research that is being done on the growing link between global warming and other types of infectious diseases, such as malaria and cholera.’
CNBC: ‘Ebola outbreaks may become more frequent because of climate change, scientists have warned’ – Some scientists believe global warming—and the subsequent increase in extreme weather—could be a factor behind in the virus’s ascendance. “If you are going to get more severe dry spells followed by heavy rains that might lead to more outbreaks,” William Karesh, the executive vice-president for health and policy at the EcoHealth Alliance, told CNBC on Thursday.
WaPo: ‘Will climate change worsen Ebola outbreaks?’
British Medical Journal: ‘Climate Change Bigger Health Emergency Than Ebola’ – ‘Deaths from Ebola infection, tragic and frightening though they are, will pale into insignificance when compared with the mayhem we can expect for our children and grandchildren if the world does nothing to check its carbon emissions,’ said the editorial, written by the magazine’s editor in chief Fiona Godlee.
CBS MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ LINKED TO EBOLA, CHILD PARALYSIS VIRUS – Dr. David Agus, a medical contributor for CBS News and a University of Southern California medical professor: ‘Something is happening now. We have multiple viruses. And together with global climate change, things are changing in the virus world and we have to pay attention.’

Walrus Climate Links:
Walrus Key Points:
Zoologist Dr. Susan Crockford: Mass haulouts of Pacific walrus and stampede deaths are not new, not due to low ice cover – ‘The attempts by WWF and others to link this event to global warming is self-serving nonsense that has nothing to do with science…this is blatant nonsense and those who support or encourage this interpretation are misinforming the public.’
‘The Pacific walrus remains abundant, numbering at least 200,000 by some accounts, double the number in the 1950s’
‘Dating back to at least the 1604, there have been reports of large walrus gatherings or haulouts.’ – ‘Walrus haulouts are not unusual and have long been recognized and islands have been set aside for such gatherings.’
Walruses known to migrate away from ice in late summer & fall: “In the non-reproductive season (late summer and fall) walruses tend to migrate away from the ice and form massive aggregations of tens of thousands of individuals on rocky beaches or outcrops.”
AP’s own reporting debunks unprecedented walrus claims: The AP reported on 40,000 walruses in a haulout just 7 years ago in a single location.
