No Tricks Zone has a roundup of German and Danish mainstream media climate coverage in which – in the middle of a 100 year winter – the dubious nature of the IPCC endorsed “science” is explored.

The Economist, bastion of all things warm, green and very fuzzy, is moved to notice that the sensitivity of temperature to CO2 may be a bit less than catastrophic.

While the wheels began falling off the CAGW bus back in 2008 the fact is that the mainstream media were far too committed to the cause to actually report the evolution of climate thinking. Five nasty winters in a row in Europe has, apparently, made it possible for a few media outlets to climb out of the tank.

It’s a start.
