Steven Goddard: Tipping Point In The Media « Watts Up With That?

Over the last year or so I have been taking an informal survey of a key news metric - Google news searches for the term “global warming.” A year ago, the ratio of alarmist/skeptical articles was close to 100/1. About six months ago, the ratio was 90/10, Two months ago it was 80/20, and today it hit 50/50 for the first time - including the lead skeptical story “A Cooling Trend Toward Global Warming“. One thing that has changed is the rise of blogs written by informed citizens, complemented by the demise of corporate newspapers which make money from keeping people continually alarmed about one thing or another.

Congratulations to Anthony and all the readers for being a big part of this. Democracy in it’s purest form - hope and change we can all believe in.

Every single line above is the opposite of what’s needed except one. What is the line about limiting the EPA, does anyone know?

On the other hand, they’re going to regulate emissions from chain saws and leaf blowers!!! WTF. These dolt’s can’t even conceive of the volume of fuel consumed from a simple hand tool and we’ve got them making decisions like this. It takes hours to burn even one gallon of fuel from a huge leaf blower, but they’ve never operated one. On the same topic, I can’t resist but mention that the brilliant Tamino actually suggested we outlaw standby mode on computers. I left my lights on last night in his honor.

An alarmist on April 1 : The climate change truth is out there

I know there were 2500 climatologists involved in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but there are thousands more out there who disagree with the IPCC's conclusions, for a wide variety of reasons.
