The Fraud of Global Warming
The Weather Channel founder and global warming skeptic advocates suing Al Gore to expose 'the fraud of global warming.
The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.
Fire and Ice: Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but can’t decide whether we face an ice age or warming.
The Media Research Center’s Business & Media Institute (formerly the Free Market Project) conducted an extensive analysis of print media’s climate change coverage back to the late 1800s.
It found that many publications now claiming the world is on the brink of a global warming disaster said the same about an impending ice age – just 30 years ago. Several major ones, including The New York Times, Time magazine and Newsweek, have reported on three or even four different climate shifts since 1895.
Longtime readers of the [New York] Times could easily recall the paper claiming “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable,� along with its strong support of current global warming predictions. Older readers might well recall two other claims of a climate shift back to the 1800s – one an ice age and the other warming again. The Times has warned of four separate climate changes since 1895.
