I would like to offer 4 things that might be wrong with that picture.
1) Their salary depends on (network TV) ads by the energy and auto industries?
2) They did not take a serious science or math course in school? (You mean an audition for morning talk show host does not include a few questions on radiation physics or the carbon cycle? And, still we trust these people to ramble-on in front of our young?)

3) It is 1984, and Big Brother proves his power by having people recite nonsense? (Big Brother being a euphemism for negotiators from the US, Saudi Arabia, and Russia that removed ‘alarmist” content from the IPCC reports after the “scientific” writing had been completed.)

4) Lord Voldemort has taken over all the US federal agencies related to science and the environment and we are all waiting for Harry Potter to come save us?

Since this blog has a theme of economics/follow the money, I pick option 1. On the other hand J. K. Rowling got rich, so I cannot rule out option 4.
