Controversy
On February 14, 2009 Lewis raised the issue of a global warming controversy with a post on Twitter. "It's so sad that smart people don't pay attention to the science that proves global warming is a hoax." Her comments were sharply criticized, notably by fellow radio host and podcaster Leo Laporte who said her statements were inconsistent with overwhelming scientific opinion on climate change. Lewis later reinforced her statement via her blog. On February 1, 2010, her husband posted a public apology, in which he claims that the original message on Twitter was in fact written by him, as was typical throughout the production of GeekBrief.TV. The referenced post on her blog and the original tweet have been removed. Neal Campbell has claimed both on his blog several months ago (removed) and more recently on Twitter that he is the author of all of her words stating most recently on Twitter on August 29, 2010 that "Cali is as much me as it is Luria...." "Everything Cali said, I wrote. Cali is my thoughts + her spirit."

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
