Global Warming

• August 18 -- "Alarming" Environmental Bias at the Times
A Dean Murphy story (with an alarmist headline, "Study Finds Climate Shift Threatens California") accepts as fact the theory of man-made global warming while pushing an "alarming" study from left-wing environmentalists.

• June 2 -- "Sloth, Greed And Fear" to Blame for Kyoto Rejection
The Sunday Book Review features a round-up review of several environmental doomsayer books by editorial board member Verlyn Klinkenborg, who quotes discredited environmental hysteric Paul Ehrlich and puts resistance to the Kyoto Protocol down to "custom, ignorance, sloth, greed and fear."

• May 28 -- It's Only a Movie, Guys
Can a new environmental disaster movie with a ludicrous premise help the crusade against "global warming"? A Times' editorial board member hopes so. (Remember when Dan Quayle got ripped for allegedly confusing TV with reality?)

• May 12 -- Bye Bye Bangladesh Thanks to Bush
Times Sunday Magazine contributing writer James Traub comes up with a list of things to be afraid of in the age of terror.

• January 27 -- Accuracy on Ice: The Times on Global Warming
Sunday's editorial page lets off steam about Bush on global warming--but the paper's embarrassing history on the subject suggests it should cool its jets.

• January 2 -- The U.S. vs. the U.N--Guess Which Side the Times Takes?
Amidst a laundry list of alleged Bush sins against internationalism, a Times editorial defends the United Nations against the "unilateral" U.S. and laments "Washington's rush to invade" Iraq.

• December 11 -- Kyoto Curtailed by White House
The Times rehashes criticism of Bush for not backing the environmental Kyoto Protocol, and again fails to note Bush isn't the first to reject the Kyoto Protocol--the Senate did so while Clinton was in office.

• December 4 -- Kyoto: Russia Balks, But Bush Blamed
Russia is having second thoughts about ratifying the environmental decree known as the Kyoto Protocol, but instead of pinning the "blame" on Russia, a Times editorial finds a more appealing bogeyman: "Indeed, it can be argued that Russia would not be having second thoughts about the Kyoto accord had Mr. Bush himself decided not to bail out."

• November 19 -- Prospering China Driving Global Warming?
A front-page story by SUV-hater Keith Bradsher approves China's strict new emissions laws for cars and assumes as fact the theory of human contribution to global warming.

• November 5 -- Fight Global Warming: Eat Your Veggies
Health columnist Jane Brody says you can fight global warming by eating your vegetables: "Better for your health, and the earth's, is to eat more chicken and fish. Still better, eat fewer animal foods and more plant foods, especially those organically grown."

• November 5 -- We'll Wait for the Movie
Kenneth Chang comes up with this apocalyptic scenario: "Suppose that over the next decade or two the forecasts of global warming start to come true. Color has drained from New England's autumns as maple trees die, and the Baltimore oriole can no longer be found south of Buffalo. The Dust Bowl has returned to the Great Plains, and Arctic ice is melting into open water."

• August 8 -- I Am Bush, Destroyer of Worlds
…says the latest op-ed by Paul Krugman. Stuck in permanent smarm mode, Krugman writes on the ruin of ancient Mesopotamia’s environment and concludes: “Will we avoid the fate of past civilizations that destroyed their environments, and hence themselves? And the answer is: not if Mr. Bush can help it.”

• August 4 -- A Coal Mine of Bias
The Times editorializes on a Senate proposal to limit global warming, “an issue on which the world has spoken clearly [via the Kyoto Protocol] but Congress has remained irresponsibly silent for too long.” But Congress did speak on the issue--just not the way the Times wanted.
