What really bothered me is that James Martin outright lied and nobody at CBS pointed this out or felt that viewers needed to be exposed to the truth. James Martin was right when he said there were missing "millions" of ice in the Arctic but he got his units wrong, he said "million square miles" but it is "million square kilometers". This error means he is off by a factor of 9/25, i.e. 64% less than what he stated. Consequently his claims were all wrong. He said the "missing" ice was the size of Alaska, Texas, and California combined:
- Alaska 591,004 sq mi 1,530,699 sq km
- Texas 266,807 sq mi 691,030 sq km
- California 155,959 sq mi 403,934 sq km

As well, James Martin talked about "huge chunks" of Antactica breaking off and melting. That's true, but that is simply the annual melt! Nothing unusual about that. In fact, the media has been caught using the very same photo in different years to "prove" that great chunks of ice are collapsing and disappearing... the very same photo. Nobody in the media bothers to check the truth of these tales they retail to a gullible public. You can see the details of this hoax on a posting on the Watt's Up With That web site.
Here is Antarctica. Do you see a "loss of ice" here? I sure don't!

The fact that a major news media like CBS airs falsehoods (while it restricts coverage to the Hadley CRU e-mails to a brief mention despite the fact that this is a clear scientific fraud perpetrated by those who have a political "global warming" agenda) means that the public is mis-informed. It is disgraceful that the media caters to these noisy special interest groups who are propagandizing an essentially political point of view, and a misinformed political point of view!
I don't mind CBS reporting "news" about the message of a political group but the obligation of the media is to put this group's "message" into context and, in this case, show that the claims are false! CBS has utterly failed in its responsibilities.
