On Thursday, February 6, I posted the following: “Joel B. Pollak of Breitbart on-line reports that: “The New York Times announced Thursday that profits had fallen nearly 50% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period a year before.”"

 

I then suggested that it seems that not only is this paper losing its audience, greatly growing numbers of people are becoming fed up with left-leaning media and their causes altogether.

 

And then today, the Times published an article by Porter Fox, titled The End Of Snow?  

      

Mr. Fox writes that, “Officials canceled two Olympic test events last February in Sochi after several days of temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a lack of snowfall had left ski trails bare and brown in spots. That situation led the climatologist Daniel Scott, a professor of global change and tourism at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, to analyze potential venues for future Winter Games.”

 

As far as climatologist Scott’s concerned: “His thought was that with a rise in the average global temperature of more than 7 degrees Fahrenheit possible by 2100, there might not be that many snowy regions left in which to hold the Games. He concluded that of the 19 cities that have hosted the Winter Olympics, as few as 10 might be cold enough by midcentury to host them again. By 2100, that number shrinks to 6.”

 

So, here’s this guy, Scott, speculating about a 7 degree rise in temperatures over the next 86 years when forecasters with the most sophisticated equipment on earth don’t always know what the weather will be tomorrow. What’s more, overall climate hasn’t changed in 17 years at all.

 

Yet, the Times gives this guy a forum from which to spout pure speculation as if were unconditionally valid. And perhaps, that’s why their circulation’s falling faster than temperatures are. Because people are obviously tired of being constantly mislead.

 

But as far as Scott goes, if this guy really wants to find out what the trend in temperatures actually is, he ought to come to New York and open a window. And then maybe he’ll be able to type a valid report, just as soon as his fingers thaw out.

 

That’s it for today folks.
