#1 "Do you remember climate change? If you don't, according to former climate reporter David Fogarty, part of the reason might be that his past news agency, Reuters, decided to cut back its climate change coverage just as other news organizations are coming to the same conclusion. Rather than being the evidence of a global, anti-science, climate-denying cabal, Reuters's decision reflects a far more troubling trend: the news is covering it less because, frankly, we just don't care anymore."

"Troubling"? I guess so-- but only to Gaia-worshipping, tofu-munching, Prius-driving, polar bear-saving acolytes of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

As for the rest of us, it's not that we don't care-- it's that we figured out a long time ago that the entire man-made climate change movement is nothing but a gigantic scam designed to make fraudsters like Al Gore rich and guarantee shoddy academics like Michael Mann a perpetual source of research grant dollars.

#5 Another Obama Lie, so what,It's not that Global Warming doesn't exist,(Or does) but that we are used to them (Obama's Lies)by now.

He lies whenever he opens his mouth, and we're tired of it, safer to assume HE"S LYING.

Doesn't mean we listen any more, we don't

#8 Even the media dinosaurs realize that all that ad revenue they were counting on from Solydra and the other green boondogles aren't going to arrive before the farewelling of the business model.
