Just when you thought it was safe to open a news web page . . . Yahoo and other news outlets are again putting at the top of some of their news web pages the "first time in human history"
ice thaw at the North Pole. Next will be a photo of a man standing on the corner with a sign, "The End is Near".
This is of course, old news, and explainable in terms other than global warming. And even if the planet is warming, and there is legitimate debate on that fact alone, it does not mean we caused it. Scientists have long known that the planet has warmed and cooled regularly, long before the industrial revolution. When the MSM think they are losing the public's attention, they repackage old drivel in yet more breathless terms. Nothing like a little global warming to head off increased oil development.
Here is a
contrary article from Fred Singer, a real scientist who is not in the tank for the PC police. Note that it was written in 2000, when the MSM was even then predicting doom from polar ice melts. That was just after they were predicting a new ice age.
These people need to get a life.
