If you're at all familiar with the Las Vegas Review-Journal--essentially, the only daily paper in town--you'll know that it's a right-wing extremist rag, featuring distorted headlines and "opinion" columnists such as the unapologetic white supremacist Victor Joecks and the fawning Trump lackey Wayne Allen Root. Even the letters to the editor that are published carry about a 4:1 Trumper slant.
They really went off the rails today, though. They published an "opinion of the editors" piece reporting that the Obamas were going to purchase a house on Martha's Vineyard. They said that that proves that climate change is a liberal hoax designed to enable the Democrats to take over American government.
The "logic"? Climate change is supposed to result in rising ocean levels. Therefore, anyone believing in climate change wouldn't want to live on an island. Therefore, Obama must not really believe in it.
This is absolutely, breathtakingly stupid, but I'll bet our resident Trumpers will chime in in agreement with it. And of course, over two years after he left office, "conservs" are still bleeding from all orifices at the fact that a no-good darky was running the country for eight years.
The RJ is a newspaper that publishes opinions in their opinion section. Wow! How dare they do that? I have a friend who is a reporter at the RJ. He does not insert his political opinions into his articles. He knows that stuff belongs in the opinion section, not in regular news articles. His colleagues know this too.
In 2008, man-made global warming alarmists were saying coastal areas would be under water by 2015. When their predictions are proven false by the passage of time, they just change the datelines. Al Gore was predicting that arctic ice would be completely gone during the summer by 2013 or 2014. That is the kind of "settled science" that the alarmists tout on a regular basis.
