Mainstream Media Ignores Climategate
The Obama administration has another reason to hate Fox: it appears to be the only national television news outlet in America interested in the growing ClimateGate scandal.
Despite last Friday morning's bombshell that hacked e-mail messages from a British university suggested a conspiracy by some of the world's leading global warming alarmists -- many with direct ties to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- to manipulate temperature data, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC through Monday evening have completely ignored the subject.
LexisNexis searches indicate that NPR appears to also be part of this news boycott.

K.Marx - You can't believe in this with all the proof it is just an over reaction of MSM and money making machine - Al Gore seeking to scam the world to either make money or give away our money to third world countries. You can't believe this is true if you believe in God and how powerful his creation, the earth, is. Meager humans can damage, but will not ruin it. I do believe we have to cut down on waste, but that can be done without ruining our economy and businesses through extra ordinary taxes on top of all the other taxes the Democrats want to put on the US Citizens. The MSM is still under the influence of koolaid drinking from Rahm and the Obama administration. Oh yeh we have to throw in Clinton and Gore too. They are still in love with them too.

@Keninatlanta:
Apparently you haven't been paying attention to the news lately. The role of investors has shrunk. They give the capitol investment, but ceo's and boards make all the decisions. There have a voting power, but even that has been run over by corporate.
You think that corporations have their investors' and customers' interests at heart? They would never harm america or go against american values? You have got to be kidding.

1. It's tough to deny the climate is getting warmer. Through my lifetime, at least in my corner of the world, that is pretty obvious. The trend line of the empirical measurements support that conclusion.
2. It doesn't matter what the cause of the warming is. It could be geothermal, solar, water vapor, or it could be CO2. What difference would it make? Warm is warm.
3. Trying to reduce our "carbon footprint" won't work. Probably won't hurt much, but it won't help much either.
4. Tsunamis toppling Manhattan and flaming bubbles of methane rising from the oceans are nothing but Hollywood special effects. The Earth and probably human beings are going to be here for a while yet.
5. The IPCC models are way off. Unfortunately, they seem to be understating the pace of increase in both temperatures and ocean levels.
6. The greater danger is that our ability to produce food, secure potable water will be compromised by global warming. Enormous geo-political pressure will be exerted by peoples who are forced to migrate by even small increases in sea level.
7. I am concerned that the American Republic will be hard pressed to meet the challenges presented by global warming. Particularly at a time when the American people are so polarized and the debate is dominated by shrill extremists on both sides.
8. Denial seems like cowardice to me. I'd rather go down fighting.
Oh PLz Don't Feed Me that BS
i think we should all be environmentally friendly - i do not believe that the earth is "getting warmer" - maybe it feels like that where you are -but from where i'm sitting ice storms are still as bad as they were when i was a kid.
recycle and do your best to save energy - that's what i believe and have always believed. i don't believe government should step in and FORCE citizens to PAY for going OVER their carbon emissions! that is like the government making you pay taxes on the air you breath - utterly ridiculous, a total scam and an outright assault on ones FREEDOM.

Global warmers just don't want to acknowledge their insignificance. They actually believe they somehow are affecting the weather! Global warmers have meaningless lives, so in order to compensate for their misrable existence they worship a faux theory, a theory arrived at by consensus. Global warmers have nary an idea what they worship! Global warmers, read this carefully, "You are being duped into a scheme to take your money away and give it to "BIG GREEN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS" that will also end up running your pathetic lives and making you more miserable than you already are "!
Global warmers, if you want to do something important try going to China and stop the commies from polluting the Yangtze or go to Iran and protest the ten new nuclear processing plants.

The media continue to cover for Obama and his minions. This time they simply ignore some facts. That's a favorite trick of the left - ignore any facts that oppose their ideology. The mainstream media no longer represents the interests of the American citizens which is no surprise, neither does the Obama administration
Ginty McGinty
Why is the mainstream media not covering this "story"? Because its the mainstream and leaves the weird and the wonderful wacky stuff to fringe media like Fux Spews and the National Enquirer.
A couple of emails taken out of contect from a computer that has been hacked does not make for a "gate" story. Its serves only to excite nutters around the world.
Over a thousand emails "taken out of context!" LOL! You spewed your usual "Fux Spews" and your tiresome "nutters" comment and yet you have not been capable of disputing one scientific fact. You are a "useful idiot" for your dialectic ideology, which you probably don't even realize you follow, and are more than willing to cut your nose off to spite your face. I suggest you review dissenting and consenting opinions on the matter. Global warming has become a secular religion with folks like you. IT'S RIDICULOUS! There IS evidence of warming throughout the solar system, what's being disputed here is the apocalyptic hysteria surrounding anthropogenic global warming. NO, it's not "settled science!" WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THAT? YOU GOT A PLATE IN YOUR HEAD?

How's that koolaid taste there sport. Like the ACORN approach, the MSM are going kicking and screaming on the Climategate issue so they don;t get any more egg on their faces, but they will eventually have to ignore that they as well as you it seems, are potential Berney Maddoff investors.

Journalists should do the diligent research before making announcements.
________________________________________________________
Yes I believe journalists should do their research before writing an editorial. But, the primary responsibility of a journalist is to report the news with an unbiased eye.
Just the facts M'am, just the facts.
Agreed. And the so-called "climatologists" that have been pumping out their biased and doctored data should also do the diligent research and science before making their pronouncements of doom. Any scientist that refuses to let others view his/her data, and his/her methods of bias correction, is just a charlatan in my eye. Good science should always be skeptical and open to peer review. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Common Global Warming Fear Tactics
(1) Arctic Ice Cap is melting. It has, but Antarctica has been increasing in size! You never hear that!
(2) Glaciers are retreating globally. Yes, but evidence shows that glacial retreat started come 2-300 years ago and is continuing! Were there SUVs in the 1700s?
(3) CO2 is creating a greenhouse effect like venus! If this were true the troposphere should be hotter than the surface temperature. But, current surface temperatures are hotter than the troposphere.
(4) Global warming implies global! And yet warming north of the equator is greater than in the southern hemisphere.
(5) Temperatures have been decreasing for the past ten years, not increasing!

The prime enemy of the US is the international socialist and liberal conspirators who recognized a long time ago that the only way to destroy the US was from within by destroying its sense of freedom and its strong sense of work for profit capitalism. They orchestrated the greatest financial crisis ever and made sure their little minions like ACORN were fully working the poor and gullible to swing the vote against the republicans. THIS HAPPENED!
OK All that is known but the fact they also created the climate change hysteria by conspiring with scientists who sold their credibility for huge amounts of cash is just disgusting. They have made a large percentage of humans really believe that the climate change is mainly a human cause. PATHETIC !!
WAKE UP FOOLS AND SEE THE REALITY.
Stop blindly believing this climate change cr ap!!! DO IT NOW. You have been played by the worst people on the face of the earth ie THE SOCIALISTS.

Media would have to admit they didn't do their job right, and if possible get embarrassed, but like every other issue with Obama, they will deny the truth.
Whattheheck
Mainstream media is trying one of nature's older bluffs - it's called the "Ostrich".
Namely, if they stick there collective heads in the sand (or, in this case, Obummer's posterior) and pretend like something does not really exist, maybe just maybe they will not be eaten by whatever is out there that has scared them so much.
Usually doesn't work for the ostrich, either.
GIRTHOLICIOUS
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The methodology is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy;
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
They implemented the strategy by creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke. Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing behind him.
As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis. But the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy. It created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN then exploited.
ACORN's vote registration scandals throughout the U.S. are predictable fallout.
The Motor Voter law has also been used to open another vulnerability in the system: the registration of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who then reliably vote Democrat. Herein lies the real reason Democrats are so anxious for open borders, security be damned.
It should be clear to anyone with a mind and two eyes that this president and this Congress do not have our interests at heart. They are implementing this strategy on an unprecedented scale by flooding America with a tidal wave of poisonous initiatives, orders, regulations, and laws. As Rahm Emmanuel said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."
The real goal of "health care" legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
This time, in addition to overwhelming the government with demands for services, Obama and the Democrats are overwhelming political opposition to their plans with a flood of apocalyptic legislation. Their ultimate goal is to leave us so discouraged, demoralized, and exhausted that we throw our hands up in defeat. As Barney Frank said, "the middle class will be too distracted to fight."
It is time we fully internalized and digested this fact, with all its ugly ramifications. These people have violated countless laws and could be prosecuted, had we the political power. Not only are their policies unconstitutional, but deliberately so -- the goal being to make the Constitution irrelevant. Their spending is off the charts and will drive us into hyperinflation, but it could be rescinded, had we the political power. These policies are toxic, but they could be stopped and reversed, had we the political power. Their ideologies are poisonous, but they could be exposed for what they are, with long jail sentences as an object lesson, had we the political power.
Every single citizen who cares about this country should be spending every minute of his or her spare time lobbying, organizing, writing, and planning. Fight every initiative they launch. It is all destructive. If we are to root out this evil, it is critical that in 2010 we elect competent, principled leaders willing to defend our Constitution and our country. Otherwise, the malevolent cabal that occupies the government today will become too entrenched.
After that, all bets are off.

The people off of the street are the proponents of man-made global warming.
You got a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease! THE POINT DOES NOT STAND! The issue IS: science by consensus, which is NOT science. Every field of scientific study has dissenting opinion, EXCEPT for "global warming", or is it "climate change", or "weather?"

You statement implies conservatives want greedy high level corporate executives to take all our money.
Actually large corporations are owned by small investors who expect a return on their money.
Profit is not a dirty word and is the engine that runs our economy and the rest of the world.
Even communist countries now recognize the economies are stimulated by profit.
Only you American communists and Obama are naive enough to believe the government can stimulate the economy.

When the term “Sustainable Development” first entered the world, it was defined to be:
"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
The term and the definition are the creation of the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development, chaired by Gro Harlem Brundtland, then vice-chair of the International Socialist Party.
John 1776
Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.): “The stakes in this controversy are significant, as it appears that the basis of federal programs, pending EPA rulemakings, and cap-and-trade legislation was contrived and fabricated,” Sen. Inhofe said. “Moreover, it appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated. I certainly don’t condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called ‘consensus’ of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world’s leading climate scientists.”
Another excellent post by John 1776. :)
