CNN Declares No Two Sides to Climate Change Debate
Newsbusters ^ | February 23, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 02/23/2014 7:44:57 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Have you ever seen a four year old kid who is completely closed to any type of reasoning? Typically his hands will cover his ears and he will scream loudly to block out any arguments others might give to the contrary. Well, CNN has become that unreasoning four year old kid.

And what type of reasoning is CNN attempting to block out? Anything that might contradict their blind faith in global warming or climate change as they now call it. Yes, CNN has declared that there are no two sides to the climate change debate. Here is the amazing shutdown debate statement written by Hardy Spire that CNN released in a promo for today's Reliable Sources:

And there are some stories which do not have two sides. The climate change debate is one of them. Nevertheless, many news organizations continue to equate the skeptics with the scientists. This week NBC’s Meet the Press faced criticism for its debate between Bill Nye the Science Guy and Rep. Marsha Blackburn. We’ll talk to Michio Kaku from the City University of New York and CBS News as well as Jack Mirkinson, Senior Media Editor at the Huffington Post.

Only God controls the weather. The more people take God out of the equation the worse the weather gets. Perhaps the Lord is throwing hints.

It's true, the climate changes.

The idea that we did it, and can change it back by wasting trillions on "green energy", is what I'd like to debate.

It took me all of one second to find a list of climatologists and scientists that the media could talk to if they wanted another side to the story. But of course the AGW cult can't abide heretics.

They describe climate realists as akin to holocaust deniers; however, it is the global warming cultists who are increasingly acting like holocaust deniers. An example is Michael Mann suing Mark Steyn for Steyn's tree diculous comment. This resembles holocaust denier, David Irving, suing Deborah Lipstadt for pointing out he is a holocaust denier.

I think today's neo commies accuse the other side of the odious things they themselves are doing because they suffer from psychological projection. The idiocies they say and do are just so disgusting that they themselves cannot handle it.

"And there are some stories which do not have two sides. The climate change debate is one of them."

If it is settled, why are they spending so much money continuing to study it?

What’s really FUnnie is watching them try to peddle this BS under the banner of “science”. They must have been playing hooky the day the “scientific method” was taught in school.

I can refute MAN made global warming in one paragraph

Once upon a time, long before the industrial revolution, north America was covered in ice. It is no longer covered in ice. Why? Non MAN made global warming.

As an added bonus, humans thrived along with this global warming so you could say global warming is something we would want to occur.


Off subject a little. The point we all have to understand is it is not about GLOBAL WARMING. It is about controlling the people. Global warming is nothing more than pretext to do what they want to do.

Sort of like when they cut off the water to the California central valley and then blame “the drought”.

We are being conned.

If the science on Global Warming is “settled” then why do scientists keep asking for government funding to study it?

What’s the difference between a Climatologist and Astrologist??? Nothing!!! Well actually...., Astrological predictions are probably more accurate. I did win five dollars on the lottery on Wednesday.

“And there are some stories which do not have two sides. The climate change debate is one of them”

ROTFLOL!

Hardy boy, kinda hard to have a “debate” with only one side. I think you meant to use the word “dogma” instead of “debate”. Otherwise, your “debate” would be pretty much just mental masturbation, which BTW, is what so-called global warming (oops, I mean “climate change”) is really all about.
