Newsweek’s recent cover story about global warming

I also read the Newsweek cover story by Sharon Begley. Her attempt to mislead is revealed by her reference to "naysayers who still reject the overwhelming evidence of climate change". The “naysayers” do not reject the evidence of climate change. The sound scientific evidence required for a true consensus is lacking.

Unfortunately, for this nation and the world, there are enough fools who will accept her little tryst with Al Gore from 1979 to 2005 as evidence indeed. The article is a sad commentary on how uneducated and how willing to remain uneducated Sharon Begley is. Perhaps even sadder, she is not alone.

I just got back from a week in San Francisco. The TV there is from an alternative universe as far as I was concerned. Local CBS station was running an ad to ask for contributions to fight global warming as if it was an obligation and not an option. And not one word on what the money would actually be used for.

The August 20 issue of Newsweek contained an article by Robert Samuelson, "Greenhouse Simplicities", that slammed Begley's article as "a highly contrived story". One Newsweek writer slams another. Weird.
