Naturally, we’re talking climategate, glaciergate and just general global warming. Of course you wouldn’t know it if you depended on the U.S. legacy media. Nice summary from the linked article which concludes…
Bad science done using bad data to start with is a recipe for disaster. Or, perhaps more to the point, is a recipe for being able to manipulate public opinion. The scientific method is a way of discovering observable truths about the world around us. To use it as a propaganda machine is shameful and the mainstream media’s silence on the story is doubly so.
(emphasis added – ed)
Perhaps the legacy media could justify being silent if they hadn’t been such cheerleaders earlier. Now they’re just trying to avoid embarrassment and praying a lightening bolt will strike and there will be collective amnesia regarding the slew reports of documenting what passes for global warming research.
P.S. Legacy media, check out the UK Times to bring yourself up to date.

Xing then cites the recent revelations of significant problems in the IPCC work. These include how “some scientists had favored data which supports the case for ‘global warming’ in order to enhance their grant proposals,” the announcement that an IPCC claim of total glacier melt in the Himalayas by 2035 was based on “sheer speculation” — not peer-reviewed scientific work, and revelation that the IPCC had misrepresented an unpublished report linking climate change with an increase in natural disasters even when the report’s author, Dr Robert Muir-Wood, a researcher in risk management not climatology, had explicitly stated the opposite.
At this point it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. When is the legacy media in the USA going to start reporting on this sloppy science? It is news, it should be reported. What are you trying to hide or protect? What is your agenda? Don’t tell me you don’t have one, you’re way past late to this party. There are only two excuses:
- Your ignorant and want to stay that way.
- You have an agenda
Neither choice is pretty.
