WEATHER MYTHS: It's hurricane season and I'm told that because of global warming there are more hurricanes and that hurricanes are stronger, but that's just not true. Meteorologist Maria Molina debunks more weather myths. Then, Oceanographer John Englander, author of "High Tide on Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis," and CATO Institute climatologist Pat Michaels debate global warming and the effect of rising sea levels. SHARK MYTH: Movies like Jaws taught me that when I swim, I should worry about sharks. Andy Dehart, from the Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto, says you are more likely to die driving to the beach. BEE MYTHS: If the sharks don't get you, the bees might. The media warns that killer bees are invading America. Bee removal specialist Mike Mollica says killer bees are very aggressive and more dangerous but they only kill 1 or 2 people a year.
