• Over a recent six-month period, 93 percent of Fox News Channel’s representations of climate science were misleading (37 out of 40instances). • Similarly, over the past year, 81 percent of the representations of climate science in the Wall Street Journal’s opinion section were misleading (39 out of 48 instances).
UCS’s examination finds that the misleading citations include broad dismissals of human-caused climate change, disparaging comments about individual scientists, rejections of climate science as a body of knowledge, and cherry picking of data. Fox News Channel citations also included several discussions in which misleading claims dominated accurate ones. Furthermore, much of this coverage denigrated climate science by either promoting distrust in scientists and scientific institutions or placing acceptance of climate change in an ideological, rather than fact-based, context.

Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it
The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996

The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.
The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.
This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years. global temperature changes

The new data, compiled from more than 3,000 measuring points on land and sea, was issued quietly on the internet, without any media fanfare, and, until today, it has not been reported.
This stands in sharp contrast to the release of the previous figures six months ago, which went only to the end of 2010 – a very warm year.
Ending the data then means it is possible to show a slight warming trend since 1997, but 2011 and the first eight months of 2012 were much cooler, and thus this trend is erased.
Some climate scientists, such as Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions.
Others disagreed. Professor Judith Curry, who is the head of the climate science department at America’s prestigious Georgia Tech university, told The Mail on Sunday that it was clear that the computer models used to predict future warming were ‘deeply flawed’. Even Prof Jones admitted that he and his colleagues did not understand the impact of ‘natural variability’ – factors such as long-term ocean temperature cycles and changes in the output of the sun. However, he said he was still convinced that the current decade would end up significantly warmer than the previous two.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci.....t.html#ixzz29MwkLgGp
.............still waiting for the ICE AGE that was predicted in the 70's by the liberal tree hugging nut jobs!!!

The only ones who believe that climate change is not occuring, are the buffoons that were home schooled on AM radio, and Fox.
climate change has happened for millions of years on earth...we just happen to be alive now....anyone here growing scales to become amphibians....we need to evolve now...HURRY
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Yep, earths climate changed many many times over the course of billions of years. Global warming and cooling happened many times. Even before humans used fossil fuel.
Anybody that believe the earths climate is constant and predictable are the buffoons that were public schoolled by some dope smokin granola eatin science teacher followed by a steady diet of NPR and PBS.

It's obvious that you, yourself went to an inferior public school (I'm still waiting for you to reimburse me for that, being you don't believe in collectivism), because the ozone layer didn't eat itself. Reagan blamed it on the trees.
Proven fact if you cut down too many trees there is less oxygen and more co2 in the air.
replant....mcmansions built by the mover shaker think tanks should be doing that...according to them the rest of us are too stupid, but they have us all running around with .05 deposits and coupons like a$$holes, yet the state keeps purchasing 'the woods'......
there's nothing new under the sun.....
are everyone's scales growing? or are we 'at least' testing our offspring for evolutionary changes to prepare us for the climate change and preservation of the human factor?

Loggers in North America DO replant. The problem is thousands of square miles of South America being clear cut, and not replaced. The "Save The Rainforest" people weren't doing it just save all the pretty trees, and birds. It was about the world's oxygen supply.
