Bret Baier believes that the Earth is not warming, but cooling, contrary to what nearly every scientist who actually has the data and the expertise to render judgment on the topic. Environmental issues are dismissed by every Fox employee as the liberal-elite-media and scientists trying to control your lives, when in reality Fox is controlling people by giving them deliberate misinformation. Is Bret Baier attempting to help the environment and the problems it faces in a world where most people don’t give a second thought to any needs but their own? No. Bret Baier is the epitome of the problem, that the environment is fine on its own, it doesn’t need our help, nothing is wrong with it.
This type of thinking is very short sighted; we can only let so much polar ice melt before our coastal cities are flooded. At that point there won’t be very much we can do, there will be too much carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide trapping the suns rays for us to get rid of, CO and CO2 are very difficult to get out of the atmosphere in large quantities. Thinking for the long term would cause Bret to tell people that conserving resources and reducing pollution is the only way to sustain our way of life. If the planet dies, we die with it.
Baier and the rest of Fox aren’t considering all the effects that a diseased planet will have on our health. With more carbon mono- and dioxide in the air, our lung health will deteriorate. Has anyone considered that at a certain point, breathing conditions will be so poor that sports records will never be broken again. Athletes won’t be able to get enough oxygen to use their muscles to their fullest extent. What then will the neanderthals at Fox have to do on Sundays besides attempt to host meaningful discussions about what really matters. By giving environmental stresses and science as a whole the middle finger, Bret Baier and Fox News have made nearly half of America distrust science and loath environmental protection. There are no benefits to doing this if you live in the real world, there are only costs. But when you live in a world where you'll say anything to get money from companies that kill the environment for profit, there can only be benefits in what you say, never a cost, never a penalty. Bret Baier is incredibly selfish, incredibly naive, and entirely a puppet owned by the big oil companies and others who have a stake in low environmental regulation. Who needs air when you've got all this money?
