Primetime coverage of global warming at Fox News is overwhelmingly misleading, according to a new report that finds the same is true of climate change information in the Wall Street Journal op-ed pages.

Both outlets are owned by Rupert Murdoch's media company News Corporation. The analysis by the science-policy nonprofit Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) finds that 93 percent of primetime program discussions of global warming on Fox News are inaccurate, as are 81 percent of Wall Street Journal editorials on the subject.

"It's like they were writing and talking about some sort of bizarre world where climate change isn't happening," study author Aaron Huertas, a press secretary at UCS, told LiveScience.
Fox News Climate Coverage 93% Wrong, Report Finds

When we have people doing actual fake news, the Trumpanzees are totally oblivious, or cheering it on.

87.36% of all climate statistics are pulled out of someone's rectum.

It is all made up bullcrap. They have no studies and no datasets to dispute the evidence so they make up bullcrap.

None of the lamestream media talks about the geo-engineering / stratospheric aerosol injection spraying program of heavy metal nano-particulates........so the "global climate change" issue is bullshit until this program is brought out in the open.

Greenies are back to its all over.....we are extinct in couple of decades....
Are we headed for near-term human extinction?

Personally, I'm relieved we're all going extinct from global warming this time.
I remember when all the research and scientists proclaimed we were all gonna die from global cooling and that really sucked.

Then you memory is not worth a shit.

There are a few, not that many, scientists that think there will be massive 'burps' of methane from the Arctic clathrates. Richard Alley said that he thinks at worst there is only a 5% chance of this happening. But then, would you get on an airplane if someone said, with authority, there is a 5% chance this plane will crash before it gets to it's destination?

LOL!!!! You are sooooooo uninformed...........pathetically uninformed.

The ancillary promise is that, through green consumerism, we can reconcile perpetual growth with planetary survival. But a series of research papers reveal there is no significant difference between the ecological footprints of people who care and people who don’t. One recent article, published in the journal Environment and Behaviour, says those who identify themselves as conscious consumers use more energy and carbon than those who do not.

Because there is no stratospheric aerosol injection spraying program of heavy metal nano-particulates.....

You'd better get off Earth then......there is a 5% chance of a burp.

I cant believe there are still people who think FOX News is some alternative news organization in 2017!!! C'mon now......they are simply another globalist tool providing enough stuff that is not-k00k left to make the dummies who watch FOX to think they are winning. Fucking dummies......everybody on that network hammers Trump at every opportunity.

Only suckers tune in and watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC et. al..........all part of the Reality Manufacturing Company. No real journalism going on at any of them.

 

[skookerasbil]

The plain fact is........nobody is caring about climate change on the news. CNN's Zucker said as much 3 years ago.........."tremendous lack of interest" in climate change >>

Which is why on any of the networks these days, you just don't see any climate change stories.

99% of climate alarmism is bull shit... But don't let a good lie slow ya down old fraud..

Peer-Reviewed Literature
However, these are media articles, not scientific studies. A survey of peer reviewed scientific papers from 1965 to 1979 show that few papers predicted global cooling (7 in total). Significantly more papers (42 in total) predicted global warming (Peterson 2008). The large majority of climate research in the 1970s predicted the Earth would warm as a consequence of CO2. Rather than 1970s scientists predicting cooling, the opposite is the case.

Figure 1: Number of papers classified as predicting global cooling (blue) or warming (red). In no year were there more cooling papers than warming papers (Peterson 2008).

Scientific Consensus
In the 1970s, the most comprehensive study on climate change (and the closest thing to a scientific consensus at the time) was the 1975 US National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Report. Their basic conclusion was "…we do not have a good quantitative understanding of our climate machine and what determines its course. Without the fundamental understanding, it does not seem possible to predict climate…"

What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?

Your memory seems very good at remembering things that never happened. In other places, that is called lying.

Silly Billy, a third grader has more bona fides to comment on this subject than you do. You actually manage to be less accurate than Faux.
