PBS is an American treasure.
Regarding the Jan 31 American Experience “The Greely Expedition,” it was a marvelous show, offering us a full range of details, including an even-handed account of the way society treated the survivors. But then the program tossed out this whopper: “Michael Robinson, Historian: We are now using Greely’s data to understand how global warming happens, to understand how the climate has changed over the last hundred years. The irony is that the data is of interest today but not because it offers the key to an understanding of nature, but because it offers a key to how human beings have changed nature.”
Am I off base to interpret a historian is essentially telling us we have an opportunity to understand how global warming happens as a result of the way humans have changed nature? If the program wanted to maintain its even-handedness, wouldn’t it have been better to have an IPCC scientist like Michael Oppenheimer (a 7-time guest on PBS NewsHour) make that statement, followed by one from skeptic scientist Dr. S Fred Singer (who has never appeared on the NewsHour)?
Which brings me to a larger question: with so many other similar statements creeping into PBS nature programs, such as the Wolverine program (at the 39:14 mark) and the continued lack skeptic scientists offering lengthy analysis at the NewsHour, how does PBS avoid perception of outright bias on the issue? With additions like Miles O’Brien at the NewsHour, isn’t this perception increased, considering O’Brien’s decidedly anti-skeptic CNN presentation in 2005 called “Melting Point,” where anti-skeptic book author Ross Gelbspan — who turns out NOT to be a Pulitzer winner despite widespread descriptions to the contrary — was allowed to make unsupported accusations against skeptic scientists, the basis of which were unquestioned by O’Brien?

The PBS response :
A few weeks ago the MSM warned of imminent fiery nuclear Armageddon in Los Alamos. Friends there tell me that it has been raining every day recently.

Green targets ‘could force companies to leave Britain’
By TOM MCGHIE
Last updated at 10:38 PM on 23rd July 2011Industry faces energy price increases of up to 70 per cent as a result of new ‘green taxes’ imposed by the Government.
Studies by the Energy Intensive Users Group, which represents industries such as chemicals and steel, show that the extra costs are so high that many companies may be tempted to move to countries that do not have such extreme environmental laws.
The group fears that a study by the Department of Energy into the impact of climate-change laws on energy prices for industry will attempt to downplay the impact of the new taxes.
It is raining heavily today in the Texas panhandle, north of Lubbock. The drought seems to be geographically delimited by Texas Tech, the University of Texas, and Texas A&M.
Obama got elected by saying that the world would collapse unless we gave a $trillion to his banker friends.
A few months later he said the world would collapse unless we gave another trillion to his union friends.
A few months later he said the world would collapse unless we spent a trillion to rip apart the health care system.
He always told us that the world would collapse unless we stopped emitting CO2.
And he spent the last few weeks telling us the world would collapse unless we gave him another $2.4 trillion for his re-election spending campaign.
What a guy. So hopeful, so positive, so audacious.
In 2006, unemployment was 4% and America voted for change.
In 2008, unemployment was 7% and America voted for hope and change.
Bear A swims 500 miles after a seal, suffers a heart attack and dies when a rent seeking researcher flies a helicopter 20 feet overhead.
Bear B stays on the land and forages for berries. He eats a researcher who wanders too close.
We can’t say for sure that these particular events were caused by low CO2, but these are exactly the types of simultaneous catastrophes we expect to happen when idiots are awarded science degrees and high profile jobs at NASA.
