Back in July, Media Matters scolded conservative columnists George Will and Mark Steyn for making "false claims" about global warming:
In his July 23 Washington Post column, George Will repeated National Review Online columnist Mark Steyn's false claim that "[i]f you're 29, there has been no global warming for your entire adult life. If you're graduating high school, there has been no global warming since you entered first grade." (...) I
n fact, Steyn's claim is false: While 1998's annual global average temperature set a record high that has not since been matched in most datasets, climate experts have identified a long-term warming trend and reject the notion that global warming has slowed or stopped.
In the wake of Climaquiddick, Media Matters' smug certainty now sounds pretty pathetic. Especially since no less a personage than Tim Flannery, Chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council and long-time global warming alarmist, admitted on Tuesday that Steyn was right:
When we come to the last few years when we haven’t seen a continuation of that (warming) trend we don’t understand all of the factors that create earth’s climate...We just don’t understand the way the whole system works… See, these people work with models, computer modelling. So when the computer modelling and the real world data disagree you’ve got a very interesting problem… Sure for the last 10 years we’ve gone through a slight cooling trend.
I haven't spotted a retraction and apology to Steyn and Will on the Media Matters site. I'll keep looking.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media has done such a bad job reporting on those hacked emails that prove global warming was a hoax all along, it's come to this:
Comments
Republicans are the main cause of global warming
You're absolutely right! We ARE the main cause of global warming, because we're totally HOT.
Global Warming = Redistribution of the Wealth = Control
obamacare = Redistribution of the Wealth = Control
Just another Commie Fairy Tale.
YOU TELL THEM WALRUS! THOSE COMMIE REPUBLICANS!
RealClimate.org has done a great job of explaining the context of the stolen CRU Emails. However, I must warn one that they must have at least the attention span of a 3 year old child to read it.

These LIEberals are pathetic you can catch them in a LIE RED-handed, pun intended, and they still have no shame in defending their bulls**t, what a bunch of PATHETIC CREATURES they must be.
YOU TELL THEM walrus-the real one!
Aren't you Ken Grub a Warmist?
AGL,
Still haven't master the whole attention span thingy. Dude, reading is fundamental.
GLOBAL WARMUP = REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH = CONTROL
obamacare = REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH = CONTROL
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY.

(fake)walrus says:
"GLOBAL WARMUP = REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH = CONTROL

I think fake walrus broke a spring or something...I should have warned him that thinking like walrus is hard work and shouldn't be tried by the feable-minded.
Heeeeeres Johnny
"...no less a personage than Tim Flannery, Chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council and long-time global warming alarmist, admitted on Tuesday that Steyn was right..."
Tim Flannery has admitted no such thing. Kathy Shaidle is lying to her readers.
