The news media’s reporting on climate change is always gloom and doom, but as George Ahearn points out, they are basing their reports off junk science.

The biggest myth in American journalism is that climate news is covered as a science when we all know it is covered as a political left or right issue. Since the press has already decided that the matter is scientifically settled, you rarely get any good news, mostly Armageddon.

In fact, most of the research since 1980 has shown a significant lack of progress on the question of climate sensitivity, raising the issue of even more uncertainties, particularly over whether the expected warming would be a net plus or minus and whether the elimination of fossil fuels is worth the cost.

Take for example, a recent French report from the Washington Post web site (or all places) that was not picked up by the main street media, because the news was good. It illustrates that even the U.N. International Panel on Climate Control (IPCC) can’t give a specific answer to the question: How much will the Earth’s average surface temperature go up if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere doubled? Right now, they would tell you 1.5 C to 4.5 C, which has been the answer for the last 25 years.
