As Florida officials began issuing evacuation orders on Tuesday, as Hurricane Irma ravaged Caribbean islands, radio host Rush Limbaugh told his listeners that media coverage of the storm was fueled by "a desire to advance this climate change agenda." (Photo: DonkeyHotey/Flickr/cc)
On Tuesday, right-wing radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh claimed the media was intentionally exaggerating threats about Hurricane Irma to advance a "climate change agenda" and enable local businesses to make money off of emergency preparation efforts. On Thursday, Limbaugh indicated he will evacuate South Florida ahead of the storm.
"May as well go ahead and announce this," he said during his Thursday show. "I'm not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow.... We'll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown. So we'll be back on Monday. It's just that tomorrow is going to be problematic. Tomorrow it would be, I think, legally impossible for us to originate the program out of here."
