Hello, global warming. Goodbye, journalistic ethics.

The newest Time magazine/ABC News poll showed about two-thirds of Americans still believe there’s a debate about global warming, despite the media’s best efforts to convince them otherwise. Americans now face an onslaught of one-sided global warming coverage that downplays or even derides critics and skeptics.

“It’s no longer a controversy. Science tells us it’s a fact. The new issue of Time magazine tells us to worry,” proclaimed ABC’s Terry Moran on the March 27 “Nightline.”

“It’s no longer a controversy. Science tells us it’s a fact. The new issue of
Time magazine tells us to worry,” proclaimed ABC’s Terry Moran on
the March 27 “Nightline.”

And thus a small army of journalists will burn a LOT of fossil fuels.
Flying to places like Mt. Kilamanjaro (sp?) or the Artic Circle,
peeing, poopin' and breathing on "fragile ecosystems" and taking advantage
of their corporate expense accounts on great eco-vacations masquerading as
"reporting".
Meanwhile, doing their part to destroy the parts of the planet
that they think they've been anointed to save.

Yeah, THAT'S how seriously these journalists take global warming.

Okay, tell Americans to park their cars, quit flying in air planes, quit using natural gas for heat, do not burn wood, walk everywhere you need to go, don't cut a tree down for anything, bring down all the dams, declare the entire country a national park, no buses, no boats, no gas engines at all, no industry, no burning anything. Then give everyone a new blanket, a new pair of shoes, and get on with life. We'll see how they feel about global WARMING when they are freezing their collective butts off walking to work. Oh, wait, there won't be any place to work, it will all be closed down. /sarcasm still on.

"It's no longer a controversy."

I agree. I've pretty much come to the conclusion it's a bunch of AlGore.

Science tells us it's a fact.

Correction: "The 'scientists' we pay for quotes because they agree with us tell us whatever we tell them to tell us."

"The new issue of Time magazine tells us to worry"

Then I know not to worry.

I read some of the highlights and threw my Time in the trash (got it free with Delta sky miles not realizing that I would only have to pay to throw them away), further proving the media hysteria to help promote liberalism and the Democratic Party, when the truth is that the ice that is melting was there because of a global climate cyclical "Little Ice Age" that occured for roughly 500+ years from 1300 to the 1800s, and that global warming is occuring as a natural cycle of the earth macro-climate, partly caused by the Sun and minutely aided by emmisions of greenhouse gases. Notice in the Time article, the table showing the "proof" of global warming, the data starts in 1880, or a time that is past the LIA. BUT, you'de better ACT NOW and elect a liberal to the Presidency before the earth burns up into a cinder, caused by apethetic Republicans, even though the vote in the Senate to turn down the Kyoto Protocol was 99-0 (bet Kerry was the absentee but I don't know).

Oh yeah, I believe everything Terry MORON says!
(Ever notice his eyes are about two inches apart?)

Every night I pray for two things: global warming and $1.25/gal gas.
