Chad Myers

He was spoofed on Late Show with David Letterman after climbing into a mock-up of the Chilean miners' rescue capsule. The producers of the show shot him into the sun after showing him climbing into the mock-up.

In 2005 during Hurricane Katrina reporting, Myers had an on-air argument with anchor Carol Costello, when she kept interrupting him during a broadcast. He yelled, "Let me talk, Carol!" after she referred to him by name in an attempt to encourage Myers to clarify some of the more technical terminology used in his report.^[2]

In 2010 Myers claimed in an on-air interview that climatologists were only reporting the climate is changing because their jobs were at stake and that "they worked for the government".^[3]

In August 2016, Bill Nye criticized CNN for having a "climate change denier meteorologist";^[4][5] however, Myers wrote that subsequent to 2013's crossing of 400 ppm carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, he was no longer a “skeptic”, and had changed his views on the science behind climate change.^[6] "I concluded that my original theory of 'it could be something else' wasn't likely the case," Myers said.^[7]
