Warmist hysteria intensifies as temperatures plunge
Thomas Lifson
With temperatures falling since 1998's peak, and much of the nation shivering, global warming propagandists become have become shriller, even asserting counterfactual propositions. Case in point: Seth Borentstein "science" reporter for the Associated Press.

Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters debunks the "global warming is accelerating" nonsense offered by AP to gullible (or mendacious) editors in newsrooms across the country. It is remarkable to see bald-faced lies so readily debunked.

The willingness of media outlets to offer self-evident tripe in the face of both the data of the past decade and the immediate experience of people in their daily lives right now has to be considered a form of hysteria. Both the Associated Press and the newspapers which collectively own it are in serious economic trouble, with substantial layoffs accomplished and likely to be repeated, and questions about their survivability evident to everyone.

Instead of focusing on improving performance and survivability, the organs putting forth this claptrap jeopardize their already shaky reputations. It is suicide by propaganda.

Meanwhile, Al Gore, speaking in Germany, has predicted that the polar ice caps will be gone in 5 years. Meanwhile, the 20 foot rise in ocean levels, which he predicted "in the near future" is nowehere to be found. Miami is not under water.

This buffoonery would be merely amusing, were it not for the intention of the Obama administration to cripple our economy to prevent the imaginary harm so recklessly predicted.
