There is no reason to “save the planet.”
It was never in danger.
We can continue to clean up our own mess, of course, but not at the expense of jobs and the economy.
Or political freedoms.
Not so fast ... They want to fix it and then restart the scam with fixed up science. They do seem to know they overreached.
Like with health-care, FRANKENSTEIN always seems to revive.
Wait, I forgot, he has no honor.
Newsweek is still falling all over itself to give credibility to the hoaxers and denigrating many of the “deniers” as rank amateurs who are just trying to poke holes in climate change without real science. Man caused global warming is a HOAX and a fraud perpetrated by Al Gore and others for personal gain and political agendas. The US media are deniers of this truth.
What a steaming pile of biased excrement this column is. Every possible (and impossible) positive is attributed to the warmers, and every possible slur (deniers, for example) is attributed to the skeptics, who have been proven right time and time again.
MSM salvage operation, trying to salvage what they can so they can start the global warming hoax anew.
Yeah, not surprising that there is a plaintive wistful tone about the article....sort of a 'I can't believe it all came crashing down with a thud'. Hopefully, they and the Gorecle will be able to come out of their state of denial and move on... and as for the Gorecle himself, we can only wish him well in his future endeavours.
But of course, ALL of the evil, scheming deniers are in the pay of the greedy (republican-supported) oil companies....
It is the socially-correct, “loyal and truthful” holycost SUPPORTERS who are altruistic and honest, NEVER corrupted bby the 80 billion in research money squandered on their schemes and endless research in support of the “truth according to Al Gore...”
I guess the federal funding must'a ran out.....
Then I read the article. They couldn't have given the IPCC and the warmists softer treatment. They whitewash several major scandals and problems. They mention that the "hockey stick" graph is questioned but never mention that it has now been discredited.
Many more examples.....it's still Newsweak.
What the hell--they aren't going to instantly see the light and repent in a flash of conversion in public. It will take time. But when Newsweek starts even talking seriously about "Climategate" you know there has been a change in the weather.
All the article does is bemoan loss of momentum. It attributes it to “denier” unfairness, sloppiness in peripheral matters, or to understandable secretiveness of government scientists. It doesn’t touch the underlying reason: there hasn’t been any reliable science produced that can be backed up by credible data. It’s all been a product of massaging or cheating.
Do you mean to honestly state that NEWSWEEK ran a story about global warming being a LIE??
Thanks for providing a synopsis. I was afraid to click on the link, and evidentally my fear was justified. LOL
They’re at the first stages of addiction recovery-they have just recognized they have a problem. I look forward to the more painful parts of their recovery, in fact, aren’t they about due to go bankrupt?
As other posters have pointed out, their is value in having Newsweek proclaim that the global warming industry is on the defensive, and that they have behaving badly.
Newsweek may feel that this problem is one that can be massaged by the US media. But, in reality, the issue is being settled by British investigators and the scientific community itself, no longer cowed by the bullying of the past. The American liberal media has been reduced to neutered bystanders, saddled with the evidence of having been on the wrong side of science.
Acid rain ...
At the power plant where my dad worked, over the years they made changes to address this. Changed the kind of coal burned and used technology to scrub the emissions as best they could.
So, I guess we don’t hear as much about it because we worked on the problem ...?
At that time we were also supposedly heading into another ice age.
