Snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, Snowtorious B.I.G.

Oh my… the media has gone crazy again, and everybody is attacking everybody.

UPDATE: In addition to Talking heads all over cable news and radio, fighting with one another over a snow storm on the east coast of America, Donald Trump called for the public denunciation of climate activist Al Gore.  According to The New York Post, Trump was quoted in a speech to five hundred members of his “Trump National Golf Club” saying,

“With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore,”

Then later:

Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn’t care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America’s stupidity.”

As The Huffington Post points out, Trump seemed to lack observations of Vancouver’s unusually warm weather—where the home of the winter olympics is experiencing a lack of snow.

But Trump was not the only billionaire to weigh in on climate change this week, Bill Gates also gave a talk to TED last friday.

Let it be known that the second week of February 2010 will go down in history as being a catastrophic media blunder.  Below you will find every bit of the fight you’ll ever need to see:
