On Monday, May 12, all three network evening newscasts hyped the dire consequences of a new NASA study which show that “large parts of the western Antarctica ice sheet appears to have collapsed.”
ABC, CBS, and NBC hyperventilated over the report, and warned of rising sea levels in the immediate future. CBS News’ Elaine Quijano warned “A 10-foot rise in sea level would submerge tunnels and subways here in Manhattan and parts of Queens and Brooklyn. But, Scott, it would also put the entire city of Miami Beach and much of South Florida underwater.”
NBC Nightly News and ABC World News offered news briefs while the CBS Evening News provided a 1 minute and 37 second report. NBC’s Brian Williams fretted that “Scientists say further degradation is almost certainly unstoppable. They say global warming is accelerating the pace of disintegration.”
ABC’s Diane Sawyer struck a similar tone:
"An alert about falling ice in the western part of Antarctica. They say 40 years of data showed the glaciers are melting so fast, it is now unstoppable. They project the global sea level will rise three feet or more by the year 2100 and low coastal areas like much of Florida will be the hardest hit."

Networks seized on an hysterical story in The Guardian. Anthony Watts explains why this is hype:
who knew it was 75 degrees in the antarctic?
But killing millions of babies doesn’t bother them.
oh, no, we’re all gonna die.
light hair on fire, run about, shriek and shout, until some lout - comes along and knocks us out.
Some 95% of all the personal woe in this world is self-induced.
The original article says not much will happen for 86 years, and after that the rest will happen somewhere between 200 and 900 years.
They call the part that might take 900 years the accelerated part.
There was an article here last night in which the “scientists” said it’s too late to do anything about it. I recommend that the idiots working for ABC, NBC and SeeBS in New Yawk get themselves some hip boots.
I predict Dutch technology being profitable in future then.

As one Website states...Klimate Klux Klan global warming profiteers depend on the ignorance of their audience. It allows politicians to tax, spend and assert more control. Look up the word fascism if you get labeled a ‘denier’
Here’s some data on the average temperatures in Antarctica:
Most times of the year...stays at or well below freezing most of the year.
I don’t think that ice will melt anytime soon.
they are dutifully performing their virtual state media role and line of march
They were peddling the same sack of s**t 40 years ago, except that the coastlines would move inward by the end of century (2000).
How come in the 15 plus years these wackos have been decrying that global warming will kill us all, no one has asked a simple question.
“what is your proposal to fix it and what happens if you create global cooling as the result? “
We almost lost Wayne, NJ in 2006.
This NBC video shows the devastating flood.

FR comments and link to the story:
Guardian’s Suzanne Goldenberg jumps the shark again – gets called out by NYT (Antarctic "collapse")
I doubt any of them bother to mention that the melting has no connection to what is referred to as the global warming phenomenon, caused by human activity. They either lie outright, and associate the melting with global warming; or they have a global warming story in close proximity and let the viewer draw his own false connection between the two stories.
NY and Miami underwater. What’s the down side in this article?
