Reporting...the 'Fair and Balanced' way

Today, a group from the National Academy of Scientists issued a report on climate change.

Even while reporting this "unpleasant" fact, the Murdoch paper had to add the "nontheless" comment. It should come as no surprise since science is being ambushed by the "right" people.

Climate-Change Study Points to Man's Role - WSJ.com: "'Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks,' the academy report concludes. The peer-reviewed study was done by 55 scientists from academia, industry and elsewhere vetted by the academy.

The next IPCC report will be in 2014. In some areas, the study provides a more up-to-date assessment of climate change. 'We carefully looked at the scientific literature of the last five years, our own [academy] research,' plus other sources, said Pamela Matson, dean of Stanford University's school of earth sciences, who helped compile the report.

Nonetheless, the academy acknowledged that there is significant uncertainty when attempting longer-term predictions about climate change."
