Doom and Gloom CBS Wonders If It's 'Too Late' To Fix Climate Change

Scott Pelley hyped the latest United Nations global warming report on the 7 November 2013 edition of CBS Evening News, proclaiming that "climate scientists have never seen greenhouse gas readings like what they announced today....scientists with the United Nations said that greenhouse gases, which influence climate change, have hit their highest level in 800,000 years – mostly because industry is ramping up in the developing world".

John Blackstone underlined the supposed apocalyptic nature of this finding. He asked a University of California, Berkeley researcher if it was "too late" to do anything about climate change. However, Blackstone failed to mention that this sole talking head has advised President Barack Obama on energy policy.
