In this case it was wrong. In other cases they might be right. Which is why you don't attack the source.

You are aware that in the US of A and even in Canada the spin doctors have turned Global Warming into a liberals vs conservatives. All they want is for you to think there is a massive debate, not to promote the truth.
Exactly what they wanted to achieve, hire people to put a spin and convince people there is a massive argument amongst the scientific community and the average joe 6 pack will end up thinking this is some controversial debate amongst the community.
Its exactly what the tobacco industry did with their spin doctors and paid scientists who prolonged the eventual truth coming out so their profits wouldn't be hurt until the very last moment. You think that the heavy polluters like big oil aren't doing everything in their power to ensure their huge profits aren't hurt by government programs to slow down pollution that would cut massively into their profits?
Fox has a very heavy bias towards conservative issues, and in the USA that means you think all the trillions of tons going into the atmosphere just gives the earth this pretty glow, doing no harm
But yeah Photon belittled that original link quickly enough, my job was to remind people of the bias that Fox has and will always show in this debate.
Its amazing to me that people let it become political, since really improving the world with less pollution and using our vast resources of brilliant minds to clean up our act is worse than just watching the world reach a tipping point and screw up this one planet we have.
