September 5th, 2007 1:21 PM
More evidence that Al Gore's Live Earth flop was indeed the beginning of the end to the public's fascination with global warming: Leonardo DiCaprio's recently released film on the subject has bombed with moviegoers. As reported by Fox News's Roger Friedman Wednesday (emphasis added throughout): His environmental documentary, "The 11th Hour," has been a total bust at the box office. After 18…
Gore’s Live Earth Flop Prompts BBC to Scrap Global Warming Special
September 5th, 2007 12:03 PM
On July 12, NewsBusters asked, "Did Live Earth's Flop Reduce Media Interest in Global Warming?" Two months later, the BBC has scrapped "Planet Relief," a proposed day-long special about climate change, specifically citing the failure of Al Gore's international concerts as one of the reasons for the cancellation.

Glaciers Media Will Never Report
September 5th, 2007 10:39 AM
As the media focus continued attention on supposedly receding glaciers in Greenland, they conveniently ignore those right here in America that are actually expanding. Adding insult to injury, as prominent California congresswomen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) travel abroad to laughingly see evidence of global warming, they could drive north of…

Here's a story a climate change obsessed media are sure to ignore: a Congressman from Southern California has actually suggested America spend financial resources to fix the endangered entitlement programs of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid rather than to solve global warming. I don't imagine Katie, Charlie, and Brian will be doing a segment on this tonight, do you? Regardless, Rep.…

If a survey found that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe lawmakers are using global warming hysteria to raise taxes, would the climate change obsessed media report it? Highly doubtful, wouldn't you agree? Well, Britain's Daily Mail published an article Monday that seems quite unlikely any major U.S. press outlet would dare cover for fear of contradicting the media meme of the…
Greenhouse Gases Blamed for 2006's High Temperatures Despite CO2 Emiss
August 30th, 2007 12:49 PM
On Tuesday, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration announced that "Greenhouse gases likely accounted for more than half of the widespread warmth across the continental United States last year." Yet, NOAA ignored the fact that the primary GHG global warming alarmists point to as the cause for rising temperatures, carbon dioxide emissions, actually declined in 2006. How did they…
