Why do they have to do that?

"Methane fireballs tear across the sky"Believe it or not, that is a quote from the Independent, not about the sequel to The Day After Tomorrow but about the latest IPCC Summary for Policymakers. Rabett Run has more. That is even more ridiculous than "global warming is a socialist hoax".Why do they have to say things like that? It makes James Inhofe sound reasonable. And that's no small feat!
