Fox Does Science
It's cold outside Bill O'reilly's house in Long Island this morning, and they got snow in Boston in February.
Therefore, global warming does not exist.
The clowns yuck it up pretty good in this clip.
Man, I smell an Emmy for excellence in science reporting. 
Please, don't counter with some statement about Fox's ratings. This segment is pathetic.

Re: Fox Does Science
Did they mention that the Pacific Northwest is experiencing warmer temps and some areas are breaking records, too?
Probably not.

Re: Fox Does Science
That's typical of Jesse Watters' "reporting".
I always wonder how many people he had to edit out of his "reports" because they didn't give the answers that satisfied his predisposed conclusion. He seems to adhere to the Forrest Gump school of journalism: "stupid is as stupid does". If you get a couple of people to give ridiculous answers, or act totally dumbfounded about a subject, Watters seems to relish the situation and smugly thinks this proves his point. This is Jesse Watters'' idea of "investigative reporting". Great reporting Jesse . . . don't bother making room on your shelf for any awards.

Re: Fox Does Science
Taken way to serious? I think so!
It’s Watters World…….
No it's not serious reporting? Stephen Colbert satirizes Fox News’s Jesse Watters

Re: Fox Does Science
Well, Stephen Colbert worked for an entity named "Comedy Central".
Watters works for Fox News.
Is Fox aspiring to be a fake news station?

Re: Fox Does Science
Perhaps the irony of Colbert's satirization of Watters' "reporting" has eluded Common Sense.
Oh yeah, and the Colbert Report won a couple of shelves full of broadcasting awards.
Watters gets a chuckle and a pat on the back from papa bear and an intermittent spot filling in on The Five.

Re: Fox Does Science
Yes, I was a bit confused about what point commonsense was making by linking the Colbert clip, except to show - brilliantly, and hilariously - just how truly awful the work of this Watters guy is.
