Now, it seems, we are willing to take a first year college student out into the tundra to investigate global warming. A National Science Foundation gave out a $1.6 million grant for 11 students to go to the Siberian Arctic to do some testing of the effects of global warming.
The line I thought amuzing is this...
“We went to Duvannyi Yar along the Kolyma River where the permafrost is thawing and turning the hills into muddy slush, like the mud pots in Yellowstone National Park,” she said. “It’s very surrealistic, with trees clinging on for dear life.”
Chandra said most Russian scientists don’t believe current global warming is caused by humans, “but after visiting that site, there is no doubt the warming is human-induced. The amount of what is natural and what is human-caused still needs to be researched further.”
So, there is "no doubt" it is human induced? How exactly did she come up with that scientific fact? And of course the reporter didn't put anything in the article questioning the statement. "It's perfectly clear, just look at it! Permafrost doesn't melt unless humans do something to make it melt!"
This is an excellent example of why our media is not a news gathering organization any longer. Instead the are a propaganda desseminators. They just write what they hear, they don't test what they hear and wright about it. Some 19 year old nobody decides in her brillant scientific judgment that there is no doubt of human induced global warming and the news article prints it and accepts it. They don't question it, they don't put up another point of view, they just print it.
And the reason why? Because the discussion is over with for them. Some people in Europe with alot of letters after their names said that global warming is real and that the only thing to talk about now is how to get the money to fix it.
