Like the AP, the content of “news” on USATODAY seems to be for sale to the high bidders.

I read the article for grins and it did not disappoint. the sources are all tainted, IMO and Facebook, underwrites the stuff.

Let’s pick this up again in February, shall we!

... and she is lying — publicly — about something that is so clearly true ... that is so very well documented. Well, her secular religion — as pretty much everything the Left thinks and does — does not tolerate disagreement; actually, in this matter, heresy.

This is a “fact check”? They pea in our faces and tell us it’s raining warm piss. Unbelievable imposition. Crude and childish gaslighting.

They wonder why no sensible person wants to read their trash.

We all witnessed it and now they try to tell us it didn't happen.

LOL! Well then, what happened to “global warming”? Did it disappear? Or, are they admitting it was a scam?

But other crazy believers do because in confirms their predispositions to disregard reality. IMO.

Whether the so called climate experts did the replacement or not is irrelevant. The media certainly did. A far more interesting metric would be how often the two terms appeared in the MSM over the years.

“But global warming became the dominant popular term in June 1988, when NASA scientist James E. Hansen had testified to Congress about climate, specifically referring to global warming. He said: “global warming has reached a level such that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause and effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and the observed warming.”4 Hansen’s testimony was very widely reported in popular and business media, and after that popular use of the term global warming exploded. Global change never gained traction in either the scientific literature or the popular media.” - NASA

And, it was Global Cooling / The Coming Ice Age before that!

Some people aren’t ignored enough.

Well, Gannett is closing their Rochester printing plant and the “newspapers” for Upstate will now be trucked in from New Jersey. Keeping with the whole climate narrative. NOT. LOL!

That’s true.

First it was Man Made Global Warming before they changed it to Global Warming and then to Climate Change.

BS. Absolute BS. They started saying climate change when there rose competing arguments about whether the planet was warming or cooling. Fact checkers are just making stuff up.

At the bottom of the article:

“Our fact-check work is supported in part by a grant from Facebook.”

[And Facebook takes its orders from the deep state globalists, same as Twitter.]
