The Gray Lady continues her downward death spiral:
It must be great fun to be part of the mainstream media these days: Make up stories, unencumbered by fact, and when contradictory facts do get in the way, just spin it a little more. A prime example is The New York Times’ treatment of global warming. In a recent article, the Times named this summer the coolest in the Big Apple in over a century, citing a “persistent jet stream” (a.k.a. Mother Nature). Yet the Times was also careful to remind us that 2009’s cool summer and extremely cold winter do not disprove the theory of man-made climate change.
Granted, there is a difference between the weather and the climate, but when asked to explain its 2000 article stating that the warmer-than-usual winter of that year was man-made, the Times responded simply that those temperatures had been on point with scientific predictions — made by scientists purporting that humans are causing global warming. And around and around.
But the media are not alone in pumping out bogus stories of anthropogenic global warming. Many scientists are bent on suppressing any opinions (along with the very real scientific findings supporting those opinions) that run contrary to their own. But a revolt has started among the “deniers” (as those who do not believe in man-made climate change have been dubbed). Recently, several members of the American Chemical Society wrote scathing letters to its global warmist editor in chief, Rudy Baum, exposing his shoddy treatment of them and their work. “Your editorial was a disgrace,” wrote ACS scientist Dennis Malpass. “It was filled with misinformation, half-truths, and ad hominem attacks on those who dare disagree with you. Shameful!” One can only imagine the similar disgust journalists with integrity must feel toward those in their profession.
