What’s a tree-hugging news organization to do when global warming “science” has been exposed as the work of conspiratorial intellectual shysters right before an international conference on climate change? Conspire with like-minded news organizations, of course.
As the Copenhagen climate summit opened today, 56 newspapers in 45 countries that publish in 20 different languages all screamed in unison: “Heck of a job, climate alarmists!” The editors at the papers buried their heads in the sand so they wouldn’t see the evidence that global warming is at best a suspect theory and instead published a joint editorial declaring that “humanity faces a profound emergency.”
Like all emotional appeals without reason, the editorial started with an ominous warning: “Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security.” Ignoring evidence to the contrary, the editors looked down from the world’s ivory towers and proclaimed to the peasants that “science is complex but the facts are clear.”
Then came the big ask, laced with a heavy dose of guilt for the “rich” nations of the world, presumably including the recession- and unemployment-plagued United States:
Rich nations like to point to the arithmetic truth that there can be no solution until developing giants such as China take more radical steps than they have so far. But the rich world is responsible for most of the accumulated carbon in the atmosphere – three-quarters of all carbon dioxide emitted since 1850. It must now take a lead, and every developed country must commit to deep cuts which will reduce their emissions within a decade to very substantially less than their 1990 level. …
Social justice demands that the industrialized world digs deep into its pockets and pledges cash to help poorer countries adapt to climate change, and clean technologies to enable them to grow economically without growing their emissions. The architecture of a future treaty must also be pinned down – with rigorous multilateral monitoring, fair rewards for protecting forests, and the credible assessment of “exported emissions” so that the burden can eventually be more equitably shared between those who produce polluting products and those who consume them. And fairness requires that the burden placed on individual developed countries should take into account their ability to bear it; for instance newer EU members, often much poorer than “old Europe”, must not suffer more than their richer partners.
The transformation will be costly, but many times less than the bill for bailing out global finance — and far less costly than the consequences of doing nothing.
And thus continues the Big Media Lie about global warming.
Reactions from the blogosphere:
- TigerHawk: “If the most challenging public relations problem for ‘your side’ is that you have conspired — either to suppress science or to suppress the news of suppressing science — you might want to reconsider responding with, well, a conspiracy. Would it not be smarter at least to pretend that there are small differences of opinion between the newspapers, suffusing different editorials with faux qualifications?”
- Michelle Malkin: “Someone should translate the phrase ‘Hide the Decline’ in all the 20-plus languages editorial has been printed in and stamp it across their front pages.”
- Instapundit: “Your free, fiercely independent press at work.”
Only one U.S. newspaper, the McClatchy-owned Miami Herald, joined the global hype brigade. But that doesn’t mean their editorial writers aren’t in the environmental tank; it just means they are wise enough not to talk like parrots and expect anyone to take them seriously.

NEWSWEEK, now a notorious left-wing rag, did report on the email scandal, albeit buried in the final pages in an indistinct, hard-to-read white print on a varied dark background (as close to purposefully readable as possible—there are many other pages in very clear white print). It takes As if the printing travesty was not enough, if one does persist and read the article, the emails are shamelessly dismissed by an ardent and patently obvious global-warming disciple. The left will now undoubtedly boast that they did not ignore the emails. What next Meacham?
But of course they did. The lady in charge at the “Climate Change” summit easily dismissed the emails. She I think is bent on pressing forward on a agenda to control something that Christopher Monckton says is harmless, which he is right. It’s Carbon Dioxide. Even then I don’t think we have too much to worry about as far as the air is concerned. It’s the wackos in charge of this wacko summit that’s the problem. Good article.
PS- In concentrated form CO2 and monoxide in a small space of course is harmful, no question there. But, as far as a very vast area like our atmosphere is another story.
Since we exhale CO2 after every breath, their intent is clear…a tax on breathing. Next time you think about voting for a democrat, any democrat, think about how vulnerable we are. And think about guys like Charley Rangel who, despite being unable to pay his own taxes, will force more taxes on you with careless aplomb. And think about the e-mails from East Anglia; my gut tells me they’re only the tip pf the world’s largest iceberg.
Indeed. That’s why I never vote for a Liberal. But, here’s a story. When it comes to the local school budget, Liberalism sadly rules with citizens always voting for the budget with tax hikes once again supposedly funding education. I like to see our kids get the education they need. But, at the expense of the taxpayers? Everytime the school budget here passes, our property taxes always goes up. This is also why I never vote on the school budget anymore, because I know that my vote doesn’t make the difference. I always have voted no on these school budgets because I always think that the economy comes first. At the end, the budget passes by at least a 2 to 1 margin and we as taxpayers here in Binghamton,NY suffers even more. This election day, NY voters had the chance to change the landscape of the state and take the state back for the taxpayers by kicking the Liberals out. Instead, we here in the Empire State lose ground. Here in Binghamton and bordering Johnson City, the people re-elect their Liberal mayors and axe a good chance to lower their taxes by rejecting a chance to dissolve their village which would have saved them a tax hike. But, it seems that the people around here don’t care and voted to keep the taxes high. I for one care about the economy and want to see the taxes cut—dramatically. This state is getting more and more Liberal everytime I look. I know though that nationally we have the chance to take back our country in 2010 and 2012. I hope that the people of this country don’t make the same mistake the people of New York did. Thanks.

I know this isn’t part of the topic, but we have sad breaking news that the Ted Kennedy Communist Health Care bill looks like will get to Socialist Premiere Obama’s desk after all after Sen. Nelson betrayed his country. He now is going to support this awful bill. Once this bill is signed, our country un-officially will end.
As I sit here watching two feet of snow piling up outside, I can’t help but wonder how long its going to take for the American People, the real people, to realize what’s being done to them by the “progressives,” and turn on them with a vengeance. Since I’m an old man, I can only pray that I live long enough to see it happen. They have lied to us about “Stimulus,” global warming and health care reform; how long will we let them get away with it? The “progressive” and their demo allies are not simply in error, they are evil. Vote for any democrat and you simply aid the whole cabal to continue their evil. Learn!!!
Just look at the picture of Pelosi, Reid and Emanuel; Dorian Gray had nothing on them.
For the short time I have followed you on Twitter, you guys have really stepped up to the plate for the real story on this unnecessary Climate Change summit. Algore (all one name) Algore is the man responsible for the largest scale scam in the history of mankind. The man is what I call- The mortal father of lies. Algore should be arrested and brought up on 6+ billion counts of fraud and extortion. That 1 count for all of us, the populous of the world. The man who first started to expose Algore for this is Rush Limbaugh, what a great man and a great patriot Rush is. And of course you guys too along with Sean Hannity, Dick Morris, Brent Bozell and the late Ronald Reagan who formed the way Conservatism as it is today. I will indeed con’t to follow your page and your great stuff on Twitter. Thank you and God bless you.
