[Alarmist journalist David Appell weighs in]: Climate in Wonderland

In actual fact, there is hardly any disagreement among practicing scientists that man-made climate change is real, is upon us and is going to get much worse in the decades to come.

As a science journalist, I have attended many climate science conferences. There, I've rarely seen any presentations that disagree with the man-made climate change position. Moreover, such disagreements rarely appear in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The vast majority of papers accept the basic science of man-made climate change and are building upon it, working to examine its consequences.

Disputes by climate change skeptics now appear only in the dark corners of the Internet, because they do not pass the muster necessary for scientific publication.

We have already seen how a little inquiry can expose the grandest of claims about the fashionable if fading new label for central planning, the "green economy". When President Obama was outed on his claims about Spain - as in serially calling on us to "think about what's happening in countries like Spain, Germany and Japan" -- he simply transitioned to "Denmark and Germany". Well, Denmark (like Germany) was also exposed. Then Japan's scheme turned out to be no more than the same Spanish and German program of raising consumer energy costs to transfer the wealth to "green economy" interests, according to its own government.

As a result, Obama no longer points to anywhere his model has worked.

With a Little Help from Its Media Buddy, USA Today, the U.S. Geological Survey Perpetuates Climate-Science Fraud - Big Journalism

To recap, the USGS this week issued a report that summarizes Asian glacier science from the 1970s. Nonetheless, a USGS civil servant wrote an alarming press release in the present tense, and titled it, “Asian Glaciers Retreating.” A reporter at USA Today then parroted the press release, evidently without reading the underlying report. This shoddy media, in turn, informs leading politicians like John Kerry, who use fake facts to try to scare people into voting for energy rationing. Thus is climate alarmism manufactured.
