Seattle Times: "The truth about global warming"

If you missed yesterday's front page article in the Seattle Times, here's a link:<br><br> seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationwor...346_globewarm11.html

Nice to see the Times caught in the act of journalism.  ;)  Kudos to Sandi Doughton.

I suppose we can now expect to see something leaked to the media about Sandi Doughton being a CIA operative...

Thanks for posting that Lowell. The article mentioned George Taylor, the State of Oregon Climatologist whose articles, forecasts and weather summaries I frequently read. I've noted that he frequently speaks out against Global Warming but I had no idea he was on energy companies payroll:<br>

Oregon State Climatologist George Taylor is a featured author on the Web site Tech Central Station, funded by Exxon and other corporations and described as the place where "free markets meet technology."<br>&lt;snip&gt;<br>Taylor said in an e-mail that Tech Central Station paid him $500 for global-warming articles. United for Jobs, an industry coalition that opposes higher fuel-efficiency standards and greenhouse-gas limits, also paid Taylor and a co-author $4,000 for an article published on Tech Central Station.

<br>I also had no idea he wasn't OSU facility, since his website is hosted by OSU. This was the guy last year that predicted we were going to have a stellar winter . . .

Another global warming story:<br> www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9679044/

<br>But one skeptic, state climatologist George Taylor of Oregon, said it is difficult to determine an accurate global average temperature, especially since there are not enough stations recording ocean temperatures.<br><br>"I just don't trust it," Taylor said of the new calculation, noting that Goddard's findings are "mighty preliminary."<br><br>

Didn't Greenland used to be green, meaning that it used to be warmer than it is now? Well, that could be wrong, but just a thought.<br><br>Anyway some alternate views on global warming: www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,172188,00.html

It would be nice to know the truth.

There used to be 1,300 foot ice sheet over where I am now sitting, I like it better the way it is now. I suppose if an ice age started again (on schedule) then we would blame ourselves for that?

This is my personal favorite.<br><br> junkscience.com/MSU_Temps/Arctic1880-2004_2.gif <br><br>Who needs all sorts of fancy analysis of ice cores when this extrapolation based on about 50 years of data (out of thousands) so clearly proves global warming is not happening? Incredible. <br><br><br>
