The article would be better with facts.
Ice caps are melting and the ocean is getting warmer. Toxins are filling the air and ozone layer is depleting. |

Had he actually brought forward examples of bad science, then we'd have somewhere to go.
I love it when blogs start have taglines like "Exposing and combatting liberal media bias". Kudos on him for the idea. But it is a shame that this article neither exposes or combats anything. It's nothing more than a naked, unsupported relatively unlearned opinion piece. The fact that it was written by one of the people who dreamed up a television station about the weather is inconcequential.

And yet his BEST retort for all the science he has studied is "Watch out for the boogidy man that is media bias!". Congradulations on undermining your argument.
In the hopes that I'd see some actual scientific study come forward, I read up on the fella. Wikki has NOTHING! It links to the article you quote and that's about it (otherwise, "IMDB" has him).
I did manage to find his WHOLE blog post through a few links.
One thing that throws me off is this (feel free to call it nit picking): Why does he always spell "Phd" like "PHD"? I can't imagine that it's because he doesn't have a Phd.
Yaya, all I can do is hope that you didn't get confused his ability to start a television station and his scientific prowess (no peer reviewed paper; no PhD; how much actual research has he done?). |

No, the biggest scam is that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Then why does the Sun set in the evening? I never heard of the Earth setting. |

I had the impression, given all the bitching that gets done here, that teaching ESL in Korea was the biggest scam ever. |

If global warming is real, I won't be alive when the effects of it are truly felt anyway.
"What about your kids, djsmnc?"
I don't have kids. Haha. Take that, everyone else's kids! |
