While most of the country was watching the Green Bay Packers play the New York Giants, CBS aired an hour-long, severely one-sided special about the threat of global warming.
The special was hosted by CBS's Scott Pelley. In January 2007, Pelley was asked why he refused to include global warming skeptics in his reporting. He responded, "If I do an interview with [Holocaust survivor] Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?"
The January 20 CBS special attacked the Bush White House for not being willing to sign the Kyoto Protocol after he was elected - furthering the common misconception that Bush has been alone in his opposition to it, as the Senate actually voted 95 to 0 to reject Kyoto earlier.
Pelley took a very conspiratorial tone.
"Dozens of federal agencies report science, and much of it is edited at the White House before it's sent to Congress and the public," Pelley said. "It appears that climate science is edited with a heavy hand. These drafts of climate reports were co-written by Rick Piltz for the federal climate change science program. But Piltz says his work was edited by the White House to make global warming seem less threatening."
The White House declined comment, and Pelley didn't include anyone else to answer allegations or scientific claims.
Pelley's hour-long special didn't offer a single scientist who was skeptical of these catastrophic global warming claims. However, a report released by the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee December 20 has revealed more than 400 prominent scientists questioning the hype.
The special also warned of cataclysmic consequences if global warming wasn't addressed.
"Tremendous redistribution in where one would be able to have agriculture, tremendous changes in storm patterns. You could very well see sea level rises on the order of several feet and perhaps even several tens of feet," Paul Mayewski, director of the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, said. "If sea level were to rise it would be tremendous changes, immense migrations."

Alarmists
January 21, 2008 - 16:53 ET by allanfReally, I call the anthropomorphic global warming adherents: alarmists. These chicken littles are yelling "fire" on a crowded earth.
Alarmists love calling skeptics deniers
January 21, 2008 - 22:12 ET by PopularTechIf they could prove what they preach via the scientific method there would be nothing to argue about, instead they try to silence anyone skeptical of doomsday due to CO2:

I got my Global Warming
January 21, 2008 - 16:52 ET by zhombreI got my Global Warming Skeptic discount credit card in the mail from Shell just last Saturday! And I expect cards from Exxon and BP any day now! It's ten percent off the price at the pump just for being part of the conspiracy to deny global warming. Not to mention the free oil change four times a year and the coffee mug too. All I have to do is sign a few on-line petitions and send in a few form letters to the local news rag. It pays to be a global warming skeptic!

Global Warming Farce
January 21, 2008 - 16:53 ET by JohnJDunbarSo following Pelley's reasoning, if he did a story about Holocaust deniers, he would not have to interview any survivors, like Elie Wiesel, who might cast doubt on the believability of his story.
Classic liberal reasoning.. The story iswhat matters...not the facts.
And
January 21, 2008 - 17:47 ET by UphillIf he did a piece on global warming skeptics, I bet he would have at least a dozen or so GW propagandists ready to argue. That there, to me, be the bias.
Holocaust = Science?
January 21, 2008 - 17:47 ET by HypocriteHaterPelley's analogy doesn't make sense since I don't recall scientists ever debating the Holocaust. The only deniers I ever hear about seem to be anti-semitic muslims.

January 21, 2008 - 17:02 ET by zhombreFor now. If one gets deep into the environmental religion, it's humanity itself that is a yeast infection in the vagina of Mother Gaia. I tried reading one of the faith's recent "testaments" The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. But I got tired of reading chapters that start, for example, with such lines as "When humans depart, among the immediate beneficiaries of our absence will be mosquitos."

January 21, 2008 - 18:45 ET by sixlbs9ozYep, just like when Penn and Teller had some folks go around with a petition at some enviro tree hugging festival-- the content of the petition? Banning Hydrogen Dioxide.
The petitioners would say true but misleading stuff like, "Millions of people have died when they inhaled hydrogen dioxide. It's colorless, odorless, and it can be deadly."
Great stuff. I think you can find it on YouTube.

January 21, 2008 - 17:39 ET by motherbeltThis is not new. A couple of years ago, AGW advocates convinced many in the MSM that it was "irresponsible" to present the other side of the argument.
And they haven't been deterred by their failure to get centrally-controlled thermostats in homes in California. These people just regroup and come at things from a different angle.
Since the 70's they have gone from "acid rain" to "global warming" to "climate change" and now their newest angle is "Carbon Footprint" as the way to control lives. The last paragraph is the money quote:
“Carbon footprint” is code for limitless government intrusion into every detail of your life. Nothing is beyond the reach of a government determined to reduce your carbon footprint in the name of the environment. To these people, nothing is sacred, nothing is private, nothing is truly yours.

January 21, 2008 - 18:01 ET by roadgeek9This is just sad that our media has gotten so hyped about global warming, a non-existent, natural condition that occurs every 500 years. What happened in 1500? The earth warmed. What happened in 2000? The earth warmed. TO AL GORE: Do some ACTUAL research.
Tonight, a stupid green report will be on NBC 30, Connecticut's Liberal News Leader, the green reports are so dumb and such a waste of money. The reason why they are there is just because there isn't any real news going on in Connecticut.

My favorite part was the Hansen interview. For a guy who claims the President and NASA is censoring him, he sure gets to talk a lot! Also kudos to Scott for conjuring up images of the old Soviet Union, by saying Hanson was only allowed to speak with someone from NASA in the room. What a crock of $hit!

In science we are required to prove both the positive and the negative. AWG has yet to do this and NASA still cannot lift or land the shuttle with 100% certainty ... weather's a bitch for scientists to predict a day ahead of the big show.

January 21, 2008 - 18:34 ET by September"It appears that climate science is edited with a heavy hand."
Well, at least he said "appears". He is such a smartass.
Earth's out of balance, hmm
January 21, 2008 - 18:45 ET by metroxOne of the scientists interviewed said the Earth was out of balance (climate-wise).
How can that even be remotely consider a problem? The Earth is always out of "balance". If the climate was "balanced" wouldn't it be like living in a climate-controlled home? Where there is no weather because everything is "in balance", no rain, no storms, no wind.
As for "balance" what about the bazillion inputs to the Earth's climate everyday? From belching volcanoes to cosmic rays to insolation to the oceans? Somehow some barely noticable trace gas has risen in its concentration (from 280ppm to 380ppm, a mere 100ppm rise) and now the climate is out of balance!?
When I heard that I knew that the scientist who said it was a nut job.
The earth warms, the earth cools.
January 21, 2008 - 19:36 ET by NforceIt always has, and it always will. What people like this jackass are doing is pure fascism. Like, "the debate is over" from the Owl Gore. Oh really? I thought liberals were all for diversity of opinions and "discussing dissenting opinions" and other "liberal" topics. What happened?
One other thing these buttplugs on the Jim Jones Global Walarmist Cult Freak left can't get straight is that many Conservatives believe GW may be real, but human activity has little to nothing to do with it - as in a correlation to solar activity. Funny how you never see global warming freakshow rallies in January, eh?
By the way, didn't we just have two complete years of NO hurricane activity when both years (2006, 2007) were forecasted to be above average and some big ones were to hit US shores? We can't even get THAT accurate yet we are to know for a fact we are causing GW? I don't think so. Tell these stupid GW anti-capitalist liberals to piss off.

January 21, 2008 - 19:51 ET by wiwfI do believe they have interviewed a Holocaust denier with Ahmanutjob. So YES, you have to interview a "global warming denier" whatever that means. I prefer the term "realist" or "non-fearmonger."

Cold and Heat Shall Not Cease
January 22, 2008 - 07:30 ET by gideonmjamesTemperature fluctuations are part of the natural cycles God built into the earth.
Genesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD AND HEAT, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease [i.e."global" warming is NOT going to bring global catastrophe to the earth as Al Gore claims].
Also, the shields of the earth are not Man's OR Al Gore's ... they're God's (i.e. HE takes care of any "global" environmental issues, not Man or Mr. Manbearpig).
Psalms 47:9
The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: FOR THE SHIELDS OF THE EARTH BELONG UNTO GOD : He is greatly exalted.
The earth isn't going to overheat, we're not going to get hit by some giant asteroid, we're not going to have global flooding, we're not going to be wiped out by nuclear war, we're not going to have another ice age, etc. etc. ... THE SHIELDS OF THE EARTH ARE THE LORD'S.

My favorite part shows the "reporter" in Greenland talking about the melting ice sheets. They don't say anything about the ice that is covered with some type of dark colored particulate matter (soot from China?). I thought that dark colored material absorbs heat and it on ice, would cause melting.

The Big Lie
January 22, 2008 - 00:01 ET by Ralph Hansen Ph. D.It's actually appropriate that Pelley use the holocaust analogy because the alarmist tactics come directly from Mein Kampf:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” -- Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister for Adolph Hitler
Now repeat after me:
Carbon dioxide will scorch the Earth, the planet will warm uncontrollably, it will cause massive droughts, pestilence and disease will spread and our luxurious oceanfront homes will be flooded. We must cut carbon, we must cut carbon, we must cut carbon ....
And then wealth and prosperity can be repealed.

My God, man ... we NEED global warming to save the planet from the global disaster of "global freezing".
If these global warming idiots did the same thing with the numbers from FREEZING weather as they do with the numbers from WARM weather ... you could build a doomsday scenario for global catastrophe from global COOLING.
Cherry-pick your cold temperatures, have weather stations put their thermometers in the shade instead of on brick walls exposed to 10 hours of direct sunlight, create computer models that "prove" global cooling and the threat of the next ice age, get a Democrat who could barely maintain a 'C' in basic science to become the messiah for your cause, and then create billions of dollars in government funding to keep your religion operating into perpetuity.
