Global warming stories on the rise – why? | ScottishSceptic

One thing google can’t change is the nature of these stories. The trend remains clearly toward scepticism. indeed, some days I’m surprised how hostile they are, and it is an effort to find any that support the scare. But other days it will be back to the “normal” journalists trying to wring blood out of the dry global warming scare story. What is notable, is that by and large, it is the majority of smaller regional papers that tend to be more hostile questioning and informative and the larger nationals that tend to the alarmist mentality of simply repeating the press releases of this or that organisation.

However, nowadays it seems that the sciences have been corrupted by enough government money and political correctness to have them operating in parallel with their socialist brothers in the humanities. Government money is given to agitate for specific ends. Why are we surprised when the ocean acidification project suddenly finds that—guess what?—oceans are acidifying.
