China's latest growth industry. Their project to destroy HFC 23, the
ozone depleting waste product in refrigerant gas has spawned a
money-spinning carbon credit industry and has resulted in an increase in the
gas.
In addition, in developing countries emissions of those gases have been deliberately increased, so as to destroy the gas
and claim more carbon credits. This scheme is a major cause of the
increase in the gas and now risks undoing recent repair to the ozone
layer.

The extremists committed to the man-made global warming theory�that humans are causing the world to get hotter and that we have to drastically raise taxes and/or ration energy in response�are on the run. How else does one explain the sensational Newsweek cover story with the provocative headline, "Global Warming is a Hoax,*" over a photo of a boiling sun?

Newsweek, a Washington Post property, claims to be telling us "The Truth About Denial," and to make sure everyone gets the point, it uses some form of the word "denial" 20 times, including "denial machine" 14 times.

The article, which is the worst kind of advocacy journalism, is a shoddy attempt to suggest that those opposed to the theory are like holocaust deniers.

The asterisk in the Newsweek headline leads to a smaller note connecting the "hoax" charge to "well-funded naysayers who still reject the overwhelming evidence of climate change." Newsweek tells its readers that its cover story is about "the denial machine"�those against the theory.

The Newsweek story is misleading, even false, in another key aspect.
Senate staffer Marc Morano, a long-time conservative journalist and
activist, points out that while those skeptical of the man-made global
warming theory have received some $19 million, the forces favored by
Newsweek have taken in closer to $50 billion, much of it from American
taxpayers and channeled through federal and global agencies. This
figure, of course, doesn't include the dollar value of all of the media
coverage in support of the theory.

That's $50 billion versus $19 million.
