Michaels wants the balance balanced 1

Oh man, this is too hilarious:

It seems that [notorious climate skeptic Pat] Michaels called [CNN Friday's Peter] Dykstra to complain that the network doesn't do enough to bring out the side of those who question the thesis that human industrial and transportation activity is warming the globe. Dykstra politely disagreed, but he was curious. So he took the time to look up all of the network's pieces on the topic.

The expert CNN quoted most? Dr. Patrick Michaels. By a factor of two.

A dash of persecution complex really gives the ignorance a nice flavor, doesn't it?

    Nice and balanced...pleaseSo what if all TV, radio and press articles were balanced according to the number of reputable scientists who supported each point of view? Climate Change Caused By Humans = 1000, Climate Change Debunked = 1.
    That's more like it.
