Drudge is pushing a story
claiming that the “world’s top climate scientists have cut their worst-case forecast for global warming over the next 100 years.” The reporter actually misinterpreted the data. ClimateProgress has the debunk.

Drudge….what an asshat.
September 5th, 2006 at 12:14 pmReputable scholars predict the Drudge Report will be extinct, along with the majority party in congress, by the year 2008.
September 5th, 2006 at 12:15 pmDrudge is full of sludge, so who cares what the GOP freak claims!
September 5th, 2006 at 12:26 pmI thought they were posting a story but thats what they do here at TP. You know twist things and use deception.
September 5th, 2006 at 12:38 pm#6, Ben you seem to gravitate where you’re not needed or wanted.
September 5th, 2006 at 2:25 pmIs this symptomatic of your life in general?
Global warming is the single most important issue facing the planet.
Yes, that’s right, bigger than W’s War on Terra’, bigger than the ‘06 elections and bigger than you.
When Corporate Monopolies don’t want the truth, they pay people to do everything possible to hide it. Just like your President does with information. It’s TP’s job, (and ours), to uncover the truth and let Americans know. Is that bad? Or don’t you like it because it doesn’t fit your agenda? Grow some balls, Ben. Face it, you’ve been lied to for years. You have time to find the truth. This is a good place to start. But you have to be open to new facts, not just talking points running out of Ken Mehlman’s ass.
Hey, would you believe that the reporter’s previous job was PR for the coal industry?
September 5th, 2006 at 3:42 pmI thought that was a legitimate, intelligent post and then I realized it was just Ben.

September 5th, 2006 at 9:33 pmCome on! It’s Drudge.
Even idiots and morons don’t want to be associated with him.
September 5th, 2006 at 10:45 pmI mean, Jason M. Hendler isn’t even here. What does that tell you?
September 5th, 2006 at 10:46 pmIf Drudge reported that today he did it a week after the rest of the world’s news media did.
Trying a little bit of spin of your own here TP by suggesting this was just one conservative media outlet reporting this ?
Hoping nobody would wonder why when the story was this widely published that a single anonymous blog is where you had to source the “debunk” for this rather than just some accredited scientist who reads newspapers ?
September 5th, 2006 at 10:57 pm[...] The Oz has even attracted international attention. As Crikey reports, the Scientific American has slammed it, while the reliably silly Arts and Letters Daily gives a favorable link, as does Matt Drudge. For a comprehensive demolition, you can’t go past Real Climate. [...]
September 6th, 2006 at 4:15 am[...] Warren’s misleading take was picked up by Reuters and UPI and then made it into the right-wing blogosphere, being reproduced not only by reliably silly sites like Arts and Letters Daily and Matt Drudge but by people who should know better, like Dan Drezner. [...]
