MSM’s Got Zippered Lips About NASA’s Temperature Data Revisions

Think you’ll see anything on ABC, NBC, CBS or in the major newspapers about the revised temperature data that NASA has “quietly” released after finding it had a Y2K bug that was skewing the temps up a bit? Well, the story broke mid-week and there’s still nothing on any of their websites, let alone on their programs. Ace has some pertinent thoughts on this:

So we’re down to exactly one MSM mention, as far as I can tell, and honestly, it’s hard even to claim FoxNews is part of the MSM. Certainly the MSM doesn’t count them as such. They all think they’re just GOP TV.

So, really– zero MSM mentions of an important story about global warming.

Why?

Because sometimes relevant facts must be withheld from the public so they are not misled by trivial things like evidence, science, and actual news.

Nope, Ace — can’t have that at all . . . wouldn’t want anyone thinkin’ those “carbon offsets” they’ve been buyin’ from ol’ Big Al Gore were just helpin’ him pay his light bill instead o’ savin’ the planet.

Of course, the Warmies aren’t about to give it up, not even a little — not that I’m at all surprised.

    I doubt you will see much if anything on this in the mass media. You can bet that the warmies are already saying it’s just a minor data adjustment and not a big deal. It does poke holes in many of their claims about recent temperature trends however, which I think is a big deal. Still in question is the location and likely inteference to the U.S. temperature data gathering stations since many have been found to be flawed by close placement to A/C exhausts, asphalt surfaces or other structures. It’s interesting that Steve McIntyre, at Climiteaudit.org who corrected the temperature charts for N.A.S.A. and James Hansen has had the website shut down by denial of service attacks. Someone wants to put a lid on it, that is for certain. How intensely gratifying it must be to Steve McIntyre to make the warmies admit to their errors.

    This, and now we hear of possible fraud in the I.P.C.C.
    Chinese temperature assessments. I think the global warming proponents are having a very bad summer. When is the mass media going to cover these very real developments?
