Any good youtube channels to share as well?

I coordinated the first three together, because they are friends and collaborate on a lot of different projects, and podcasts series. (video & audio)

I would also recommend this documentary on youtube to find out WHO these people are. Spoiler: RICHARD GROVE: AIG INSIDER & WHISTLEBLOWER TELLS ALL!

LOL at this conservative rag.

DRUDGE REPORT 2011® LDFO

Solid.

I can't be sure, but I may have mixed those up.

[Penneywize]

LOL. Yeah drudge does have a conservative slant, but the thing to keep in mind is all it does is link news stories from around the world. And I really get the impression that we're not getting 1-sided BS from this site, you generally see a decent mix of stories that can be construed as being useful to the arguments of either side of the political spectrum

for example, the recent heatwave had headlines all over drudge, with postings about record temperatures etc. like this past july had seen heat records in all 50 states at one point or another. but then you'll see an article that states that a new NASA study shows that carbon emissions are not trapping heat the way alarmist anthropogenic global warming models had predicted:

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism - Yahoo! News

you'll note that this article is from news.yahoo.com, so it's kind of hard to say it's just some climate skeptic / right wing smear op

Sorry dude but that article is garbage. It pulled one thing way out of context then imposed a false conclusion. Not to mention that it uses rhetoric of somebody who either doesn't know what he's talking about or is pushing an agenda.

Regardless, we don't even need additional observational evidence on the issue of global warming. The geophysics of the matter are already determined. On what planet to people think they can open up the wells of greenhouse gases at a quicker rate than previous geologic episodes yet not experience similar climate to those episodes?

Then you won't mind some moar balance!

Though, it's good to see that the article links easily to the actual paper it's discussing.
