LA Times bans letters from climate skeptics
Reached at his home on Friday, Thornton told FoxNews.com his policy was being misinterpreted. “This is not a blanket ban on ‘skeptics.’ What it does ban is factual inaccuracy,”
This is same LA Times which publishes factual inaccuracies about the climate almost every day. They said in August that New Mexico would never recover from the drought – right before New Mexico flooded.

But nowhere is it worse than in New Mexico. In this parched state, the question is no longer how much worse it can get but whether it will ever get better — and, ominously, whether collapsing ecosystems can recover even if it does.
In New Mexico, water levels in the once-mighty Rio Grande are so low that it is often referred to as the “Rio Sand.” In some parts of the state, officials fear ecosystems are collapsing.
Five weeks later, New Mexico was struggling to stay dry.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Another round of rainfall moved across New Mexico on Sunday, renewing the threat of heavy runoff from already saturated soils and flooding in low areas as residents faced a major cleanup effort from damage left in the wake of days of relentless rain.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for much of central and northern New Mexico. In the northeastern corner of the state, where the chance for heavy rain was greatest, residents who live along the Gallinas River were being warned that the waterway could swell again.

Bandelier National Monument experienced two large flood events, one late afternoon Thursday, Sept. 12 and the other this morning.
Flooding in Frijoles Canyon prompted Superintendent Jason Lott to close the monument for the safety of visitors due to debris on trails and the potential for flooding throughout the weekend. Bandelier staff will begin clean-up efforts as soon as rains subside and hope to re-open the monument by Monday, Sept. 16.

A few days later the LA Times warned their readers about rising sea levels.
Climate change deniers live in ignorant bliss as seas keep rising
But there has been no sea level rise in LA for three decades.

The LA publishes misinformation about the climate constantly, and their stance is indicative of their own stupidity, prejudice and uselessness at journalism.
Even worse, Reps party of hope…..?????? http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/479d52d4-37e1-11e3-8668-00144feab7de.html#axzz2i9AdwELk

I post this comment from Dot Earth because I never seen a better example of “projection”. They are specifically referring to the Tea Party and others on the right.
“The problem arises when scientific findings clash with political positions. In the case of climate science deniers it’s when you start talking about the environment, especially in the context of human caused global warming. That’s when people who are perfectly rational and are scientific literates suddenly reject valid scientific findings. This is what can make someone appear “stupid” when they aren’t.
“It doesn’t matter how trivial it is, often they will outright reject anything that contradicts their position. Which makes it extremely difficult to have a factual based discussion with a climate science denier. This behaviour doesn’t stem from not understanding science, but it’s their ideological mental armour that’s preventing them from accepting valid scientific findings.”
In other words “my way or the highway”. If anyone knows an iota about the “scientific method”, it is that all concusions are subject to challange and reanalysis. If that were not true, we would still all believe that sun rotates around the earth.
LA Times still publishes daily horoscopes.
So when someone writes a comment that GMOs are dangerous the LAT plans to remove it because the science shows no such thing? Or when someone comments that fracking causes water from faucets to become flammable, the LAT will remove it? I doubt it. This will be a selective policy that will not apply to whacky left beliefs that are not supported by scientific.
Using their own logic they should now ban themselves from publishing any information on the climate.
People should ban themselves from reading the times
It is truly mind boggling how numerous and widespread the cocksure stupid are. I suppose it has always been that way. Eventually the truth catches up with them and exposes them for what they are. Someday the climate-change buffoons will wake up and say to themselves “Wow, we sure wasted a whole sh*tload of money!” I hope I live to see that day.
This is precisely why I’ve referred to that birdcage liner as New Pravda West. There is no thought allowed outside of the politically-correct party line talking points. The sad part is, at least half of the U.S. population have been indoctrinated to swallow the KoolAid without a second thought. Jim Jones would be envious at the delusional mass devotion to such a suicidal cult that has been put together by the Marxists and their minions in the government.
