Ass-off or on? Seriously?
>> high-brow veneer
Like that.
Compressed elitism in my opinion.
In all seriousness, they have a point. It’s a rare hour or even half hour indeed on NPR when they don’t
- blame something on global warming
- chide or threaten global warming “deniers” individually by name or as a group
- demand more government research into global warming
- demand more taxation to fight global warming
- offer experts proffering new mechanisms of global warming or “proofs” that global warming is getting worse
- explain away research that shows that global warming isn’t as bad as they say it is, or isn’t getting worse
If you’re used to a nearly quarter-hourly diet of that, and simply shout at the radio all through “Car Talk” and occasionally “Fresh Air”, you’re going to look like red-faced Yosemite Sam with steam coming out of his ears if NPR doesn’t give full coverage to the event of the year.
Well, now that you mention it...
