Glaciers Media Will Never Report
As the media focus continued attention on supposedly receding glaciers in Greenland, they conveniently ignore those right here in America that are actually expanding.

Well, meteorologist Anthony Watts, the owner of Watts Up With That, speaking at a climate conference in…
Networks: Bashing Airlines Is Just the Ticket
