Global Warming

[Bill-SOCAL]

Sadly you are once again completely wrong. The so called "Climategate" is an absurd reach on the part of the deniers. But it is useless to argue. But still, let me at least provide this information:

But I know you will enjoy your Christmas on the flat Earth upon which you with the sun revolving around it.

I'd rather be on a flat earth than worry about the sky falling. See tag line at the end of this post.

OK

"There has been a very slight cooling, but not anything really significant," Willis says. So the buildup of heat on Earth may be on a brief hiatus. "Global warming doesn't mean every year will be warmer than the last. And it may be that we are in a period of less rapid warming."

And from one of the articles you cite:

Wong's take is that melting arctic ice is responsible for the cooling of the oceans.

NPR??? Now there's an unbiased reference.

Why not just quote Tass or Pravda?

NPR was simply reporting a story. The issue here is that you see this as some sort of political thing. You have filtered the science through your political filter and concluded that it is a hoax. Until you somehow can look at it as a scientific issue versus a political one there is little hope that you will understand that actual issues.

But what can I expect from someone who is so juvenile in their thinking that they find calling liberals mentally ill amusing. If that is the extent of your intellectual sophistication then it is no wonder you think Al Gore invented Global Warming to screw you with more taxes.

NPR was simply reporting a story.

I'm not sure which "political filter" is being used to determine this, but NPR is HARDLY an "unbiased" news source... I listen to them regularly, and they are clearly in need of a visit to the "No Spin" zone...

[Bill-SOCAL]

Well, regardless, the Factcheck.org article makes it clear that at least "Climategate" is BS.

As far as a bias in their report, please show me where you see that.

Here is the guy they quote:

http://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Willis/

Here is a blog he writes:

http://blogs.jpl.nasa.gov/?p=8

A NYT report on Willis' work:

http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/ocean-cooling-and-global-warming/

And his actual words:

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2008/03/31/josh-willis-on-climate-change-global-warming-is-real.aspx

So in light of this, again, please show where NPR presented a bias in their story about ocean cooling.

I like this direct quote of Dr. WIllis:

It is important to remember that climate science is not a public debate carried out on the opinion pages of newspapers. What we know about global warming comes from thousands of scientists pouring over countless data sets, conducting experiments to figure out how the climate works and scrutinizing every aspect of each other's work.

Seems that somehow these hoaxers have gotten this glacier (and many others around the globe) to go along with their hoax:
