Tom Nelson: "Not Grounded In Facts": Environmental Journalism Veterans Slam Wall Street Journal Editorial Board | Blog

Anonymous said...: Yet another example of warmist journalists claiming that some entity that doesn't toe the AGW line is "not grounded in facts," yet the warmist journalists never provide any specific instances in which the organization in question is mistaken.

The only semblance of an example in this Media Matters article is presented by Sharon Friedman... and she gets it wrong. She said the WSJ questioned "how much our current warming is man-made as opposed to merely another of the natural climate shifts that have taken place over the centuries." She doesn't like that sentence, claiming it's misleading.

"As far as the majority of scientists go, there is no dispute that climate change is occurring," she said.

Can you see where she veers off into the weeds? The WSJ never said climate change isn't occurring. They merely ask how much of it is man-made and how much of it is natural, a perfectly poignant issue in science right now.; 1:04 PM, August 07, 2012
