In the latest example of alarmist yellow journalism, ABC News has called on the public to send in their “global warming stories,” no we are not kidding. Anyone who submits a story citing how they have been directly impacted by global warming is a liar, pure and simple. No one on this planet (unless they are a research scientist) can legitimately claim that they have been directly impacted by a average 1 degree change in temperature over the past century.
We want to hear and see your stories. Have you noticed changes in your own backyard or hometown? The differences can be large or small — altered blooming schedules, unusual animals that have arrived in your community, higher water levels encroaching on your property.-ABC News
None of the examples ABC cites as global warming impact are actually examples of such, but merely examples of life on Earth since the dawn of time. Practically anyone from Ancient China to Medieval Europe to Modern America could make reference to such examples…nonetheless look for a great deal of alarmist muckraking when this Seinfeld-esque story (a story about nothing) airs later this year.
