With the help of politicians and large funding sources, the hostilities have continued to this day.

The paper was found to have significant errors, which were compounded by James Taylor at Forbes magazine when he sensationalized the article and presented his opinion of it as news. How was it possible that Spencer's paper got through the peer review system?

She explained that we will not like the weather of the future as it will become increasingly extreme if we do not reduce our carbon emissions. She said that it is possible to, and we must, replace our fossil fuel energy sources with renewable sources by 2050.

This has greatly affected the way of life of the native Inuit who live and hunt on the Polar Ice. While some may adapt, their way of life and culture, we show sustained them for centuries, will be destroyed.

The increasing CO2 may be leading to extreme weather, crop failures, droughts and wildfires. The recent heat waves, droughts, and wildfires in Oklahoma should bring home to us what our failure to ratify the Kyodo Treaty may be costing us.

There exists an misinformation pipeline that speedily takes misinformation from skeptic's journal articles and delivers it to major news outlets before the information can be debunked. The solution to this problem is for those who report the news to avoid bias and follow journalism ethics. Climate Politics 2011-08-19T03:09:48+00:00
