Today's Forecast: Another Severe Depression

"Skepticism appears to be widespread among TV forecasters, about half of whom have a degree in meteorology. A study released on Monday by researchers at George Mason University and the University of Texas at Austin found that only about half of the 571 television weathercasters surveyed believed that global warming was occurring and fewer than a third believed that climate change was 'caused mostly by human activities.'

More than a quarter of the weathercasters in the survey agreed with the statement 'Global warming is a scam,' the researchers found."
-- Leslie Kaufman, with news that shouldn't surprise anyone who's paying attention - paying attention to the news that is - which (believe it or not) you can actually get, sometimes, from The New York Times.
