National Propaganda Radio, much to my amazement, ran a story yesterday discussing how a NASA study of ocean temperatures for about the last 5 years shows that the oceans have cooled slightly in that time.
Of course, they can't accept the possibility that climate change goes in cycles and that we might be in for a bout of global cooling...something that more than a couple serious scientists suggest may happen due to the lack of sunspot activity.
Instead they quote someone saying that global warming "may be on a brief hiatus".
They also make one very misleading statement when they discuss rising ocean levels when they talk about the rate of glaciers melting in Greenland and Antarctica. First, Greenland's ice loss is much slower than they'd like you to believe. But more importantly, Antarctica, which holds 90% of the world's sea ice, has been gaining mass overall fairly consistently for many years, especially in its eastern part, even though some parts of the much smaller western part are melting at the edges.
It's going to take a little longer, and they may cause a lot of damage first, but at some point global warming alarmists will be revealed for what they really are much in the same way that Barack Obama has been revealed in recent days.
