Update 10-05 10:50 | Matthew Sheffield. Later in the program, Marciano followed up with even more on how Gore is wrong, clarifying, however, that he does still believe in the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

“He does talk about tornadoes, implying there's an increase in tornadoes from global warming. That's not necessary true. What is an inconvenient truth is the globe is getting warmer and humans are the likely cause of it. So Al Gore's message we should lower emissions from green house gas is a good message."

Marciano also had more to say about Gore's hurricane postulates: "There’s other factors involved. There’s humidity, there’s wind, pressure fields, dust in the air, the list goes on. There’s much more that goes into making a hurricane, Kiran, than just warm water," he said, addressing anchor Kiran Chetry.

"But the thing about last year's hurricane season, were slightly below average and that was because we had el Nino, a lot of wind shear. A study that says an increase in wind shear will come as the globe gets warmer, which may decrease hurricanes, so the debate continues and I find it fascinating."

“Just don’t say anything for a couple more days," Chetry replied. Am I the only one who's suspecting Marciano had some major blowback for his even-partial transgression?
