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

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.

I wonder why more people aren’t making the connection to billionaire Lefty Envirowhackist Tom Speyer... when 100 million bucks yells “jump!” Lefty Whores yell back: “how high?” – witness SecState lunatic Kerry blurting his warmist mouth stool from the Middle East last week... huh? Brief pause. Oh, right... 100 million bucks. It couldn’t be more obvious once you think about it.

From the Encyclopedia Britannica: Astrology consists of several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and... developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations.

From the Encyclopedia Goreannica: Climatology consists of several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between weather phenomena and events in the human world. Many cultures have attached importance to meteorological events, and... developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from meteorological observations.

The idea that we should even try to prevent climate change needs to be considered. Nature has been changing the climate for billions of years. Even if we could, would it be a good idea to try to stagnate the climate?

“No Two Sides to Climate Change Debate”
Isn’t that an oxymoron? It is not possible to have a debate unless you have an opposing point of view...

Of course there’s climate change — with every season change — every snowfall, every “Indian Summer”.

So we can not let them get away with calling their global warming BS money-making scheme by any other descriptive name.

Ridicule them/Question them on why the name change and refuse to go along with their games.

We used to learn that in grade school.

My guess is it’s no longer being taught, considering an informed public is a danger to the activists.

A guy at work was telling me the other day what a good thing it is that Popular Science decided to close its Comments sections forever, because they were getting nutcase comments from flat-earth nutcases. I just shook my head at him.

Warming fanatics have all the characteristics of cultists. It really doesn’t matter how well researchers and cult critics present evidence that refutes cults and their apologetics. If the same research is used twice, the cultists will come back and say it is the same old argument that was wrong to begin with. Without knowing what the research is, or how the critics defend their position, the fanatics dismiss it as old news that didn’t work.

They need to ask Mark Steyn about that. He is on Dr. Mann’s a$$ like white on rice. To the tune of $10 million!

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

Outstanding! Have them whip up a final report on the subject and shut the doors and go home. Just think of the money/energy/resources the urt mudder can save.
