ClimateGate: A Tale of Two Stories, One Ignored, and Another Hyped

ClimateGate: A Tale of Two Stories, One Ignored, and Another Hyped

First, this from Newsbusters

The broadcast networks still haven’t uttered a single word about the revelations late last week of e-mails showing scientists on the left-wing side of the global warming debate plotting to hide data and silence those on the other side in an effort prop up the notion of a “consensus” on the issue. But when the liberal side of the debate charged that their opponents were involved in a “conspiracy” to tilt the debate in their favor, those same networks eagerly jumped on the story and castigated the evil “deniers.”

In 2007, as Brent Baker chronicled at the time in the MRC’s CyberAlert, the broadcast network evening newscasts jumped to hype a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing meant to publicize a report from two far-left groups about how the Bush administration supposedly suppressed science about the dire threat of global warming — as if that view wasn’t getting plenty of play in the mainstream media.

So, the broadcast networks have completely failed to run the story that emails, confirmed to be legitimate, demonstrate that climate scientists have been altering data to fit their point of view, as well as attempting to silence those who disagree.  However, they take the reports of the left as gospel, and broadcast allegations of conspiracies from the right.  Funny that they missed a situation in which there is actual evidence, isn’t it?

Well then, what has the broadcast media been running regarding AGW?  Let’s take a look at this from ABC.

There’s even less time for humanity to try to curb global warming than recently thought, according to a new in-depth scientific assessment by 26 scientists from eight countries.

Sea level rise, ocean acidification and the rapid melting of massive ice sheets are among the significantly increased effects of human-induced global warming assessed in the survey, which also examines the emissions of heat-trapping gases that are causing the climate change.

“Many indicators are currently tracking near or above the worst-case projections” made three years ago by the world’s scientists, the new Copenhagen Diagnosis said.

Nor has manmade global warming slowed or paused, as some headlines have recently suggested, according to the report, which you can see here.

The scientists also calculate that the world’s emissions of heat-trapping gases must peak in less than 10 years and then dive quickly to nearly zero, if warming of more than another 2 degrees Fahrenheit above the current annual global temperature is to be prevented after 2050.

I think we can see where the broadcast networks stand.  They ignore evidence of blatant fraud, and continue to run even more hysterical stories regarding the end of the world.  They apparently don’t think that you need to read or hear about the climate scientist that talked about using a “trick” to “ hide the decline,” or know about the American climate scientist that emailed his British counterparts, lamenting the fact that their data does not show warming.

Nope, you don’t need to know that, do you?

Is it any wonder that their audiences is disappearing?

Matt I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
