There was a documentary on tv a little while back, featuring Frank Luntz (republican hair-challenged pollster and all-around devious weasel), advocating the use of the term "climate change" by republicans instead of "global warming," because it's more innocuous and, hey, it's easy to argue that the climate changes all the time.
So when I hear NPR news report that the the polar bears may be declared endangered today because of "climate change, which MAY BE DUE IN PART to man made emissions" ...
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.

I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.
