How in the hell did this end up on cBS News? Oh, right, it is their fairness bit, printing articles from National Review. Must drive the progressives at CBS bonkers
Ever wonder how Al Gore, the United Nations, and company continue to get away with their claim of a “scientific consensus†confirming their doomsday view of global warming? Look no farther than Wikipedia for a stunning example of how the global-warming propaganda machine works.
As you (or your kids) probably know, Wikipedia is now the most widely used and influential reference source on the Internet and therefore in the world, with more than 50 million unique visitors a month.
In theory Wikipedia is a “people’s encyclopedia†written and edited by the people who read it – anyone with an Internet connection. So on controversial topics, one might expect to see a broad range of opinion.
Not on global warming. On global warming we get consensus, Gore-style: a consensus forged by censorship, intimidation, and deceit.

As far as the coral goes
Nearly half of U.S. coral reef ecosystems are considered to be in “poor” or “fair” condition according to a new analysis of the health of coral reefs under U.S. jurisdiction by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA.
“The report shows that this is a global issue,” said Tim Keeney, deputy assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and co-chair of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. “While the report indicates reefs in general are healthier in the Pacific than the Atlantic, even remote reefs are subject to threats stemming from climate change, as well as illegal fishing and marine debris.”
The fishing and marine debris, ie, garbage, I’ll agree with. But, I wonder how well the coral does when the water gets colder. Last time I checked, coral are warm water species.
