Global Warming

On Tuesday, PolitiFact showed why Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was right to end the company’s partnership with its fact-checking partners. Writer Caleb McCullough gave Donald Trump Jr. a “false” rating because he ran afoul of his preferred experts while ignoring experts who may have given him another perspective. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel claimed during an attack on Speaker Mike…

A New York Times writer is using birds to wokescold the American electorate for turning the dial back on climate change progress by inaugurating President Donald Trump. 

Alongside actual news about the awful wildfires plaguing Los Angeles, the front page of Sunday’s New York Times lead story slot featured more doomsaying environmental religion by the paper’s long-time true-believing environmental reporter David Gelles, along with the equally religious climate desk reporter Austyn Gaffney: “Fires in Los Angeles Area Are Grim Look Into Future – Warming…

On Thursday afternoon, MSNBC host Chris Jansing devoted a segment to letting climate alarmist Jeff Goodell blame the Los Angeles wildfires on human-caused global warming as the MSNBC host also promised more discussion of this topic in the near future.

The cast of CBS Saturday Morning was distraught by the possibility that, just as Ronald Reagan removed Jimmy Carter’s solar panels, Donald Trump may “stall progress” in developing infrastructure for electric vehicles and put economics ahead of "the good of the environment."

The anchors of NBC’s Today spun themselves dizzy on Saturday as they tried to give credence to two separate liberal talking points. First, Laura Jarrett memory-holed the COVID lockdowns as she proclaimed President Joe Biden to be the best jobs president “in history” while Peter Alexander tried to tie the current Los Angeles wildfires to climate change.

On Friday morning in his Substack, our friend Erick Erickson wrote that the national media’s Trump-focused and Democratic-defensive coverage of the California wildfires has led him to believe “[i]t’s time to let the press hit rock bottom” and even had him “starting to wish ill on the American press” even though “[t]he country needs it” and the powerful deserve to be held to account.

“February was the wettest month in downtown Los Angeles since 1998. With over 12 inches of rain drenching the city, it was the fourth-wettest February -- and the seventh-wettest month overall -- in the city’s nearly 150-year recorded history,” said Judson Jones’ report on Los Angeles’ weather on March 2, 2024, in The New York Times. Just under a year later, Los Angeles is on fire and…

It was a bad week for those on the left who try to censor their opponents. First, Meta announced it would ditch the fact-checkers who think they are entitled to be the final arbiters of truth and censor anyone who dissents. Now, the media’s favorite professor of climate alarmism, Michael Mann, has been forced to pay nearly $600,000 in legal fees to National Review after a frivolous lawsuit…

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both argued such attacks were not only unseemly but factually wrong; however, both blamed climate change for…

As the Los Angeles-area wildfires continue to burn, the leftist media have found almost every possible way to explain what caused them, while ignoring the obvious facts. On Wednesday’s The 11th Hour, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle brought in University of Pennsylvania professor and longtime climate alarmist Dr. Michael Mann to hypothesize about the fires as a direct effect of climate change…

People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. It claims it uses law “to confront the climate crisis.” What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things. Example: America needs minerals like copper and silver to make things. Even President Joe Biden made a speech saying America will need…

On Monday morning, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings informally added Chris Wright and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr — whom President-Elect Trump nominated to become Energy secretary and chair of the FCC, respectively — to the list of appointments they’re melting down over, fearing the former’s promise to unleash American potential on energy production and the…

To comment on Trump's cabinet nominees, Sunday's episode of MSNBC's The Weekend has Chuck Rocha, a Democrat strategist, as a guest.  In his previous position as a senior union official, Rocha had been convicted of one count of felony embezzlement, and “acknowledged responsibility for the other 17 counts." Rocha compared Trump's nominees to the contents of a "junk drawer."
