Fox editor urged climate skepticism

What a weird way of saying something. How do you urge climate skepticism?  Maybe a Indian rain dance can end a drought, perhaps? Dance a little harder, maybe it may change the climate or the weather or whatever.


Is this news? Should it ever be news?   Why should skepticism about a scientific theory ever be treated as if it were news?  It can only be news if it has achieved some sort of religious status.  The mere mention of skepticism in that regard would be treated as heresy.


As for the priesthood of scientists prosletizing upon this claimed phenomenon, here's their two cents for what it is worth:


  “The body of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of global warming is overwhelming,” a group of 29 scientists wrote to Congress in early December 2009. “The content of the stolen e-mails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming.”



No, it wouldn't have any impact since you guys have a vested interest in saying what you are saying.  You are preaching to the choir.  You are telling your bosses who pay you what you know that they want to hear.  There isn't a tax or boondoggle that left doesn't like.  Unless it is for something that might actually be helpful.


Update:

I had a hard time getting this thing uploaded, but finally here it is.  Let's call this video:  Mr Porkins feels the heat and sees the light
