Study: Global Warming Reduces Hurricanes, Will Media Notice?

Written by Noel Sheppard, newsbusters.org | 01 March 2010

A new study predicts that global warming, contrary to claims made by Nobel Laureate Al Gore and the his fellow climate alarmists, will actually reduce the number of hurricanes by as much as 34 percent by the year 2100.

The report just published in the journal Nature Geoscience also found that the increase in tropical storm activity the planet has seen since 1995 is part of a natural cycle completely unrelated to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

BBC tells the truth – shock horror! – iceberg not caused by global warming

Written by Gerald Warner, Telegraph | 26 February 2010

When were you last galvanised by a news report on the BBC (other than with irritation and contempt, I mean)? Yet that was my experience, watching today’s lunch-time News on BBC1. When it came to a report on the 48-mile long iceberg that has broken off from Antarctica, I thought: “Here we go again. Prepare to don tin hats for incoming AGW barrage.”

Ofcom has launched an investigation into the government's climate change TV campaign after receiving hundreds of complaints that it is a form of political advertising.

The media regulator has received about 700 complaints about the £6m TV campaign, Bedtime Stories, launched by the Department of Energy and Climate Change last October, with a significant number arguing the ad is a form of political advertising.

Sail on, Oh Newsweek...

Written by Russ Vaughn, American Thinker | 23 February 2010

Wow, when even the diehard lefties manning the bridge at Newsweek begin to worry that there may be icebergs ahead in those swiftly rising seas, you have to wonder if the global ardor for global warming isn't cooling more than just a bit. But in what can only be described as a modified limited hangout, Newsweek reluctantly acknowledges in a lame, excusatory manner, that maybe, just maybe, this whole global warming thingy might have been conducted a bit more scientifically.

ClimateGater Jones' Stunning Global Warming Revelations Ignored

Written by Noel Sheppard, newsbusters.org | 16 February 2010

The absolutely stunning global warming revelations this weekend by the man in the middle of the ClimateGate scandal have gone almost completely ignored by America's press.

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, Phil Jones, the head of the British Climatic Research Unit at the heart of ClimateGate, told the BBC: the recent warming trend that began in 1975 is not at all different than two other planetary warming phases since 1850; there has been no statistically significant warming since 1995, and; it is possible the Medieval Warm Period was indeed a global phenomenon thereby making the temperatures seen in the latter part of the 20th century by no means unprecedented.

In Blizzard, Conservatives Mock Global Warming Alarmists, Left and Media Outraged

John Kerry, scaring the crap out of people since 1989

Back to back Washington, D.C. blizzards prompted conservatives to mock the global warming crowd last week.

Grandchildren of Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., built an igloo on the National Mall and christened it “Al Gore’s New Home.” Fox News anchor Glenn Beck employed his trademark sarcasm to make fun of the “disappearance” of warming priest Al Gore and devotee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. since the snowfall. Beck picked on Kennedy because of a 2008 op-ed lamenting that global warming had changed the D.C. climate leading to “anemic winters.”

Global warming news index: It's quality not quantity that makes a difference

Written by Thomas Fuller, SF Environmental Policy Examiner | 11 February 2010

If you type global warming into Google news, you get a lot of hits. Oftentimes, my articles appear in the results. Amazingly, I don't consider that a good sign for the debate on global warming. This is despite an elevated sense of self-worth and confidence in my product.

Global Warming Doublespeak: Snowmageddon Blizzards Are Part Of Heating Trend

Written by Steve Watson, infowars.net | 11 February 2010

A New York Times article has stunned some readers by suggesting that an ongoing global cooling trend is actually indicative of how quickly the planet is succumbing to man-made global warming.

While cap and trade legislation has literally been buried by snow and put on ice for 2010, the corporate media continues to engage in mental gymnastics, announcing that we should expect more snow due to dangerous human-driven climate change.
