Topic: Sierra Snowpack

A news report on the Sierra Nevada snowpack is criticized for using a random young man as an "expert" commentator. The hosts cite documentarian Adam Curtis and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to illustrate how modern news often relies on "blowhards on the street" rather than qualified sources.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger released a Google Earth-based video warning of a 7-degree temperature rise and the disappearance of the Sierra snowpack. The video is criticized for appearing to be a commercial for Tesla Motors, highlighting the $80,000 electric car's 0-60 mph acceleration as a primary solution for climate change.
