Climatologist sees disastrous weather in future - Taiwan News Online

[Climate hoax promoter Heidi Cullen] also notes threats that range from the possible extinction of the Bengal tiger because of increased flooding on islands off the coast of Bangladesh, and increased danger to dog sleds from melting sea ice in Canada, east of Hudson Bay. She sees lucrative tourism reduced by warming of south Pacific waters, a warmth that will blanch the colorful corals of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and by the possibility that a hurricane will heavily damage New York's transit system by hitting the third rail at the Christopher Street subway stop.

That station in Greenwich Village is already 14.6 feet (4.5 meters) below the level of the Atlantic Ocean, according to her figures.

Despite more than ample graphs and statistics, Cullen is likely to attract readers with an insistent style and quotes from people who claim to have been already damaged by global warming. That goes especially for those who remember something of what they learned in basic chemistry or physics classes.

The itinerary includes imaginary "weather reports" for a series of future years. The one for New York dated "August 2050" is the most optimistic, although it envisions the Atlantic as warming to "bathtub" temperature.

This is probably a good point to bring in this transcript of a meeting of top journalists back in 2005. I chanced upon this while looking for something else. These top truthseekers were discussing how to deal with coverage of global warming and I certainly found it fascinating to see Jon Snow cheerleading for the AGW cause and a man from Greenpeace on hand to make sure that everyone is getting the correct message.

Is it any wonder that the mainstream media is on the wane?
