Isn't Heartland funded by corporations such as Exxon? If that is the case, then I'm not sure that they would exactly unbiased. The article is written by H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D. is he really a scientist? or just offering an opinion?

H. Sterling Burnett is a member of the National Center for Policy Analysis. Dr. Burnett received a Ph.D. in Applied Philosophy (oh yeah...I remember studying the environment in my philosophy classes  :rolleyes: )from Bowling Green State University in 2001.

They received nearly half a million in funding from Exxon.

Yes, they are and this is just one more example of 'me' going out of her way to find articles that says what she wants rather than searching for the truth.  Who wants to see my best surprised look?

I will take the USGS as a source over any of the others, any day.  The article I posted coontained data from the USGS, and nothing posted, yet, would reverse the fact that Nat'l Wildlife put the bears on the endangered species list, a very reckless move in the face of overwhelming stupidity, er, ah, I mean proof that global warming is a hoax.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, because I see it all the time, but I don't understand why someone reads something which is clearly an opinion of what someone else researched, discovered, what-have-you, and doesn't research that person and find out exactly what they said and form their own opinion.

One of the things that I think should tip people off is when the articles on a site contain adjectives such as "hysterical" and "alarmist" which are meant to simply persuade and not inform.

Because they aren't looking for information from which to form an objective opinion; they're intentionally looking only for information that will support the opinion they already have which was probably fed to them by Rush Limbaugh.

I do not watch Rush in fact I don't even like him.  One thing I find quite odd it the fact that I am finding a lot of removed pages when I do run across something that would back up what I'm saying.  Doesn't it seem kind of strange that a lot of opposing information has just disappeared and replaced with page can not be found or page removed messages.

And you're going to use an article from a newspaper that comes from a country where the leader poisons people who oppose him?  Give me a break.
