While Carbon Dioxide Density as furnished by the consumer habits of the USA enabled by the oil administration in DC continues to cause huge problems with Global Warming, CNN's AC360; who promoted themselves over the tragedy of Katrina; now treats the impending West Coast storms as a commercial opportunity.
The 'Climate Diversion' is furnished by Chad Myers. The AC360 team would have you believe they are honorable, moral people of the highest standards and truth. Wouldn't seem to be the case.
This is 360.

COLLINS: For the next few days, the weather out West promises to be -- well, challenging. While some areas got a white Christmas, for others, the week after Christmas looks to be mostly wet and very, very windy. In Modesto, California, rains may have already caused a mudslide that caused a multi-car accident that left one person dead. And there's more rain on the way -- a lot more. (AUDIO GAP) for you as you try to make it home this holiday week, let's go in and check in with CNN meteorologist and severe weather expert Chad Myers. Hey, Chad.
CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Hi, Heidi. The good news is, this is a warm system. So, if you get to the passes around Truckee, you get to the passes over the Cascades, it's going to be rain.But above 8,000 feet, there's literally a potential, with this connection to the tropics out in the Pacific, for four to eight feet of snow above 8,000 feet. And that's great, because you can drive to the resort. You can go skiing. You get tons of snow. You have to be careful, of course, with the avalanches at eight feet. But, anyway, you can at least get there. And then the snow levels kind of come up and down, maybe one to three inches of snow around Truckee possible, but that literally will be it. The forecast, though, this is the next 48 hours. And I want you to pay attention to these dark purple areas. Everywhere that you see a dark purple area is a foot of snow or more. Now, talking the 14ers. We are talking Telluride, right up into Summit County, back all the way across, even to the Tetons, the Wasatch, and then right through the Sierra and up into the Cascades. Get above that snow threshold, and it's really going to be coming down -- some light snow in the East, but nothing in the purple range. We will see that rain change over to snow as you get higher in the elevations. We are looking for flooding in the North Bay area, I mean, from San Francisco up to Eureka, looking at the Russian River, could see six inches of rain by Friday, and then these higher elevations, as the air is pushed up the mountains. That's where the snow will be, right where it should be.
(LAUGHTER)
MYERS: Back to you, Heidi.
COLLINS: Sometimes, I wish if I should have -- wonder if I should have moved from Colorado. I don't know.
(LAUGHTER)
COLLINS: All right, Chad Myers, thank you.
MYERS: You're welcome.
