What's the Worst That Could Happen?



The global warming "controversy" is an excellent example of why I ignore the American news media. In the 1990s, more than half of news stories on global warming said it wasn't happening, or there was doubt as to whether it was happening. A examination of a randomly selected sample of 10% of the peer-reviewed scientific studies on global warming published during the same time period, a sample size of thousands of papers, found that not a single one doubted global warming.
50+%, versus none. I'm forced to conclude that either the American news media was lying to us, or they couldn't identify a reputable source if their life depended on it. Either way, the end conclusion is that they are absolutely worthless.
