Another Climate-Change Retraction

jamie writes "It seems every time someone twists global-warming science into 'good news,' a retraction is soon to follow, and so it must be for Slashdot. Yesterday, the conservative Wall Street Journal published yet another apologetic claiming 'the overall effect of climate change will be positive,' by someone who (of course) is not a climate scientist. Today, Climate Progress debunks the piece, noting 'Ridley and the WSJ cite the University of Illinois paper to supposedly prove that warming this century will be under 2C — when the author has already explained to them that his research shows the exact opposite!' We went through this same process last year, with the same author and the same paper, so it's pretty embarrassing that he 'makes a nearly identical blunder' all over again."

Bottom line to the Bottom line: The Media that broadcast his fraudulent shit loud and clear, again, timed perfectly with the man made Colorado disaster are complicit/implicated. We all know to ignore the trolls - shouldn't Slashdot editors have known better to post a story from troll researches with antecedents right here on /.? Lie to me once, shame on you... lie to me twice...
