Among people with half a brain, global climate change is neither new nor controversial.
What's the "news"?
"The Arctic as a region is an excellent harbinger of future change, Briner said, because the signals or clues that signify climate change are so much stronger in the Arctic than elsewhere on the planet."
Who are these people (I refuse to call them "scientists") trying to fool?
Google "Jason Briner" and see what you find. I'd give the kid a break; he's only had his Ph.D. since 2003 and his page only lists six first-author peer-reviewed articles.
