Wiener of the Week

This week's WotW is a no-brainer. As in, this tool has no brain.

What follows is the first two paragraphs of a "news" story by Seth Borenstein of the AP.

When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. Now it is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid.

Since Clinton's inauguration, summer Arctic sea ice has lost the equivalent of Alaska, California and Texas. The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's second inauguration. Global warming is accelerating. Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.
Did you catch the hysteria? Did you catch the "true believer" quoting of provably false statements concerning the mythical loss of sea ice, the '10 hottest years' (this year is the coldest on record in quite some time), and the 'acceleration' of warming (which, this winter at least, would be most welcome).

That a "news" reporter would spew The Religion of Global Warming doctrine as fact is deplorable. That an alleged "news" organization like the AP would publish it is criminal. How long are we to endure this asinine propaganda campaign? How friggin' long!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Seth Borenstein and the AP, you're the Wiener's of the Week.
