If you live in Canada, you are familiar with CBC personality, Rex Murphy. Often he is entertaining, if just a wee bit full of himself. Rex has been loudly and regularly dismissing the climate science that points to global warming and does so in the Globe and Mail as well as on CBC TV in a prime spot as part of the CBC National news program.

Rex Murphy makes cleverly worded, articulate, well-honed proclamations, trashing all of this foolishness about climate change, foolishness coming from actual climate scientists. Rex is not a scientist. He is a professional Rex Murphy. Seriously, he is a brand of sarcasm, wit and entertainment.

I have no idea of his motivation other than the fact that his gig is to produce opinions. Mind you, Mr. Murphy seems to be snarlier than normal (for him) about the climate change issue. As usual he seems to want you to think his opinions are good enough for you to have, or else you are stupid.

However, as we all know, thinking for one's self is a better idea. All we are saaaaayingggg is think for yourself. Catchy, non?

Rex says a number of things in the following video. One of these is that the raw data used by the East Anglia climate scientists has gone missing. Funny that they have said they will release all of their raw data once permissions are secured. This video of Rex in action is below. It is followed by a second video showing another way to approach the stolen email situation. I encourage you to watch both.

Here's an opinion: Allowing Rex to have any influence upon your thinking is a serious error in judgement. If you've made this error, you may not consider it to be one. I suggest that you at least ask if it might be. For me, Rex Murphy is the Don Cherry of the news world, a cartoon, if you will.

The second video is from an individual calling himself "potholer54". It doesn't really matter who he is because he advocates for critical thinking and he demonstrates how to think critically using a couple of the more popular stolen emails, popular among the hysterical climate change denying set that is. He asks you to think for yourself and to check the facts of what he has offered.

Just three days before the Copenhagen Summit, CBC gave more time to this Rex Murphy diatribe than to a real climate scientist speaking about the incredibly fast disappearance of Western Arctic multi-year ice. Bias? You think?
