[Is this a crystal-clear indicator that the world is overheating?]: Giant iceberg heading for Australia - Telegraph

Cartoon Special: Waiting (a long time) to exhale

[Videos] Al Gore On Talking About Climate-Gate, Global Warming And Using Fuzzy Science.

Al Gore really lays it own thick with end of the world scenarios and science that would make a 3rd grader raise an eyebrow. Sitting down with John King On CNN he talks about climate-gate and how it's really no big deal. He makes the claim that global warming is cause mostly by human beings. Nothing about volcanoes or other natural emissions. It's like a snake oil salesman who realizes this is his last chance to make a sale before they figure out he's selling bunk.
Here's part 1 of the interview.

Here's part 2.
Note: Right after the interview in part 2 CNN cuts to a report about a giant blizzard. Too funny.

East Coast Braces for Blizzard that’s Dumped Feet of Snow and Cost Lives

CHICAGO, Dec. 9 (UPI) — The first major winter storm of the season to batter large portions of the United States charged toward the East Coast early Wednesday.

The massive storm, which was blamed for at least four deaths, left 4-5 feet of snow in the Sierra and Rockies, then whipped across the Central Plains and Midwest where up to 14 inches of snow was buffeted by 40 mph winds, meteorologists at AccuWeather.com said.

They could study this in journalism schools: NYT v WaPo on climate emails - James Fallows

Not to overdramatize, but: in a way the papers are betting their reputations with these articles. The Times, that climate change is simply a matter of science versus ignorance; the Post, that this is best treated as another "-Gate" style flap where it's hard to get to the bottom of the story. While I don't claim to be a climate expert, the overwhelming balance of what I've read convinces me that the Times's approach is right. For now, I'm mainly noting the stark contrast.
