“So Can Anyone Actually Do Anything About Global Warming?”

I also recommend as a follow-up, you also look at what I wrote on the following thread, too:

“Global Warming is Dead! Long Live Global Warming!”

That some people might overreact to what was leaked (i.e., be somewhat alarmist themselves, say), is not a surprise. Good catch on what you found and reported here.

They get the benefit of the doubt with mistakes, especially considering the nature of their critics and the PC liberal media and commentary orthodoxy. At their worst they're maybe somewhere between the Washington Times on the lighter side of bias (such as in headlines, occasionally) and, say, Newsmax (whose “news” stories refer to entities like “Taxachusetts”).

It's certainly not like what's been revealed (and which is no surprise, simply remarkable to the extent and depth the participants chose to go) about PC suppression and politicized climate “science” (which is a major scandal and story, and naturally is “neglected” if not actively suppressed on this lefty site).

Fox is a lightweight, and may often be assumed to have erred, not deceived, unlike the PC Climate Psyientists.

Well at any rate, I think this is typical scientific e-mail give and take in a highly politicized arena (been there myself) and I don't think that global warming skeptics should make too much of this stuff. Besides if they are crying foul because some one who disagrees with them in a private e-mail refers to them as idiots then maybe they ought to get thicker skins.

Don't take my word for it. You too can sleuth evil climate scientists e-mail by going to the following site and enter your favorite search term!

But several scientists whose names appear in the e-mail messages said they merely revealed that scientists were human, and did nothing to undercut the body of research on global warming. “Science doesn’t work because we’re all nice,” said Gavin A. Schmidt, a climatologist at NASA whose e-mail exchanges with colleagues over a variety of climate studies were in the cache. “Newton may have been an ass, but the theory of gravity still works.”

LOL Newton was an ass, so gravity is a hoax…

Unfortunately for them we aren't dumb and the old saying “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” holds true. We aren't fooled Fox. We know you are the mouthpiece for the far right and will say and do ANYTHING to maintain your mafiosoesque hold on the populace via blatant propaganda. Even if that includes “looking” tough on “mistakes” made by your talking heads.

All this memo says is that they don't want production mistakes, which I believe is the goal of any news organization. As far as this being the “end of an era”, this does not address the editorial and programming content or their commitment to being biased.

There's absolutely nothing special about this memo telling people to do their jobs right.
