Reporter Gives Update Covered In Sea Foam: MyFoxNY.com
MYFOXNY.COM – A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md.
WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him. Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland. He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That “organic material” was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm.
“It doesn’t taste great,” he said.
He said it had a sandy consistency and added, “I can tell you first-hand, it doesn’t smell great.” The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria. 60 mph wind gust sprayed the toxic mix across the reporter and the boardwalk and coated buildings. Bubbles and foam in the ocean can be caused by several other things, including oils from decomposing animals.
Mom always told me, even a dog has enough sense to get out of the rain.
I’m deeply saddened that no reporter was decapitated on live TV by a flying road sign or other debris. I want my god damned money back!
#17. It’s complicated. Hopefully, you will never be able to label me. Labels are bullshit.
I am not AGW, Climate change is happening. But whether man-made, or just mother nature’s way of stickin’ it to the man..what good will come from taxing us, especially now.
Skepitcal on my part as to how the “taxed” money is going to be used in any way, shape or form to resolve any of this.
Question to you.. how would these monies be accounted for? We get no accounting for the money we throw at these morons now, and people want to give them more?
Education about environmental issues, including birth control, a serious Manhattan type Project geared towards alternative energy, and I’m on board.
Throwing money at phonies like Gore..then you have lost me.
Sorry about the whiskey fueled response, it’s the best I can do under the circumstances. There is just something about a fine scotch…better than heroin.
McCullough–a man’s man eh? I admire anyone that can drink straight booze. I can’t do it. Everything gets mixed. My favorite right now is a little Home Made Bailey’s after a good meal.
Yeah, I see that conservative/no taxation thing going on with you but underneath a let’s do what is rational approach to you. Ever try to meld those two or do you just flip-flop as the whiskey speaks to you?
You act as if one taxed approach with its inherent fraud, waste, abuse, pork, and mismanagement if different or avoidable from a different taxed approach of the same? False distinction. EVERYTHING/EVERY PROGRAM we engage in will be rife with these errors. Saying you avoid one while accepting the other is only a form of reinforcement/gilding the lily once you have made up your mind however it is done.
So you are a “don’t label me” kind of guy huh? We all inherently carry 15-20 labels on ourselves all the time. Don’t even know what it means trying to avoid it. Simply said: we are all labels: the sum total of all our labels==not just one or two.
Label me: contrarian, as one of 50.
I think you might be conflating too much the proposed carbon credits of Algore with AGW? Just because we don’t support Algore doesn’t mean we should disbelieve the underlying issue. I don’t want to be taxed to provide cancer surgery/heart lung transplants for 80 year olds===but that doesn’t mean I deny cancer exists. Too much of that polluting the discussion.
But, I’m sure you know all the arguments as well as I do—so why argue?
Yeah, me too.
#19,
It’s not hard. If it looks like shit, and it smells like shit.
Well there is pedro and Alphie. They, … Never mind.
NExt up for this reporter is some fake memos.
Yo Bobbo, you should get some more up to date numbers, 2010 showed a drop in sea level rise. NASA calls it a pothole on the road to higher sea level.

Next time Al Gore compares skeptics to racists, they should ask him you mean like your dad, who voted against the civil rights act? And did you ever complain when your home state was celebrating the founder of the Ku Klux Klan with Nathan Bedford Forrest Day?
#23. Again I would support a well funded and accountable project to get us off our oil Jones.
But comparing Global Warming skeptics to racism is asinine.
Gore can kiss my ass.
How would a FOX reporter know this shit is different from the shit they normally report? Looks like what I envision santorum to look like.
Given the descriptions, I’m guessing this crap smelled not unlike a working septic tank. Not raw, but damned close to it. Poor fool must be a city boy, probably doesn’t even know what a septic system is.
Hope he doesn’t catch any bizarre diseases.
#26–MikeN==Fantastic Link. thanks. Its good to see you basing your reality on SCIENCE rather than Voodoo Economics.
You make light of the explanation==the ocean’s fell because more rain fell on land. There are pictures and charts supporting that.
What do you want?===AGW is proven only if some measurement is resolutely absolutely solidly constantly in one direction only? THAT is not the SCIENCE of the situation. There are MANY MANY variables. First time I had ever thought of more rain meaning more rain would fall on land meaning the oceans could lower in depth for a period.
I find the SCIENCE to be fascinating don’t you? Yes science.
What a concept.
Yes. SCIENCE===its how we understand the world/universe we live in and then we turn to anti-science bible thumpers and self dealing greedy Super Rich for our political and social life.
And the level of our sophistication as a culture plummets in negative correlation to the steady progress of Global Warming.
Quite a situation.
Keep the good stuff coming Mike. You might stop and try to understand it every once in a while.
#28–McCullough===quite talkative on this subject?
I agree with your repetition of all three elements ESPECIALLY the last one. Your ass, not mine.
What politics does to us.
If global warming is continuing an inexorable march, then where is the ocean heat? There is a lot of unaccounted for missing heat in the planet. This was the topic of one of the Climategate e-mails by uber-alarmist Kevin Trenberth, saying it was embarrassing they couldn’t account for it. The focus on planetary temperatures is foolish because the atmosphere contains only a small part of the total heat, equal to about the top few meters of the ocean.
Why does the ocean get cooler each year with all that CO2 in the atmosphere? See Roger Pielke Sr for more.
Hey Mickey==you are starting to rave. Ha, ha.
Yes, sounding just like a flat earth darwin denier: finding your anti-science faith in the gaps. Where are all the missing fossils?????
Why don’t you focus on the mountain of evidence you can see for yourself, the logic of it, the settled science of it, the common sense of it, and STOP forming your conclusions from the cracks, gaps, and remaining puzzles?
Why don’t you do that Mickey????
The rest of you retards too.
Yea, verily.
Now the science is settled too? Common sense tells me that when top scientists form a blog to explain their science, and then that blog goes about ignoring reasonable questions, or deleting them, that something is up. Logic tells me that when data is used upside down to reach a conclusion, that something may not be quite right. Especially when scientists refuse to issue a correction when this upside down use is pointed out to them(search for amac blog).
The mountain of evidence is built on many weak links, and has climate models as a primary source. Real world observations are not as convincing. That the planet gets warmer from humans emitting CO2 is a reasonable conclusion. That the warming will be catastrophic, or anything over 3C is not as convincing.
Some of the counterpoints like missing ocean heat, challenge even the settled part you mention.
McCullough your picture is brilliant! It poetic justice to see how this shitty reporters network “myFOX” is repeatedly underlined!!!!
One point of clarification, I do not claim FOX as my news network, therefore; the “my” in “myFOX” is another FOX lie!!
Mickey: “parts” of the science are settled. If it were all settled, there would be no gaps.
There will always be gaps in any honest system.
Mind the gap.
Just a gap to not know whether warming is 1C or 4C?
Mickey–don’t you think the Hurricane Irene was instructive two days ago? Did you see the plot of the probable course? The probable wind speed, waves,swells, and so forth? Everything “a range” based on assumed variables.
Why do you call that a gap? None of the experts do.
Special language for special people I suppose. Funny, special people, average people, normal people and experts all call that area between your ears a gap…….but it too is in reality a range. What is your range Mickey???? From your postings, I’d go from dull normal to retarded. That too is definitional.
Always another missing fossil in the record. Always a gap.
Mind the gap.
Hmm, very instructive. People were told to evacuate parts of town, get the hell off the beaches, this is going to be a big one, at least by wimpy Northeast standards. Then the reality was it wasn’t even a hurricane.
If that is what you mean by global warming science, that CO2 emissions will lead to either catastrophic warming or warming that is no big deal, then OK, I’m with you.
