Saw this on fox weekly and didn't see anyone post it yet. People on 4chan and reddit are saying this could lead to a nuclear confrontation?

 

your thoughts..

The word Fox is in the sentence. It can safely be ignored.

I mean its a NASA scientist who said it.. 0.o

FOX couldn't get his name right, you trust them to quote him in context? FOX is a blight on the world.

No, it is Fox who say a NASA scientist said it. This could be because

1) They did not understand what the NASA scientist actually said.

2) They cherry picked what the NASA scientist said

3) They took what the NASA scientist said out of context

4) They lied

The direct quote is "nuclear disruptions are very likely to occur". There's nothing else reported that makes a link to weapons detonating. The scientist could have easily meant that disruptions at nuclear power plants are likely, or something else.

 

Lazy, sensationalist journalism.

I like concise statements. The three words in your last sentence can be replaced with one word: Fox.

three jeers for fox news.
