To: Al Roker, NBC Weatherman
Thank NBC weatherman Al Roker for telling Rush Limbaugh to “STUFF IT”
Reporting on the weather is not about politics, it is science. Thank you, Al Roker, for standing up to Rush Limbaugh and other demagogues by fighting back with the truth.
Why is this important?
As record cold temperatures swept the country last week, right-wingers seized upon their own ignorance to push their anti-science agenda.
On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed that liberals had just invented the term “polar vortex”—as a ploy to “help the global warming agenda.”
But NBC weatherman Al Roker refused to let that stand. On the Today Show, he definitively proved “polar vortex” has been a well understood term among meteorologists for 50 years. then he added:
Then he added: “So for all the doubters out there, STUFF IT.”
Roker’s bravery is exceptional. The Koch-funded right-wing echo chamber bullies weather reporters on a regular basis, as they attack the scientific consensus that climate change is a real problem. It’s about time that more weather reporters stand up to this demagoguery.
Join us in thanking Al Roker for telling Rush Limbaugh to take his right-wing, anti-science conspiracy theories and "STUFF IT."
