On CNN American Morning today, Senator James Inhofe, the chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee engaged in a heated exchange with CNN newsman Miles O’Brien over CNN’s biased and erroneous coverage of global warming. Senator Inhofe questioned the journalistic integrity of CNN anchor for ‘Scaring A Lot Of People’ with hyped climate reporting. Senator Inhofe also questioned O’Brien about his 1992 CNN report regarding fears of a coming ice age. O’Brien responded by citing the 2004 fictional Hollywood global disaster movie “The Day After Tomorrow” to back up his science reporting.
These are the kind of people who "objectively" report the news. As I have said MANY times, it is not necessarily a conscience bias, but it is just who they are. This clown thinks a Hollywood movie is evidence of global warming. These guys pick the stories that are put on the air, and the way in which they are reported....what a shame....then again, their ratings suck...so not every American is dumb.

CNN Anchor Cited Fictional Hollywood Global Warming Movie, The Day After Tomorrow, to Defend His Science Reporting.

Game,
I'm not surprised. The local school union goons do this kind of stuff day in and day out to a captive audience that is not allowed independent thought or to voice objection to the propaganda and faulty reasoning.
The science behind global warming is not as solid as many partisans like to believe it is.
I agree with pcd completely that kids should be taught critical thinking. By critical thinking I don't mean what the leftists mean by it, which is hating society. I mean testing hypotheses against observations and supporting arguments with evidence.
Much of what passes in schools is retarded nature worship. One may think it is innocuous, but to take an example, everyone recycles today, and from a strictly rational point of view, government supported recycling is absolutely insane. The idea that people are doing something good for the world by this is almost commonplace, which shows how successful these "education" programs can be, especially when there is no critical feedback from the so-called corporate media.
Game, don't you ever read the articles you cite and the links from them? The transcript shows that O'Brien was referring to a scenario similar to what was in that movie, not that he was citing the movie as some sort of scientific source on global warming.
How silly!
Jason, write more clearly. I must be dense because I can't tell what you are trying to say beyond bashing the left.
Jim--
Any American with a High School eduation ideally should be able to read and comprehend my last post.
I noted a lot of environmentalism is not as scientific as it purports to be. I also seconded pcd's claim that schools are a successful vehicle for propagating environmentalist nonsense. I supported this by mentioning the sheer amount of people that feel good about themselves when they do something stupid like recycling.
Haven't read your link but I will. I guess the reason your post didn't make sense was the implication that recycling is stupid and government support of it is insane. This is a position I have never heard of before. So before I comment further I will do what I usually do. I will do some research.
I notice that your linked article provides no sources for it's facts.
So is recycling an Islamo-fascist plot or what?
So here's some of my research: The cited article is a well-recycled (pun intended) and notorious article which repeats the claims of a group of anti-recycling think tanks.
Check out this Anti-Recycling Myths Commentary
"At least some of these organizations accept funding from companies involved in solid waste collection, landfilling and incineration, the manufacturing of products from virgin materials, and the production and sale of packaging and consumer products. Many of the corporations that fund the anti-recyclers have a direct economic stake in maintaining the waste management status quo and in minimizing consumers' scrutiny of the environmental effects of products and packaging."
There's a lot more. Google "recycling myth". Just about every pro-myth item cited this very same article. Myth "buster" items were plentiful. Check it out.
By the way, these are the same people that think global warming is junk science.
Anyway, thanks for inspiring me to research something I wasn't aware of. Very educational.
BTW Jason, I recycle. I recycle in that I re-use margarine tubs & other things, such as jars, whatever can be re-used. Keeps my costs down, and no matter what you say, it does help the environment.
This is fact.
