Saw an interesting video about Antarctica’s tourism problems and how it’s affecting the environment down there, http://www.newsy.com/videos/earth_day_at_the_end_of_the_world/

This morning I read an article in Science about the Western Antarctic Peninsula. It has gotten warmer there. As the climate is changing, the humid marine condition is heading toward the pole, following the retreating polar climate. The ecology is shifting along with the climatic conditions. I can understand how Fox broadcasters, talking heads, bloggers, and other noisemakers can be entirely ignorant of what’s going on, but I can’t understand how they so utterly lack the curiosity to ask specialists (and by “specialists,” I don’t mean the clowns on Sen. Inhofe’s List of Bozos).

Denying warming is so last century; this century it’s ‘part of the natural cycle’.

Why do one or the other when you can do both? Even if doing one obviates the other.

Greg, the BBC link is to a section page, not any piece in particular. As for the right, I think my favorite recent denial claim was Boehner's blunder. Note the absolute lack of cognitive dissonance.

Cherry picking evidence is all they’ve got.
