An Examination of the Media and the Global Warming Hoax

re: Rush Limbaugh: ...It is a story in BusinessandMedia.org (pdf). It's a website. It is written by R. Warren Anderson, a research analyst, and Dan Gainor, he's a Boone Pickens Free Market Fellow. These guys are think tank people. And they've done an analysis of the last 100 years of journalism on global warming. It's entitled "Fire and ice." It's 17 pages when you print it out. But this puts the blame for all of this hysteria on global warming exactly where it belongs, and that is the media! Now, for a hundred years we've had wacko scientists trying to advance agendas, and if the agenda happens to fit the media -- and the agenda here, by the way, is chaos...[snip]...Here's the opening paragraph.

Only the president at the time wasn’t Bill Clinton; it was Grover Cleveland. And the Times wasn’t warning about global warming -- it was telling readers the looming dangers of a new ice age. The year was 1895, and it was just one of four different time periods in the last 100 years when major print media predicted an impending climate crisis. Each prediction carried its own elements of doom, saying Canada could be 'wiped out' or lower crop yields would mean 'billions will die.' Just as the weather has changed over time, so has the reporting -- blowing hot or cold with short-term changes in temperature...[snip]...CALLER: -- you need to understand there's a reason why they call it scientific consensus rather than scientific theory, and the reason is theory needs to incorporate all the known data, and there's some excellent reports out there right now showing that the nearby planets in our solar system are experiencing solar rises in their surface temperature... ...So if we're going to accept the scientific consensus as theory, we have to conclude that our American economy is causing a greenhouse effect across the whole solar system. Now, they realize they can't get away with calling it a theory so they've come up with this code term, "scientific consensus" to hide the fact that they're advancing a political agenda rather than scientific fact..."...
