Happy Memorial Day Weekend! CBS Doom: Climate to Get ‘ Worse and Worse’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Happy Memorial Day weekend, everything is awful! That was the message of doom from CBS This Morning on Friday as the show’s hosts offered “dire” new warnings and that Earth is going to just get “worse and worse” as we spiral downward. Guest host Enrique Acevedo warned, “Our Eye on Earth coverage continues with a new warning about climate change that has potentially dire consequences.” Climate specialist Jeff Berardelli admitted that the “disturbing threshold” of a rise in 15. degrees Celsius was arbitrary. But he predicted doom: “The intensity of these extreme weather events will pick up. We'll see compounded events, heat waves on top of sea level rise on top of large hurricanes and impactful hurricanes. Things will get worse and worse if we breach that.”
