     Following on the heels of Time magazines alarmist cover stories [1] on global warming, this weekends release of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown has given movie reviewers for major newspapers a chance to thaw out their liberal political views on climate change.

     Ending his March 31 review of the animated feature, The Christian Science Monitors Peter Rainer [2] remarked, I am happy to say that Ice Age: The Meltdown points up for toddlers the dangers of global warming.

     Chicago Sun-Times reviewer Roger Ebert [3] cooed, If kids have been indifferent to global warming up until now, this Ice Age sequel will change that forever.

     Evidently, global warming was as big a threat 1.6 million years ago as it is today, not a subject youd expect to encounter in a film produced by Rupert Murdochs 20th Century Fox, snarked Carrie Rickey in the March 31 Philadelphia Inquirer [4].

     Aside from that fact that Rickeys quip belies the usual liberal assumption that human activity is causing global warming an impossibility in prehistoric times Rickey must have forgotten that Murdochs Fox News Channel eschewed its Fair and Balanced template to present a one-sided global warming special [5]in November 2005.

     On March 29, NewsBusters.org [6]documented NBC movie reviewer Gene Shalits quip about global warming during his review of cartoon.
