The Red Star Tribune has a piece by Brian Rambert that is, once again, calling an end of the debate on the causes of global warming and silencing those of us who do not accept the theory put forth by the hard-left that it is due to the activities of man rather than the natural cycle of the Earth and Sun.

The ethical challenge for journalists and journalism (as opposed to infotainment personalities in "the media") is stark. It means accepting what the best available science has now concluded is fact about global warming -- that it's happening and human activity is an aggravating if not principal cause -- and pulling the plug on spurious "debate" engendered by conservative ideologues, much like what credible news organizations have done with Holocaust-deniers and creationists.

In the case of major newspapers like the Star Tribune and local television news outlets like KSTP, WCCO, KARE and KMSP, this would mean largely if not completely ignoring the vocal minority railing away at the work and findings of the National Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. If the talk radio choir wants to have a "debate" among itself, fine. But for journalists the debate phase has ended and the story now is, "What to do?"

Lambert is likening those who have looked at the issue of global warming and determined that it is a natural and unstoppable phenomenon with holocaust-deniers and creationists. He does not put forth any science that counters the claims that climate change is a natural cycle. Zero. Only repeats the mantra of Al Gore and it is carbon dioxide that is the cause.

Serious journalists cannot honor their professional commitment to truth while simultaneously pandering to political ideologues who are substituting campaign-style spin and misinformation for science.

Here he is right, but for the wrong reasons. The substantial amount of science that has been and is still being performed by serious climate scientists continues to point to the current warming trend of the Earth's climate has being natural and solar driven. Avery and Singer compiled a lot of this material in their recent book, Unstoppable Global Warming.

Does this guy, Lambert, read any science? Or is he just another puppet of the global warming moonbats like Al Gore?

The Star Tribune has shown its ignorance on the issue, as well as its bias, in having published this piece by Lambert.
