Vermont Maple Syrup Producer Complains: NBC Edited My Remarks to Support ?Global Warming? | NewsBusters
While hyping the alleged effects on climate change, NBCs May 6 Nightly News tried to localize the impact by citing a different problem in each region. The broadcast played a clip of Burr Morse, a seventh-generation maple syrup producer from Montpelier, Vermont, stating that this seasons weather had been too warm. Contrary to this clips implications, Morse told the MRCs Business and Media Institute that cold weather actually did more to harm this years maple syrup season.
Morse complained that NBC had selected a short sample of his full remarks to support their point which was global warming. Morse said he didnt want to be the cause of any hysteria, emphasizing that he is confident in the future of the maple syrup industry and its ability to circumvent the weather with technology.
NBC White House Correspondent Peter Alexander told Nightly News that Short winters are already harming Vermont maple syrup famer Burr Morse. Then, NBC played a clip of Morse saying It didnt quite get cold enough at night.
Anybody who spent the 2013/14 winter on the East Coast should immediately have become suspicious as the winter remained cold through March, incidentally when the maple syrup harvest typically begins.
In fact, Morse claimed that winter hung on a month longer than it usually does. Because of this lingering cold, Morse started tapping his maple trees in April instead of March. By April, however, the nights were slightly too warm for the ideal 20 degree temperature, hence the actual context for NBCs excerpt.
Rather than suffering from the heat, Morse described this seasons primary hardship as cold, saying a big part of the season was that it was too cold.
