I could have watched it for laughs except it’s not funny to see such blatant misrepresentation of the facts and with such dire potential consequences.

It’s like what James Lileks said today about our economic woes:

“I’m not worried about the economy at this point; I’m worried what people will do save it.”

Leave it alone, Oh Wise Politicians. Don’t dip your oar in where you’re neither needed or wanted.

In the LAST line of the story there is a mention about two parts and one part isn’t melting.

No mention of the fact that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is 9x larger in volume than the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Honest journalism eh ??
