ABC News asks, “Can Climate Forecasts Still Be Trusted?”
“Confidence Melting Away: Doubts Grow in Climate Change Debate”
Yes, ABC News actually said that. Maybe there is hope that the mainstream media will start covering climategate.
The article begins by poking fun at Glaciergate, including this comment:
But why wasn’t this clearly nonsensical claim noticed long ago by at least one of the 3,000 scientists who contributed to the IPCC report?
They move on to Climategate and the Hockey Stick, but must have been in touch with Wikipedia, as they call it the “E-Mail Scandal,” and even though they were able utter the word Glaciergate, they couldn’t spit out the word Climategate.
But all in all, it’s a very good skeptical view of climate science, especially for ABC, and they do quote skeptics like geologist and glacier expert John Shroder, German Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen, and climate expert Roger Pielke Jr.
They close with:
Climatologists are now calling for reforms. Pielke, for example, is concerned about the way authors and peer reviewers work, how they are appointed by the IPCC and how literature is used that, as in the case of the Himalayan glacier, does not come from peer-reviewed professional journals.
…the community is sometimes reluctant to include troublesome critics in its efforts. For instance, when the IPCC recently set up a special working group to address natural disasters, the US government nominated ecologist Pielke. The IPCC declined to appoint him.
It’s worth a read, and an article you can send to your friends that only trust the mainstream media.

Published in ABC International but originally from Der Spiegel. Now that’s really the hinterland of the US msm. Laughable and disgusting is way the alarmists keep moving the target. Like a master magician they keep the audience busy following one sweep of the hand after another to disguise the mechanics of the trick. When climategate broke in November of 2009 their unassailable line of defense was “it’s all based on peer-reviewed science” Now we have a clear example of a major claim which was not based on peer-reviewed science and they wave it off as meaningless. Time to get the main culprits under oath before the public who they have defrauded of billions. Nothing less will smoke them out although even this is problematic.
I think the all media/politicians have been getting e-mails on this story. They tried to ignore it but the fraudulent activity of the AGW promoters has become so obvious they cannot ignore it any longer.
This is MediaGate, not ClimateGate! Are you angry about this obvious RICO Act fraud and the national media’s complicity in the cover-up, misinformation, reframing and misdirection of the issue and the related “carbon derivatives” market Obama’s Administration is spinning up? Why pay for propaganda? Take responsibility and take action. STOP all donations to the political party(s) responsible for this fraud. STOP donations to all environmental groups which funded this Global Warming propaganda campaign with our money, especially The World Wildlife Fund. They have violated the public trust. KEEP donations local, close to home. MAKE donations to Oklahoma’s Senator Inhofe, the only politician to stand firmly against this obvious government/media coordinated information operation (propaganda) targeted at its own people. People that government leaders and employees are sworn to protect. WRITE your state and federal representatives demanding wall to wall investigations of government sponsored propaganda campaigns and demand indictments of those responsible. WRITE your state and federal Attorneys General demanding Al Gore and others conducting Global Warming/Climate Change racketeering and mail fraud operations be brought to justice, indicted, tried, convicted and jailed. Carbon is the stuff of life. He (Obama) who controls carbon, especially CO2, controls the world. Think of the consequences if you do nothing! For one, the UK is becoming the poster child for George Orwell’s “1984”. The mendacity of UK’s John Beddington, Robert Watson and Ed Miliband prove the point. The US government’s sponsorship of this worldwide Global Warming propaganda campaign puts it in a class with the failed Soviet Union’s relentless violation of the basic human right to truthful government generated information. Given ClimateGate’s burgeoning revelations of outrageous government misconduct and massive covert misinformation, what are the chances that this Administration’s National Health Care sales campaign is anywhere near the truth?

I like the RICO angle John. Suffering from decades of misinformation the public will require bright lightbulbs to see the way out. RICO and Madoff are instantly understood. When climategate broke in November 2009 I informed many of my friends that AGW had now been exposed as a fraud from the mouths of it’s inventors. Doubting some of what they had heard and open to the idea that hyperbole may have been used they could not however accept that it was a complete fraud. I believe that we are still in the stage of disbelief but willing to listen. New revelations come out day-by-day but it will be a little while yet before we reach the tipping point to acceptance. A little while but not long.
[...] really is face-palming comedy gold to see the God/King issuing his planet-saving dictates as even the mainstream media now cover the collapse of the AGW agenda with more chicanery and fraud being revealed on a near [...]
