Media bias — ABC, CBS exclude skeptical scientists for 1300 days
The bias is obvious in what they don’t say. Reporters are supposed to seek out and promote the most rational, well argued positions they can find. Instead they elevate themselves to defacto “science judges” and decide which scientists deserve to be heard. It could be called arrogance, or it could be called “lying by omission”.  COLD SHOULDER: ABC, CBS Exclude Scientists Critical of Global Warming

Time to Dump "Pro-Israel"
There have been a lot of angry debates recently about Israel, complete with the requisite accusations of anti-Semitism hurled at just about anyone whose opinions about the country's history and policies contain any complexity whatsoever. Which means that this month is pretty much like any other. So let me make a proposal: Isn't it about time we just banished the very ideas of "pro-Israel"

Global Carbon Markets peaked in 2011 at €96bn euro. Over the next two years they plummeted to €36bn* euro collapsing by 60%. Though the press didn’t seem in a hurry to convey that, and if I search,  no government funded agency has done a graph like this below (perhaps I missed it?)

An Opportunity to Grow Up, For a Change
The Bourbons of France, it is said, were notable for learning nothing and forgetting nothing. Our present day Bourbons of America learned nothing from Iraq and have forgotten nothing about the Cold War long past. While busily berating Obama administration foreign policy as weak (“feckless”, etc.), they are notably vague on how a “strong”, i.e., military, policy might apply to Ukraine and the Cr
