Cold Natural, Warm Not

August 4, 2009 By jennifer

The New York Times reports that the record cold of 2009 is due to natural variations and even warned skeptics of man-made global warming not to be “buoyed” by the brutal cold.  Read more here.

    The New York Times…that bastion of free speech.

    I was just reading a story of Hiroshima and Nagasaki last night. George Weller, a correspondent, was the first western correspondent into Nagasaki, and he interviewed Japanese doctors who were baffled about a new sickness experienced by victims of the blast. It was radiation poisoning, of course, and Weller tried to send out stories to that effect, only to have them stifled by MacArthur. Had it not been for an Aussie correspondent, Wilfred Burchett, covering Hiroshima, we might never have heard about radiation sickness.

    The New York Times had a correspondent, Lawrence, who was privy to the nuclear testing on the Manhatten Project. He also got into Japan, to see the desecration, but he took the opposite tack, blaming the ‘rumour’ of radiation sickness on Japanese propaganda. The New York Times kept up that charade for 5 years.

    They probably would never have acknowledged the dangers of radiation had it not been for Linus Pauling. The US government was spreading the story that radiation was completely safe but Pauling, an expert in chemistry, claimed the opposite. He finally won over people in the US by telling them it would harm unborn babies and living persons. The US government was furious with Pauling and branded him a communist.

    Here we are 60 years alter and the New York Times is still spreading misinformation, and/or suppressing the truth.

    As time goes on, more records will be broken, either way. That is inevitable. An analysis done on the records had the highs leading the lows about 2 to 1.

    “An analysis done on the records had the highs leading the lows about 2 to 1.”

    Care to give us a ref to that?

    I think the NYT is just going through the motions by this time.
    Even they know, in the hearts, that they are jsut selling offal.
