\"cnbc\"<\/p>\n

CNBC’s Joe Kernen isn’t interested in your preposterous theories that climate change<\/a> has anything to do with carbon dioxide emissions caused by humans.<\/p>\n

You think last month was among the warmest Januaries of all time<\/a>? Don’t bother him with such talk.<\/p>\n

Though nearly 100 percent of climate scientists<\/a> said climate change was caused by human activity less than a year ago, Kernen has his own ideas. After letting out a hefty sigh, Kernen had the following to say:<\/p>\n

“[Climate change] is almost like witchcraft … In the middle ages, you would attribute adverse weather events to witchcraft. “Now, you just have CO2 at this point.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As Hufington Post<\/em><\/a> points out, Kernen has never been shy about calling out those who believe in climate change. He just slightly modifies the names he calls them.<\/p>\n

@gregladen<\/a> @JunkScience<\/a> @wattsupwiththat<\/a> every adverse weather event? 15 years of flat global temps? You’re no better than a witch doctor<\/p>\n
