Uh, that’s not even smoke. It’s steam with some color added. The original was taken in winter, with a fair bit of temperature difference between the effluent air and the atmosphere. Those same “steam stacks” in summer?: no steam. Add some brown, and you got yourself a nice ‘lil attack on capitalism…..

I just finished “State of Fear” after putting it off for a long time.

While the plots in the book were much more dramatic, the tactics and strategies used by the ‘global warming cabal’ that Crichton described are no different than they are by the real life Gorebots.

Isn’t this the same smoke that was over “Burning Beirut” last Summer?

They’re just recycling.

For faux-offsets.

Even if these photos were not retouched this scene could be reversed with anti pollution efforts. Have you ever seen pictures of Pittsburg PA during the height of steel production in the US ? Today Pittsburg is a beautiful city, just minus the smog>

You know, when I was a kid, the news was bad, and biased, and it took a lot of work to prove it.

I actually did a study for a journalism class that showed (on a small scale involving the local paper and TV news) that you were actually better-informed about what had actually happened in the last month if you avoided the paper and news shows.

Did I mention I was not popular in journalism class? The teacher loved it, though – he was an actual journalist of the sort we don’t see many these days.

The great news is, now we can ALL do that on the net.

Fight the MSM power! :)

According to the poll, seven in 10 Americans want more federal action on global warming, and about half of those surveyed think the government should do "much more" than it is doing now.

Two words....... "Brain Washed"

Tightly coupled but loosely cohesive.
Global Warming is an excuse to put your head in the sand and ignore the global hatred around us.
It’s a distraction, it’s an excuse to bring back communism.
Hillary wants those oil profits and it’s the first step towards nationalizing industry. Blogs are not enough, this needs to be on the boob tube. I hope Smerconish gets the MSNBC gig also.

unamused would sooner eat his television that watch Oprah.
However, my wife watches her. I think she does it to push my buttons…

I want a poll question that asks how much more in taxes are you willing to pay to prevent global warming.

kmcguire on April 20, 2007 at 4:39 PM

None, because MMGW is crap.

Oprah is doing an energy conservation segment as we type…

Rightwinged is wondering why unamused is watching Oprah as we type…

Long live the blogs, else such lies would never be exposed and opposed. What journalists USED TO DO, they now fear citizens doing to them. Uncovering their lies and distortions to keep the truth visible.

They’ll blame it on some contractor I’m sure.

Oh, most definitely. It will be the photographers, or the editors, or someone else’s fault.

Fauxtography Strikes Again…

This fauxtography brought to you by the CBC. A reader of Small Dead Animals, discovered a doctored photo of pollution. He was wondering if it actually was doctored, and Small Dead Animals looked into it. They checked the file extension, and noticed it …

Ah! The Sky is Falling!

And if you pay $19.99, Al Gore can show you how to stop it.

Operators are standing by.

The CBC is filled with vacuum-heads, all the reporting is so slanted, all the time.

I think they export US newspeople…they get trained in propaganda dissemination up there and then ply their dishonest trade down here.

They tried to shut Don Cherry up once, luckily he has testicles and stood up to those Stalinsts.

B-B-B-B-But…The Greater Good (TM) , Allah!

Can’t you see that the media is just telling a little white lie to make sure we limit our expectations from a truly fair and earth friendly economy? Is that really so wrong? Is it?
