From today's Wall Street Journal:
Initially, one might imagine that weather patterns would be a topic that evolution publications could cover without emotional bias. But that would be naive, no?
Excerpts from that WSJ article:
My friend and government scientist Ed Holroyd is one of the 9,000 Ph.Ds who have signed the anti-global warming petition (along with 22,000 other U.S. scientists). If you search you'll find Ed's name listed there (and... don't spread this around but... he was on ARTL's site selection committe for the world's largest... well... it's a secret).
Weather or Whether? If Nature and Science can't even be intellectually fair to 54 noted physicists about the weather, of all things, what makes our evolutionist friends here at TOL doubt the intense opportunity for bias among professional Darwinist journalists about something as far-reaching as whether there is evidence that we were recently created?

WSJ said:A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that [global warming] science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists' open letter.)

Excerpts from that WSJ article:
The Climate Change Climate Change
The number of skeptics is swelling everywhere.
Poland: the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming.
Czech Republic: In the Czech Republic, where President Vaclav Klaus remains a leading skeptic, today only 11% of the population believes humans play a role.
France: President Nicolas Sarkozy wants Claude Allegre to lead the country's new ministry of industry [in part because the global warming alarmist] geochemist has since recanted.
New Zealand: last year elected a new government, which immediately suspended the country's weeks-old cap-and-trade program.
Japan: Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history."
Norway: Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries global warming as the "new religion."
Australia: the Parliament is preparing to kill its own country's carbon-emissions scheme.
America: Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief.
And a group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists' open letter.)
