Temperatures have plummeted to record or near-record lows in 32 states this winter. On March 2, a global warming protest in Washington, D.C. was buried by nearly a foot of snow. And a new study warns that the Earth could be in for a 30-year cooling trend. Reality is not cooperating with the network news’ global warming theme, yet reporters are unwilling to even discuss the possibility that the Earth is cooling.

Bill Gray is “America’s best-known forecaster,” said CBS’s Mark Strassman, and a “veteran forecaster,” according to ABC’s Ned Potter. The networks treat him like the expert he is, until they want to talk about global warming. Then he gets ignored because he thinks global warming hype is a hoax.

“Every weather forecaster of any kind is wrong sometime, but I wouldn't bet against Dr. Gray,” said CBS “weather consultant” Bryan Norcross in an April 3 report.

However, that network bets against Gray on a regular basis, as do the rest of the media.

Climate change science is complex and chock-full of heated disputes between dissenting scientists, but CNN’s “American Morning” portrayed Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe (R) as striving against the winds of scientific unanimity on global warming.

“The evidence of global warming seems overwhelming, but there’s one U.S. senator who says it’s all a hoax. We’ll take a look at his lonely battle this morning,” teased co-anchor Soledad O’Brien. The graphic onscreen read “Warming ‘Hoax.’”
