Awoke today to see this article on Yahoo...
The article is typical for AP, a vacuous piece that says a lot but does little to inform people. Instead it sets up an us vs. them with the Democrats and Republicans. But what caught my eye was the picture AP chose to link to, a file photo which when clicked on displays this caption:
In this July 10, 2007 file photos, the coal-fired Plant Schereris in operation at Juliette, Ga. Plant Scherer has for several years been the nation's single largest source of carbon dioxide, which most scientists believe contributes to global warming. The economic cost of confronting global warming - from higher electricity bills to more expensive gasoline - is driving the debate as climate change takes center stage in Congress. The Senate begins considering legislation Monday that for the first time would mandate a reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from power plants, refineries, factories and transportation, in hopes of cutting heat-trapping pollution by two-thirds by mid-century.
Now the reason the photo caught my eye was the picture of the plant "in operation" show two giant smoke stacks in the background with no visible emissions. Instead the picture is focused on the four cooling towers which are spewing out water vapor.
Once again, when trying to convince people that A) global warming exists, and B) how horrible it is the global warming cultists have to use subterfuge to get their point across. Why don't they just use scientific fact instead of transparently false propaganda?
