Two headlines placing blame for global warming were featured on different news sites today. One, managed to blame the "fatties" and the other, blamed the malnourished.
The Sun featured a story, "Fatties cause global warming" - which Drudge stuck at the front, top of his site yesterday. I'm sure it's because the article managed to get the word "fatties" in the headline, but that's besides the point.
Across the pond, NYT featured an article, "Third World Stove Soot is Target in Climate Fight", arguing that the process of cooking family dinner in developing countries is causing the glaciers to melt.
Of course, it's not uncommon to read an article concerning global warming in mainstream media today. It's just getting a little frustrating to read about the variety of causes instead of the variety of solutions. How about more articles explaining what the heck all of the little numbers on the bottom of recyclable bottles mean. Or, how to compost in your own area. Or maybe, how to combat your own carbon footprint. At the risk of turning every mainstream medium into a raging environmentalist, some more articles including researchers and their helpful hints would be - well, helpful.
