I'm a fan of the Discover Times channel on DirecTV, and the Times is that rag in New York, Pinch Sulzberger's fiefdom.
There is not a whiff of of liberal condescension on it, nor sniffing at the proles in fly-over country. No, I'm not on drugs. And I even saw a commercial on global warming and the final question posed, and to be answered, was, "Is this a bad thing?"
When in the 60s the US was developing the Valkyrie, the supersonic transport that Nixon killed, one of the reasons that scientists wanted it was their reckoning that the extra deposits of carbon in the stratosphere would warm the earth a slight amount and thereby increase crop production. Recall that this was in the days of the Paul Erlich terror, the Malthusian Population Bomb.
As I've trumpeted endlessly, it's all about power. If they thought they could get traction trashing bubble gum, they'd do it. Recall the Center for Science in the Public Interest which shreiked with horror that Fettucine Alfredo (which they claim is Italian but it was created in New York) is a "heart attack on a plate." Duh. Read the recipe. What doesn't matter. Fear brings bucks. There is never a shortage of Chicken Littles.
But I don't have to purchase any indulgences. I purchased one for forgery.
