Climate Change Deniers Herald the Melt on Mars

(Facetious) Congratulations to National Geographic  for having turned up another apparently credible climate change denier tucked in a far corner of the world.

Admittedly, NatGeo reports that Russian astronomer Habibullo Abdussamatov is โ€œcompletely at odds with the mainstream scientific opinionโ€ when he argues that a recent melting on Martian icecaps proves that global warming is caused by the sunโ€™s rays. But Abdusssamatov gets the headline, while the overwhelming majority of credible astronomers are relegated to the second page of the NatGeo website.

It is yet another example of the mediaโ€™s preoccupation with lonely (sometimes looney) voices. No wonder the public remains convinced that the scientific community is still locked in a legitimate debate over climate change. When a journalistic institution like National Geographic is this careless in presenting the science, how can casual observers hope to make informed conclusions?
