A Tiny Slice of Time

The Washington Post unquestioningly reports the global warming assertions of the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group. Clearly not a group with a vested interest in promoting the global warming theories that are the reason for its very existence and all of its funding.

This November is already the wettest November in Seattle's history, after 11.64 inches of rain. With nearly two weeks remaining in what is historically the city's wettest month, November 2006 seems certain to become the single rainiest month on record. (emphasis added)

Not once does the Post point out that Seattle was first settled in November of 1851. They display absolutely no curiosity about what rainfall might have been in the area in November of 1850 or 1750 or any random November in the previous several hundred million years. Nor do they seem willing to point out the reality of the "record" to their readers so that they might ask the question.

Better to report that the sky is falling.
