so you can tell us all how things are just fine up there in the arctic!

Enough silliness. I agree with you the media overstates and sensationalizes everything, and it is nauseating. However, 'Scientific American' is not what I would call an alarmist or sensationalizing publication, and as a long time subscriber I can tell you that in this very area they are concerned that good science is being swept aside for profits by greedy old men who don't care about anything than their own immediate gratification, regardless of the consequences to others or the world around them. (Unless, of course, you think you're smarter than the internationally recognized climatological experts and editorial board of THAT publication, too!)

Why don't we talk about video and try to 'help' one another, hmmm? Let's leave the 'politics of science' to another forum....

You keep coming on with that stuff, and you get a reply.

"Good science" is being practiced as well by the "skeptics". Why is it that skepticism is highly regarded as healthy, as a rule, but not in the area of "anthropogenic global warming"? Why is it that here, skepticism is tantamount to "holocaust denial"? (I refer you to Ellen Goodman, Harvard '63, in the Boston Globe.) If God and science were really on your side, what would be the need for accusations and demagoguery?

As for "greedy old men", perhaps you don't realize that shareholder participation in American corporations is nearly 50% of the population, which includes widows, women and young children.

By the way, thirty years ago I caught Scientific American telling lies about digital audio, in a blatant promotional effort; I wrote them, and the editor just blustered back. The same magazine has also served as a mouthpiece for Thomas Edison and numerous others. Your trust is misplaced.
