The global warming guerrillas

No, I was not blaming El Nino on global warming. I was blaming it on the fact that last summer Pacific Ocean temperatures were 2 degrees above normal. Next year they might be 2 degrees below normal, then we would probably get a La Nina event. Climate change/GW can not be determined on a few decades of variation. It needs a longer time frame. A fact that hysterics on both sides of the argument often forget.

Here is your post:

"You are right, it is Global Warming.
Apparently, temperatures in the Pacific Ocean were 2 degrees warmer this summer (centigrade?). This has created an extremely strong El Nino event which has caused all this precipitation across North America. They really needed it in the West after several years of drought. Remember the big fires."

And you posted the same nonsense to more than one thread

"I told Boss about those go-rillas but he didn't believe me."

Well, they could seek out people with opposing beliefs. Ask them to poke holes in the statement from the first source.

This is what would happen if the reporter was objective.

However, since the media hacks went to liberal journalism schools and were taught by leftist professors, the answers from leftist glo-bull warming scientists fit the template they've been taught to accept.

It's kind of like carbon monoxide. A molecule of carbon monoxide fits a molecule of hemoglobin better than a molecule of oxygen. So the body accepts the carbon monoxide more readily than oxygen and kills itself unknowingly.

Leftists automatically accept leftist ideas without thinking and that will eventually kill us all.

It's time to purge the schools.

Journalists are wont to moan that the slow death of newspapers will mean a disastrous loss of investigative reporting. The web is all very well, they say, but who will pay for the tenacious sniffing newshounds to flush out the real story? ‘Climategate’ proves the opposite to be true. It was amateur bloggers who scented the exaggerations, distortions and corruptions in the climate establishment; whereas newspaper reporters, even after the scandal broke, played poodle to their sources.

Just like Rathergate.

Right. I addressed the preconception issue in a different post, but I was responding to a Freeper who asked how people too ignorant to understand the science could tell if they were being fed BS, and I was showing how it was possible, absent bias on their part.

Sorry, I should have added a sarcasm note. There are so many factors involved in determining a long term climate trend it is hard to pin down an answer. However, the short term El Nino/La Nina events are a lot clearer, and hot Pacific temperatures do trigger El Nino events.

Surveys of journalism students consistently show that the most common motivator for the student to enter the field is “to change the world.” Accurately reporting events is far down on the list.

[Still Thinking]

Well, to “change the world” and not have it be a cluster-fsck, you first need to know the truth. Course I’m preaching to the choir, THEY leave college thinking they’ve been imbued with enough truth to last the rest of their lives, so they never need question any of their core beliefs.
