I don't have the time to wait any longer

MEET THE GLOBAL-WARMING MCCARTHYITES
NEWSWEEK magazine, which tells us in a recent edition about a "well-funded," global-warming "denial machine," is itself something of a trashing machine, a journalistic pretender that mistakes smear for substance.

The stumbling, bumbling exercise in ad hominem McCarthyism takes it as an unchallengeable truth that global warming is a human-induced catastrophe that could be readily prevented, and concludes there is just one way to explain the "naysayers" to this holy writ: They are part of a "well-coordinated," heavily financed scheme cooked up by self-serving corporate interests to dupe the public and confuse or buy off politicians.

The article not only fails to make so sweeping a case, but skips over a fact that the rawest newsroom rookie should have picked up - namely, that the Chicken Littles have outspent the cited think tanks and other groups in trying to inflict everyone with the willies, scientific exactitude be hanged.


Al Gore began claiming that "the debate over Global Warming is over," thirty years ago; Newsweek followed fifteen years later.  So much for journalistic endeavor and exactitude.  Jay Ambrose takes on these weather-fascists in today's NY Post. Frankly, I'm bored by the obvious uselessness of this debate, and am ready for my trusty machine gun dialog.  Sorry, it's their fault, not mine. Wait, let me take my Prozac, and I'll get back to you.

Nobody makes money denying global warming. A startling number of people make money claiming global warming exists. Follow the money.

Wow, whether man or woman, communists have the same-shaped hands!

4bp -- it's because there's a shortage of hands in Russia. The forecast for demand was off by a few million units, and now the factory can't keep up with orders, so they have to share.
