So wasn't Joseph Gobbels, Americas "Jounalists" learned a lot from him, primarily that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. Remember a few years ago when the big concern was "global cooling" After a winter that set records for snowfall here in NH I say global warming is BS. Yes, Glaciers in Greenland are receding, to day they have receded almost as far back as they were 1000 years ago when the Vikings settled there, not quite, but almost. The problems are that they are trying to calculate multi thousand year cycles using 200 years worth of data and enviro panic is big bucks.

Tom, you hit the nail on the head. First junk science. I had tons of training in geoscience in grad school, and as an archaeologist and historian I am well familiar with geologic cycles. 200 years ain't even a blink of an eye geologically.
As for the big buck, some month back, a news article came through about how the Democratic National Committee had funded a study that indicated that there was roughly $15 Billion to be made annually by pushing the green agenda. Report disappeared from the LSM as fast as it appeared.
In case you don't think so, consider those stupid ugly green-tinted CFLs (compact flourescent lights) all the teachers are telling their classes to go home and insist Mommy and Daddy buy. They are what, $2.50 each or more? And what is a regular incandescent? $0.27 each? And now, of course, they "discover" there is mercury in the CFLs (known all along) and
now there must be special reycling centers set up to collect and process the CFLs.
Like Tom said, "big bucks".
