Seth Borenstein at the AP has lost perspective. (LINK) I can’t tell you how many times I have heard the Republicans play the politics of fear….but this 100% liberal article is nothing but fear.
This ranks up there with the most liberally bias articles I have ever seen.
He starts off by giving Bill Clinton a pass
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore.
Then he misleads
The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton’s second inauguration.
The truth is that there has been a cooling trend since 1998. This is not according to me. This is according to the IPCC…the same experts that liberals toss out as the consensus. Is the IPCC trustworthy or not? The warmest year on record was 1998…10 years ago…during Clinton’s 2nd term.
Next, Borenstein uses a quote for Al Gore. When I see Al Gore’s name…I just skip the paragraph. He’s a clown.
When he is done giving Al Gore another platform, he brings in a scientist for some authority. He picks a biologist…but at least he is a scientist and not a politicians making money from carbon credits. Still, I find this unconvincing.
Borenstein than says that US CO2 emissions have increased 20% since 1992. Our GDP has grown by 120%. I think an increase of 20% in CO2 emissions is amazingly low.
Then…more Gore. SKIP
Borenstein then quotes a couple of Democrats and shows his optimism. He is hopeful that Democrats will be successful which, of course, scares the hell out of me.
He ends with some humor. He admits that 2008 is cooler then previous years. This of course is proof that their is global warming. It’s heads he wins, tails we lose.
Do your own investigation here of land based temperature measurements: (LINK). Keep in mind that the northern hemisphere has warmed more than the southern hemisphere.
U.S. Temperatures since 1992. Run-away warming?
