Dennis Miller made an excellent point on his radio show last night... he paraphrased Donald Sutherland's Mr. X character from JFK and said if you want to know what's really important to the mainstream media, "follow the money."
The network news divisions have been flogging the Global Warming scare for ten years, but now that we're in a recession that's hitting media companies particularly hard, those same divisions have begun the inevitable layoffs.
So what part of NBC was hit with layoffs first?
The Weather Channel, including the entire staff of FORECAST EARTH... and right in the middle of Earth Week too...
You know, if we really were on the verge of the death of the planet, I would think these sorts of divisions would hold a place among the network news companies' most highly valued assets.
Guess not.
So can I go back to not worrying about Global Climate Change now? If a standardbearer of news delivery like NBC doesn't care anymore, why should I?

For something that is supposed to based on science, global warming seems to be more of a religion. What happens when you present evidence to a scientist that casts a doubt or disproves a formerly accepted theory? That theory gets revised and the new evidence is taken into consideration. What happens if you question a person on their religious beliefs? They, to borrow a phrase from our President-Elect, "cling to their religion" no matter how many facts you put in front of them. What happens when you question global warming? You are branded a heretic and given the same treatment as would be given a holocaust denier.
