[Rantman] Open talk in media about climate change - and global warming

[rPauli]

The Global warming PR battleground is filled with recent skirmishes.

Much discussion today on the disconnect with the reality of global 
warming -  message style, stronger denial, and even anger.

Al Gore is swearing:  Not getting warmer?  "Bullshit" he blurts outs. * 
It is on tape - although you may just hear a beep.

*Yale forum on Climate Change and the Media is talking about how climate 
change and global warming are themselves "the New Dirty Words".

Instead preferring to hide it in the discussions of energy policy.

And Peter Sinclair has perhaps the most compelling new video  
http://youtu.be/YVh7z-0oo6o*  on the cognitive dissonance of 
mis-perceiving global warming.

The anti-scientist naysayer -  Joe Bastardi was in full delusionary 
attack form on Fox news

The battle is warming up - Dr Roy Spencer has a recent report out that 
climate is cooling.
