For only the second time in 85 years, Time magazine abandoned the traditional red border it uses on its cover. The occasion – to push more global warming alarmism.

The cover of the April 21 issue of Time took the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Joe Rosenthal of the Marines raising the American flag and replaced the flag with a tree. The cover story by Bryan Walsh calls green “the new red, white and blue.”

Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, told the Business & Media Institute April 17 that using that photograph for that cause was a “disgrace.”

“It’s an absolute disgrace,” Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”

God, how far will the left-wing media stoop for this global warming nonsense?

Time editor tells MSNBC 'there needs to be a real effort along the lines of World War II to combat global warming and climate change.'

Does he suggest firebombing and nuking the CO2 emitters?

Liberalism is a greater threat to humanity than was WWII.

These people are all on crack, especially the fat, sweatty, psychotic Gore.

I wonder how much Algordo paid Time to do this?

Isnt’ that photo protected/copyrighted??

I'm pretty sure it is -- however what do you want to bet that they'll "claim" that it was a parody and therefor a valid exception under the copyright law.

Someone should nuke TIME! Just think of all the trees THAT would save!!

I am honored to be friends with a man who was a Navy Seabee and stood on Mount Suribachi at that instant and watched the scene unfold.

I would gladly hold the editor of the magazine while letting my friend whip his butt(even at 80+ years old).

I use to get Time given to me, no charge, for may waiting room. When they went ultra liberal I just filed it in the circular file. I refuse to pick one up and read the garbage they print, I wasn’t going to poison my patients minds with their leftist commie publication either.

I give them a few more years and they will be out of business.

. The cover story by Bryan Walsh calls green “the new red, white and blue.”

So Time Magazine now questions the patriotism of those (such as myself) who don't buy into the alarmist global warming agenda?

Every time I think that each issue of Time Magazine sucks worse than anything that has ever sucked before, they come out with yet another issue.
