The Audacity of Hype! by American Elephant

Even staunch liberals like Chris Matthews are beginning to realize that Barack Obama is all hype and zero substance. I imagine the Hillary camp probably pressured Matthews into this exchange with an Obama representative, but nonetheless I give Matthews credit for pointing out that Obama has accomplished absolutely nothing despite having been in elected office for years.

It’s the Sun, Stupid! by Emerald City Elephant

Polar Bears

File this one under more news you won’t hear from the mainstream media:

NEW evidence has cast doubt on claims that the world’s ice-caps are melting, it emerged last night.

Satellite data shows that concerns over the levels of sea ice may have been premature.

It was feared that the polar caps were vanishing because of the effects of global warming.

But figures from the respected US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that almost all the “lost” ice has come back.

Ice levels which had shrunk from 13million sq km in January 2007 to just four million in October, are almost back to their original levels.[read more]

Another envirowhacko scare tactic falls apart. The ice caps are not disappearing. In fact, while the arctic ice cap returns to normal, the antarctic ice cap is increasing in size:

Figures show that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than is usual for the time of year.

This just weeks after another scientific study determined that the “models” environmentalists have been basing all their predictions on, can’t even accurately predict the current climate… which  means they can’t predict anything.

But you probably didn’t hear that one from the mainstream media either. And you won’t.
