Had to pass this on:

Recently, Fox News pushed a Daily Mail story about global warming that was full of falsehoods, half-facts, and bad science. The title? "Could we be in for 30 years of global cooling?" The expert it was supposedly based on? Dr. Mojib Latif of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Except ... it wasn't true. Dr. Latif never said the things attributed to them, and he certainly isn't a climate-change denier. In fact, he states repeatedly that rapid warming is all-but-inevitable over the next two decades.

Here's the quote, though, that just perfectly captures Fox News:

Pretty dead-on accurate, don't you think? In fact, I think that would make a great tagline for the national Fox News Network:
