How Murdoch’s Times of London and Fox News Coordinate Their Deceitful Reporting on Climate Change. By Climate Guest Contributor on July 24, 2011 at 11:32 am "How Murdoch’s Times of London and Fox News Coordinate Their Deceitful Reporting on Climate Change" By David Fiderer, a lawyer who covers the energy industry for several global banks in New York.
This is an OpEdNews.com repost. If you wondered whether Murdoch’s various news outlets operate in sync when they misrepresent the facts about climate change, consider the deceitful reporting done by Ben Webster, the Environmental Editor for The Times of London. His smears against the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were immediately amplified and embellished by Fox News in New York.
Today we know that one of the Murdoch employees arrested in Britain, Neil Wallis, was deeply implicated in two hacking scandals, the first pertaining to the News of the World, and the second pertaining to the invasion of computers at the University of East Anglia, the victim of the phony Climate-gate scandal touted by Fox News. But also: Prokaryotes. A link between climate change and Joplin tornadoes? Never!
Caution: It is vitally important not to make connections.
When you see pictures of rubble like this week’s shots from Joplin, Mo., you should not wonder: Is this somehow related to the tornado outbreak three weeks ago in Tuscaloosa, Ala., or the enormous outbreak a couple of weeks before that (which, together, comprised the most active April for tornadoes in U.S. history). No, that doesn’t mean a thing. It is far better to think of these as isolated, unpredictable, discrete events. It is not advisable to try to connect them in your mind with, say, the fires burning across Texas — fires that have burned more of America at this point this year than any wildfires have in previous years.
Texas, and adjoining parts of Oklahoma and New Mexico, are drier than they’ve ever been — the drought is worse than that of the Dust Bowl. It’s far smarter to repeat to yourself the comforting mantra that no single weather event can ever be directly tied to climate change. Better to join with the U.S. Tim’s official statement at his sentencing hearing. [quote] At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like.
In these times of a morally bankrupt government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow. The choice you are making today is what side are you on. [/quote] Tim DeChristopher was allowed to address the court and the judge during his sentencing hearing. Thank you for the opportunity to speak before the court. Mr. There are alternating characterizations that Mr Huber would like you to believe about me. In nearly every paragraph, the government’s memorandum uses the words lie, lied, lying, liar. [pullquote]“I’ve made my views clear that I agree with the founding fathers that juries should be the conscience of the community and a defense against legislative tyranny.” But here is the important point that Mr Huber would rather ignore. Wyoming Coal Executives and Lawmakers Are Offended by Art Linking Coal, Climate Change and Bark Beetle Infestation.
By Stephen Lacey on July 25, 2011 at 7:37 am "Wyoming Coal Executives and Lawmakers Are Offended by Art Linking Coal, Climate Change and Bark Beetle Infestation" The sculpture, “Carbon Sink: What Goes Around Comes Around,” composed of beetle-infested timber covered in coal.
Forests all across the American West are destroyed by pine beetles that are thriving due to a due to a changing climate. The 3.1-million acre infestation is so bad in Wyoming that the Caspar Star-Tribune reported in March: “Wyoming’s bark beetle epidemic is showing signs of slowing, forestry officials say, for the rather depressing reason that the insects are running out of trees in the state to infest.” In response to this unique catastrophe, an artist has set up an installation at the University of Wyoming connecting the burning of coal to a breakdown of the environment. The artist, Chris Drury, says the piece is not political in any way – he’s simply trying to “create a conversation.” Hmm. Related Posts:
