Update on Global Warming

The Canadian National Post continues to expound on the widespread scientific opposition to the idea of anthropogenic global warming. When I first linked to this series of articles, it contained ten articles. The list has now been expanded to 33 articles, with the suggestion that more are to come. Find the current list (and hopefully the ongoing index) here.

If only there were an American media outlet that had the courage to print such a series of articles. But no, like the recent Aug. 13 Newsweek front-cover article (sorry, can't access it online without coughing up money) on the topic, entitled "Global Warming is a Hoax* (with the asterisk leading to a line at the bottom of the cover indicating that the statement was supposed to be a joke), almost all of the coverage in the American media is so pro-global warming it makes me sick. To the writers at Newsweek, let me reiterate: I am a scientist who does not believe in the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming and I am NOT on the oil industry's payroll.

At least in other countries (which we are being told [erroneously] are more accepting of this fairy tale than we are) the press still sees fit to pursue both sides of an issue to get to the truth. In America, it seems all the so-called journalists have partaken of Al Gore's Kool-Aid.

Is it any wonder that more and more people are getting their news from the Net?
