Global warming is one of the sacred cows of the political left<\/a>. Part of this is due to the fact that climate change can be used as a weapon against capitalism, free markets, and successful democratic nations.<\/p>\n

In February of last year, I posted an article<\/a> that included the following quote:<\/p>\n

…Then listen to the words of former\u00a0United Nations climate official\u00a0Ottmar Edenhofer<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOne has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy<\/a>. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,\u201d said Edenhofer, who\u00a0co-chaired the U.N.\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/a> working group on Mitigation of Climate Change<\/a> from 2008 to 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what is the goal of environmental policy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe redistribute de facto the world\u2019s wealth by climate policy,\u201d said\u00a0Edenhofer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So that explains why the political left is so in love with the idea of global warming. Now let’s look at the omissions in a recent Associated Press<\/a> article about global warming as reported in The Daily Caller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

An Associated Press reporter sent some questions to Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.<\/a> about what role global warming played in this year\u2019s slew of billion-dollar natural disasters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pielke, an expert on natural disaster costs, apparently didn\u2019t give AP reporter Seth Borenstein the answers he was looking for, because his ensuing article<\/a>\u00a0didn\u2019t have any quotes from the University of Colorado<\/a> professor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following questions and answers were omitted from the AP article:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Please follow the link to The Daily Caller<\/a> and read the entire article. It illustrates how the media tries to shape the debate rather than simply reporting facts. As I have stated before, the best website on the internet for climate information is wattsupwiththat.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
