WFAA Weatherman Pete Delkus Riles Up Folks With Global Warming Comment

|

Yesterday as the snow was coming down pretty good, Pete Delkus, a man who is unafraid to use exclamation points, tweeted the following:

global warming?????? ya…i’m buying that!!!!

As you might imagine, that generated strident responses from some of his tweeps. Things quickly got political. Delkus’ tweet made me scratch my head. I sent him note: “I saw your tweet yesterday. It was hard for me to tell whether you were kidding. So to be clear: do you or do you not believe that the planet is warming and that human activity contributes to (if not causes) this warming?” His response (which came posthaste):

The tweet yesterday was a total joke. I was just trying to tweek people. Which apparently worked!

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Delkus. I like the cut of that guy’s jib. He’s unafraid to rock the French cuffs. And he seems like he’s having fun!!
