The hills of Los Angeles are burning and the media keep finding reasons to blame global warming.
CNN found a way to work global warming into its reporting on a national tragedy on October 23.
During “Anderson Cooper 360: In the Line of Fire,” CNN’s Tom Foreman even looked into his crystal ball to predict the future by warning of a possible “century of fires, just like what we're seeing now” as a result of global warming.
Foreman cautioned viewers that, “greater periods of rain” that fuel “increased vegetation growth” over the next century may provide a “potential link between these fires and global warming.”
Video: Windows (2.57 MB), or MP3 audio (335 kB).
Earlier in the broadcast Cooper also plugged CNN’s documentary:
At the top of the next hour, as I said, the big picture. These fires are really a piece of it. Fire, drought, global warming, climate change, deforestation, it is all connected, tonight, 9:00 p.m. Eastern…‘Planet in Peril’ starts in just 30 minutes.
But was there a source refuting the claims that global warming was to blame for the fires in California? Nope. Not one.As Brent Baker pointed out on October 23, “NBC Nightly News” also tried to link global warming to the California fires that night.As the L.A. punk band Bad Religion said with their single, “Los Angeles is Burning,” chronicling wildfires during 2004: "And I cannot believe the media Mecca, They're only trying to peddle reality, Catch it on prime time, story at nine, The whole world is going insane."

October 24, 2007 - 12:46 ET by katleeyeah ridiculous, huh? almost as ridiculous as Fox and Friends this morning blaming the fires on terrorism - based on a memo that is 4 years old, yet they say it was just released about 4 days ago - that crazy media!
Fox and Friends is a news
October 24, 2007 - 12:57 ET by MightyMouthFox and Friends is a news show?? I just thought it was two clowns and a pretty lady trying to tussle for camera time. It amazes me that the left is sooooo afraid of the big bad Fox. hehe...

October 24, 2007 - 13:16 ET by Six String SpiffYou see, when ever we have a legitimate complaint about a supposed 'news' program (virtually ALL of the evening broadcasts for instance) we get a complaint from the lefties that they have issue with TALK SHOW HOSTS. Those are two completely different things. One reads 'news' from a teleprompter that some liberal has carefully put together while the other is somebody who actually presents BOTH SIDES of the argument. Why do you liberal babies have to piss and moan SO MUCH over one network? Do you see how ridiculous you are? I guess not.

Interesting, Fox is a respectable, unbiased news source when the news being reported is pre-packaged to fit the White House/right wing agenda, but then, when the information is simply too ridiculous and must be explained away, well, then it’s entertainment?
So, which is it?
Oh you'll have to excuse me
October 24, 2007 - 14:42 ET by MightyMouthOh you'll have to excuse me that was my opinion of the F&F show. They do show the news, without comentary, but that part of F&F is not being questioned. The commentary part is being questioned vs the "News" presentation at CNN. And btw how does asking if Al-Q could be responsible for wild fires be bias? And another thing, anyone who sees Fox news as "pre-packaged to fit the White House/right wing agenda" has got a f***in screw loose.

October 24, 2007 - 14:49 ET by JimboThe fact that liberals get so rabid about how slanted Fox is just goes to show you how far left their thinking really is. If they see the MSM as "balanced", then by definition they think that the MSM slams liberals as often as they give them a free ride. If that's the case, they are so far left then they are beyond any hope of being saved.

October 24, 2007 - 14:50 ET by jnickerson27You do, really? Well then, I assume you've never quoted Mr. Limbaugh or Ms. Coulter in relation to a news story? Coulter's entire oeuvre is opinion, yet, this sight consistently reports it, her opinion, as fact.
Get over yourself, you're every bit the hypocrite you accuse the other guy of being.
There is bias on both sides, if you fail to see that, well, there is no point in us having a discussion. And further, if you are truly concerned with media bias, you would criticize both sides – if you are interested in truth you would, but, you’re not.
I’m sure this site lambasted Pat Robertson and others for blaming Katrina on “the gays” – right?
Wrong.
"there is no point in us having a discussion'
October 24, 2007 - 15:01 ET by RJhaha. You're funny. Trying to pretend you've been taking the high road is hilarious and a little late, bucko.
No, this sight (sic) doesn't claim, pretend, or imply that what Coulter or Limbaugh say is anything but opinion. Disagree with that? Show me.
But your post proves me right when I say you confuse opinion and news. ;^)

October 24, 2007 - 15:09 ET by RJwhen you convince yourself that your own admitted hypocricy is matched by those you speak to.....

That you subscribe to, seek
October 24, 2007 - 15:15 ET by jnickerson27That you subscribe to, seek information from and defend the views expressed on this website is evidence enough of your own personal hypocrisy.
Are you equally as critical of the right?
Because, if you’re not, you are simply not interested in the factual basis of any given news story, only whether it reassures and/or bolsters your own subjective version of the truth.
oh my goodness,
October 24, 2007 - 15:25 ET by futbolisgreat1oh my goodness, jnickerson27.... Thanks for describing what YOU and your buddies on teh left do on a daily basis. oh wait....you aren't a lef winger either, right?
Please....you people hate Foxnews because it reports on what the Liberal media has refused to report.
You people hate foxnews because it attacks left wing politicians, unlike the other news networks who are the sycophants of the left.
Look at Billy Boy Clinton, how he couldn't believe that he was being asked tough questions by a Foxnews person. The poor idiot was used to the softballs that ABC, CBS, NBC etc sycophants threw at him.
shut up and look in the mirror before you speak.
Wow, left wingers are pathetic.
Look how desperate he is to defend CNN and other news outlets...he can't defend them so he attempts the old Liberal trick.....
moral equivalency......."well I know we do it, but your side does it too....so THERE!" childish, quite childish....
Hey knickerson, I'm sorry that you see yourself as hypocritical
October 24, 2007 - 17:49 ET by RJ...but it's pathetic to try to pull others down into your hole just to make yourself feel better.
See, this is how it works among those of us who enjoy actually using our brains: I said you confuse opinion with news and I provided an example.
Now, you want me to join you in your self-assessed description of hypocricy. But why should I do that, knickerson, when you've provided no examples?
Come on, knickerson, this won't be any fun if you insist on playing at a level equivalent to electrical "brownouts." ;^)
RJ, The problem is that you
October 24, 2007 - 18:09 ET by futbolisgreat1RJ, The problem is that you caught knickyboy with his pants down. He can't defend himself so he goes for the old Liberal trick....moral equivalency and judging others according to he is.
You know, this is why Liberals think that all of America is racist, because they are racist. This is why Liberals think everyone in America is a homophobe, because they are. Liberals feel guilty for their homophobia, their racism, their intolerance, their closed minded, they want to be filthy rich and kick the poor to the curb, so in order to not go crazy they rationalize their inhumane behavior by claiming everyone is just like them.
This somehow makes them feel less guilty. "If everyone is doing it and feels like me, why should I feel guilty?" I actually have Liberals friends here in Chicago that have admitted this much to me.
Another difference is that
October 24, 2007 - 15:36 ET by futbolisgreat1Another difference is that this site, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Free Republic, RedState, HotAir and the countless of other Conservative places don't pretend to be down the middle, they tell you right upfront that they are right-wingers. Even the none news shows on Foxnews, they hosts will tell the audience that they are right-wingers.
CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, even left wing site like Thinkprogress.org, DailyKos, Huffington Post, etc pretend to be down the middle, yet it is well known that they all lean to the left or far left.
I mean Keith Olbermann claims to be non-biased in his reporting! and MSNBC backs this piece of garbage. Tim Russert, Geroge Stephanopolous, 60 minutes same thing. When they all lean to the left or far left.
Can a Liberal tell the difference, of course not!
Actually, nick, this sight
October 24, 2007 - 23:49 ET by MikeBActually, nick, this sight (sic) does not report Ann's opinion as fact. What is reported as fact is the typical rabid lib response to a statement that Ann has made. The fact that Ann made the statement is reported as fact. All of us here know that Ann's statements are Ann's opinions. Some here agree with Ann on a particular statement, some disagree.
Now, in typical leftist transference, you accuse the right (us) of doing what you on the left do constantly. We have seen the comments at DailyKos, HuffingtonPost, et al, after Keith Olbermann, that great journalist makes a statement. Talk about a group taking an opinion as gospel fact!

October 24, 2007 - 13:14 ET by TazerI think my head just exploded. Leave it to the Communist News Network to come up with that moronic statement. Planet in Peril, indeed. It's in peril because of these barking moonbats who blame everything on glow bull worming and cow farts.

October 24, 2007 - 13:22 ET by scamoramaLet's see:

I found this USGS website
October 24, 2007 - 13:40 ET by ahusserI found this USGS website and took some quotes from the Phd who made the report:
"...One of the largest fires in Los Angeles County (60,000 acres) occurred in 1878, and the largest fire in Orange County’s history, in 1889, was over half a million acres. Collectively, the 1920s, 1940s, and 1970s were high decades for acreage burned, and the 1930s and 1960s were low. Explanations for these patterns are that they (1) result from decadal scale variation in climate, (2) are natural cycles resulting from fuel buildup, and (3) are driven by human demographic patterns. The scientists discussed in detail evidence for and against these in the book chapter.
Among their conclusions are the following: Throughout much of the shrubland landscape humans play a dominant role in promoting fires beyond what was likely the natural fire cycle. Future climate change is expected to have a minor role in altering fire regimes on shrubland landscapes relative to other global changes such as population growth and habitat fragmentation. Future fire management needs to take a strategic approach to prefire fuel manipulations and move beyond evaluating effectiveness strictly in terms of area treated. Fire management should consider designing strategies tailored to different regions as there are marked differences between the central coastal region and southern California in source of ignition, season of burning, and historical patterns of population growth and burning..."

"I am not a Democrat..." line from Democrats who can't defend the Liberal Democrats who voted for the war in Iraq. But do tell, what was it? Was it good old "dumb" President Bush, who is suppose to be dumber than the dumbest Liberal in Congress that lied to these supposed superior intellect Liberals? Why did Democrats vote for the Iraq War?
For claiming that Bush is an idiot, this supposed idiot seems to have fooled all of you, right? or at least the politicians that you voted for. So, if you believe that lie of a person that you claim to be intellectually inferior to you, what does that make you? a bigger fool and idiot, right?
So, if Bush lied and the lie was believed by the supposed superior intellectual Liberals in Congress, what does this make the Liberal in Congress? bigger idiots and fools, right?
Explain that to me, why are you Liberals willing to vote for people that have claimed that they were easily manipulated and believed the supposed lie of a President whom they all consider to be poorly educated, and to have a much lower IQ than them?
Furthermore, Liberals around the world, France, Germany, Russia, China, the UN, all believed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs. It wasn't just Democrats or Republicans in Congress who believed this. Oh wait, you are not a Liberal either, right?
Regardless, what did happen to the Liberal's prediction that this was going to be the worst Hurricane season since Katrina? eh? you seemed to not have answered this question? care to answer, or are you terrified that the answer will shatter all of your Liberal beliefs? oh wait, I forgot, you aren't a Liberal, right? sad, sad....

October 24, 2007 - 16:39 ET by jnickerson27If I choose to vote, which, at this point is looking unlikely, I will, in all likelihood, cast my vote for Ron Paul.
Don’t pretend to know what or how I think, sir.
I hold every so called “liberal” who voted for this war accountable for its outcome – fact.
There was ample evidence in the lead up to the war that the Intel was being misrepresented or outright manipulated – fact.
There is really no point in carrying on this discussion – though, I must admit, you certainly have, blown my mind, but not for the reasons you think.
This entire discussion, this entire website, is laughable.
In the future, y'all ought to try not to generalize so much - just a bit of advice, take it for what it's worth.

October 24, 2007 - 17:46 ET by futbolisgreat1oh my goodness, Ron Paul? This is the new line that I have heard from so many Liberals.

go ahead go vote for Ron Paul...hahaha!!! he is a Liberal in Republican clothing.
Ron Paul is as big of a joke as every single Democratic Presidential candidate.
and typical, most people that are wrong don't like debating the facts. So, wrong along and stay misinformed.
I think you have more than proven that you are a Liberal.
I do like how you put in quotes the word Liberal....why is that? because you are a Liberal and like a good Liberal you don't like labels to be used on you, but you have ZERO problem using labels against those you disagree with.

October 24, 2007 - 15:35 ET by voodoodaddyScott Ritter? He was proven to be an AssClown and nothing more.

Nicky will also forget that Mr. Truthful, Bill Clinton himself, made statements about Saddam having WMDs that would have to be taken away from him. Didn't you have the list of all the Democratics in the House and Senate that made statements about Saddam having or working on nukes? I suppose that when W was elected that Saddam all of a sudden got honest and cooperative and got rid of all his WMDs and the attendant programs and facilities. And mean ol' W just went in and invaded his *ss anyway. Nicky also forgets (or refuses to admit) about all the casus belli leading up to Gulf War II.
