One graph says it all, especially after I annotated it for climate news spike events.

Note that WUWT was at the source/center of two spikes: Climategate and the IPCC AR5 leak. Always happy to help.
One skit from SNL will deflate this BS faster than anything .Can you imagine Gore. Hanson And Mann jumping to a skipping rope shouting the science is settled the science is settled in snow gear.Most media will quietly move on and a few will take a parting shot for being duped though they won’t admit it. Earnest people want to believe and they were preyed on as they always have been by BS artists who understand and exploit that human condition.about needing to have something to worry about .They got served a beauty by the AGW billion $ industry . T shirts are 2 for 1 now and pretty soon the wagon will roll out of town. The question is what will replace it. War works well so maybe that will get things going .

“Is this the media pause before coverage starts to switch the other way?”
LOL I can’t stop laughing.
I guess we can dream that our media isn’t out for the all mighty buck and trying to report the news.
