On Saturday, NewsBusters asked:Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine seeing an article at the liberal website the Huffington Post that not only refuted the anthropogenic global warming myth, but also asked Nobel Laureate Al Gore to apologize for the climate hysteria he's caused? Apparently, neither could the website's founder, as Arianna Huffington has now gone on the record as saying, "It…

It's really cold outside.How cold is it?It's so cold that people in Belgium are burning copies of the print version of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."Such was satirically presented in the Belgian newspaper De Standaard Wednesday (full-size cartoon below the fold courtesy Anthony Watts):

Chuck E. Cheese's, the arcade/pizza restaurant chain popular for children's birthday parties, has a marketing slogan: "Where a kid can be a kid." It's a nice, simple phrase that punctuates its TV ads. And it's highlighted by contrast when the ads appear on the children's network Nickelodeon. It's not that that Nick has replaced "Sponge Bob" or "Fairly Odd Parents" with adult programming - Nick's…

On his program on Monday evening, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs criticized the proponents of the theory of manmade global warming in response to a report by correspondent Ines Ferre about the latest climate data: “[T]hey bring this thing to a personal belief system.

If media could be found legally liable for worsening the current economic crisis, mightn't they be similarly prosecuted for exaggerating anthropogenic global warming if it leads citizens, companies, and governments to waste money solving a problem that doesn't exist?  Consider if you will a January 2008 cover story by E magazine which predicted the end of winter as we know it.Given the often…

From June: 'No ice at the North Pole,' to January: 'Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979' No pairing of any two stories better illustrates the child-like alarmism of global warming religionists than these two stories. The first from June of 2008 claims that all the ice at the North Pole has melted and will be gone for the first time ever, while the second shows that by January of 2009 the…

Climate realists around the world have contended for years that the real goal of alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his followers is to use the fear of man-made global warming to redistribute wealth.On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-…

Here we go again - another media hit on the dangers of fish consumption due to the possible threat that mercury may have on pregnant women. A segment on the Dec. 30 "NBC Nightly News" warned viewers to exercise caution when consuming fish because of the potential side effects it may have on newborn children. "There's no question that fish is healthy," NBC chief science correspondent Robert…

It's the end of another year, but before 2008 is finally consigned to the ash heap of history, let's spend just a few more minutes reviewing some of the goofiest media moments of the past 12 months. A great deal has already been written here at NewsBusters about the Media Research Center's Best Notable Quotables of 2008, with much mocking of "Quote of the Year" winner Chris Matthews for the…

Did you need any more proof that climate alarmism is indeed an environmental religion?The Church of England has invested 150 million pounds with Generation Investment Management, the green fund started by Nobel Laureate Al Gore.Can I get a "Hallelujah" ladies and gentlemen?As reported by Religious Intelligence News Tuesday:
