Bias? What Bias?

I give you exhibit A, from CNN.com:



And now, the very same story, from Drudge Report:



I honestly wish I knew how people/pundits can sit with a straight face and say that global warming is a "scare" or "faulty science" or a "theory." Whenever I see those people in a debate, I wish the people opposing them would do one, very simple exercise. Take a picture of Mount Kilimanjaro in say, 1950. Then take one of it now and hold them up side by side. Then ask said talking head to explain WHERE THE FUCK THE SNOW WENT. That's it.

The full TIME story can be found over here, by the way. It's interesting to note that one of the side-effects of global warming mentioned is a slowing of the Gulf Stream; exactly what's mentioned in The Day After Tomorrow, which is quite possibly the most entertainingly bad movie ever made.

why are there so many recent articles and news items about global warming? i think there's a hidden agenda. it's not like we didn't know about this issue since the dawn of time! (ok, i was sarcastic here).

i think the scariest item i saw was on either 60 minutes or CBS sunday morning (a month or so ago), where they emphasized the shrinking polar ice masses ('70s to '90s). be scared. be very very scared.
