Following on the heels of Time magazines alarmist
cover stories on
global warming, this weekends release of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
has given movie reviewers for major newspapers a chance to thaw out
their liberal political views on climate change.
Ending his March 31 review of the animated feature, The
Christian Science Monitors
Peter Rainer
remarked, I am happy to say that Ice Age: The Meltdown points up
for toddlers the dangers of global warming.
Chicago Sun-Times reviewer
Roger Ebert
cooed, If kids have been indifferent to global warming up until
now, this Ice Age sequel will change that forever.
Evidently, global warming was as big a threat 1.6
million years ago as it is today, not a subject youd expect to
encounter in a film produced by Rupert Murdochs 20th Century Fox,
snarked Carrie Rickey in the March 31 Philadelphia Inquirer.
Aside from that fact that Rickeys quip belies the
usual liberal assumption that human activity is causing global
warming an impossibility in prehistoric times Rickey must have
forgotten that Murdochs Fox News Channel eschewed its Fair and
Balanced template to present a one-sided
global warming special in November
2005.
