Christian Science Monitor Prints Attack On Global Warming Science Written by Stand-Up Comic

The Christian Science Monitor has printed an attack on Al Gore and others who take the threat of global warming seriously. The article is penned by An excerpt:[br />

Scared and unsure how to fight terrorists, they confront “climate change,” which only requires spending trillions of other people’s dollars on something that may not need fixing or may not be fixable. No wonder some of these people chain themselves to trees - they think money grows on them.

She’s not joking.

These are the lengths that reputable publications like the Christian Science Monitor are going to provide “balanced coverage” of the global warming issue. There is no meaningful debate within the scientific community, so scientific research is balanced by “conservative comedians.”

5. Desperate times call for pathetic measures.

This is like when Creationists try to rationalize dinosaurs and space aliens into the Bible. Go ahead, laugh and ridicule. It won't stop the planet from killing us all off if need be.

6. That's odd.

Usually the CSM's got higher standards than that.
