The Union of Concerned Scientists has launched a new ad campaign. It is part of their long-standing effort to shine a light on the scientific truth about human-caused global warming. It asks people to 'Monitor the print and broadcast media outlets in your area and alert us to misrepresentations about global warming', and to 'Tell Rupert Murdoch: Get the Facts Straight'. www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/science/weight-of-the-evidence.html |

'Tell Rupert Murdoch: Get the Facts Straight'. Very illuminating!  |

I watch Glenn Beck quite regularly. A very good guy. Anyone who highlights and rejects propaganda, searches for the truth and encourages others to do their own research, gets my vote. I know he's a bit of a god freak but so's the Loony of Canterbury and I'm sure you hang on his every word regarding AGW. Beck had a little rally a week or so ago. 450,000 attended. About the same as Woodstock and the hippies haven't shut up about that for 40 odd years. Contrast that to the few dozen crusties that turn up to AGW rallies - they're usually out numbered by the press. Poor old Glen didn't get much airplay in this country. Did you even know about it? If the AGW propagandists took a lead from Beck and encouraged others to do their own research and seek the truth, they might have some credibility. Can't you see that they/you never do that? |

I am always very ready and willing to accept the results of research but I am a little sceptical about research that does not follow the rigour expected by the scientific method. For example, temperature, sea level, pH of oceans, etc I would expect to have been made in more than one location in case there are specific factors that are influencing these measurements at that location (e.g. local currents, geology, etc). |

Déjà VuGordon Bennet, You're pushing this site again. Well I see they've taken my advice and up dated it. You could have picked a more 'international' site. This is an American site with a capital 'Parochial'. Sure, they'll take Your $35 [Gee thanks, brit bum] but that's not going to help the parishioners of Nether Bassett or where ever. Are You attending to one of the organisers? 'pick up thy bed and walk'. " Well he does own Fox News, probably the most right wing, anti-scientific media outlet in the world with a clear anti climate change agenda." How does that concern us? [at the risk of sounding 'parochial']. I carry no torch for the Murdochs, but slogans like "'Tell Rupert Murdoch: Get the Facts Straight'" who got the 'facts' bent? Whatever is thought about Murdoch, no-one can lay that at 'is door. StuartG Is this Her? [.pdf] www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/wote_ads/Julia_Cole_Ad.pdfmodded: is changed to 'is. 'aving trouble wit' t 'e aic' .

Joe,
I see they searched his "nightmare" past and the worst they could find was putting a gerbil down a deposit tube in a bank. - The horror!
He searches for the truth therefore the "left" are terrified of him.

naymissus,
I thought the term was balanced and entirely fair given his loony left views. No bigotry intended.
Contrast that to the bile and vitriol directed at Glenn Beck on the site Joe linked to.

I know he's a bit of a god freak but so's the Loony of Canterbury and I'm sure you hang on his every word regarding AGW. If you are espousing the virtues of Glen Beck, you have my sympathies. Neither he nor ABC are do science research - why would I or any normally rational person give them the time of day? |

"Neither he nor ABC are do science research" eh? Do you prefer the silly little hate march organised by the lefties to disrupt his massive rally. There were more people in the queue to the icecream van than they managed to muster. |

Never mind media cows like Glen Beck, what's your position on people in political power such as.....hmmm.....Senator James Inhofe. Gives us a bigger picture, us who are not too sure where you stand.

Haven't paid much attention actually. I know he's a sceptic but I'm more interested in things I can test rather than just "believe".
What's your thoughts on Gore and Pachuari?

R-Smith, you really are incorrigible. You cheer in support of Beck the rightwing journalist yet you appear to know nothing of the guy whom he sponsors at the extreme right of the Republican Party in the US. Get some script man!
