IPCC's Fourth Assesment lures eco-fundamentalist out of the woodwork Its always neat-o when those teeny tiny cars stop in the middle of the three rings, and not one not two but almost a dozen clowns come out of the vehicle...always brings a smile to *most* kiddies' faces (most because actually a lot of kids HATE clowns, right?).
Well after the IPCC released the new AR4 (or Fourth Assessment report) it seems that the media has been having a climate field day-- i mean after 20 years it is interesting to note the QuoteUnquotes are off (no longer "greenhouse gasses" and no longer "climate change" at least in the MSM. not exacly in the EconoFundamentalist papers but more on them later...). I guess for the most part, once your readership is convinced of something, you might as well toe the line... It is amazing to see every paper tout themselves as bearing the burden of bringing us the climate truth for decades now(!) And usually they seem to be the only ones who were "daring" to tell the truth all along. They're still printed on virgin tree pulp, they're still chock-full of car and tire ads, and of course they are the very same ones who would pit the very same 3 climate skeptics (Lindzen Singer & Michaels...) into every debate since the 80's... But they're banking that no one has memories that long, and that they can now come out smelling like roses, all concerned about global climate change... w/e ..Now the bigger irony is with this much press going to climate change, there's even more pulped virgin forest being inked about climate than ever before(!)
