Arctic ice melt IS a problem because right-wing newspapers smell, explains Guardian climate expert
The Telegraph ^ | 9/9/2013 | James Delingpole

Posted on 09/09/2013 4:57:35 AM PDT by markomalley

At the weekend my old mucker David Rose reported in the Mail On Sunday the shocking news that there is 60 per cent more sea ice at the Arctic than there was this time last year. So too did Hayley Dixon in the Telegraph. The implication of both pieces was that perhaps this global warming thing we've been hearing about ad nauseam this last couple of decades isn't quite the deadly threat the 'scientists' have been telling us it was; that indeed, maybe the more pressing worry ought to be global cooling.

Luckily the Guardian's token Big Oil employee and environmental expert Dana Nuccitelli has stepped in to explain what the problem is. It turns out that both the Mail on Sunday and the Telegraph are utterly rubbish publications, staffed by lying liars whose bottoms smell of ploppy poo, and who just can't be trusted to report on science accurately.

These two articles at the Mail on Sunday and Telegraph continue the unfortunate trend of shoddy climate reporting in the two periodicals, particularly from David Rose. They suffer from cherry picking short-term data while ignoring the long-term human-caused trends, misrepresenting climate research, repeating long-debunked myths, and inventing IPCC meetings despite being told by climate scientists that these claims are pure fiction.

Based on their history of shoddy reporting, the safest course of action when reading a climate article in the Mail on Sunday or Telegraph is to assume they're misrepresentations or falsehoods until you can verify the facts therein for yourself.

Lest there be any doubt that Nuccitelli is right, here are a few Guardian commenters, venting their righteous rage:

The Press Complaints Commission will, no doubt, back these journalists and their right to lie and peddle disinformation.

Now there's irony for you.

I get it...

Because if facts come out that do not support manmade global warming, then they are, ipso facto, not facts, but lies.

A very convincing scientific argument, by the way! /S

Oh, so the reports are just lies. Here I thought the wackoes would report that globull warming had actually caused the additional Arctic sea ice to form.

Globull warming crime families sound just like the Nazis did when they were put on trial. They are weather Nazis so it does make perfect sense.

This lie has to fail before they roll out that old scab.

The common element in gun control, climate change, speech codes, “fair share” taxation and dietary regulations is control. The left hates power when it resides in private hands and slavishly worships power when it is in government hands. Ironically, they have accurately assessed their own lack of ability to rationally wield power. Unfortunately they extend this notion of deficit to all of us.

When schoolyard bullies realize that they are being stood up to and will loose the fight normally resort to name calling as they runaway.

The ado about global warming will not cease until the perps dream up an equally lucrative scam. An “economic justice” tax might do the trick, but they’re still laying the groundwork for that one.

The Left is in full fightback mode. Caught lying? Lie harder, and make stuff up about the people who caught you.

Why, it would be criminal to have a gun in a “Gun Free Zone”.
