This winter's frigid cold must be demoralizing the leftist big media conglomerates. Last month, Reuters reported that Britain suffered the
coldest December since record keeping began a century ago, and that the US would likely suffer its
coldest January in at least 26 years. By early February, blizzards blanketed much of the US, as jaded residents from
New Mexico to Maine muttered sarcastic lines such as, "I just shoveled 19 inches of global warming off my driveway. Where are those snow-free winters the Democrats promised?"
But big media continues to help the Democrats push their stalled trillion-dollar carbon tax out of the snow bank -- even though journalists must report from thousands of miles away to escape global cooling. Here's an excerpt of the latest global warming alarmism from Reuters in
Anchorage:
Since the mid-1970s, Alaska has warmed at three times the rate of the Lower 48 states, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And with nearly two-thirds of U.S. national parkland located in Alaska, the issue of climate change is especially pressing there, officials say.
In some far northern parks such as Gates of the Arctic, average temperatures are expected to shift in coming years from below freezing to above freezing, crossing a crucial threshold, said Bob Winfree, Alaska science adviser for the Park Service.
"The effects of melting ice and thawing permafrost, I think, will be major," Winfree said.
Winfree is helping lead a new three-year, $500,000 climate scenario project in Alaska intended to identify and cope with the warming trend. That is part of a $10 million program to plan for and mitigate climate change in parks nationwide.
