[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 126842, member: 195"] [USER=323]@cyptomcat[/USER] I think your response missed the point. I don't think that author, or the links, would deny that a parsing of the information in the press release could be defended. As I read it, the main point of the op-ed was that the press-release was a contribution to a propaganda campaign. Propaganda need not be lies. It can be the intentional spinning and biasing of data to affect public opinion. Why are science agencies putting out press-releases saying "warmest year" if they mean a good chance its warmest by 2 hundredth of a degree C if we don't look at satellite data? That's not a science headline. It's a political headline released just in time for the President to use it for his agenda in the State of the Union. [/QUOTE]
