Google's Eric Schmidt Blasts 'Liars' Who Refuse to Believe Man-made Global Warming

by Matthew Sheffield

In a bizarre speech, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt blasted the news media, saying reporters "don't believe in facts" when it comes to their coverage of the discussion over whether or not humans are increasing the Earth's temperature.

But Schmidt was not talking about the fact that the Earth's median temperature has not increased in over 10 years or that the Earth has experienced ice ages when the atmospheric CO2 content was 5 times its current amount. Instead, the top Obama adviser and big-time donor was ranting against "liars" who do not believe in anthropogenic global warming.

Because a sufficient number of people do not buy into the climate hype, this creates inaction on the part of government since, Schmidt alleged, according to a report in the technology blog The Verge.

"The media gets confused because they don't believe in facts, and public policy people get confused because they don't believe in innovation," the former Google CEO is quoted as saying at an event his company sponsored called "How Green is the Internet?"

We'll agree in the generic with both of those statements, it would appear that Schmidt sees some sort of conspiracy to prevent people from knowing the "truth" as he sees it. Such a conspiracy cannot last long, however, according to the top-dollar Obama donor:

"You can hold back knowledge, you cannot prevent it from spreading. You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."

Assuming the linked report above is an accurate portrayal of the event, it would appear that Schmidt, who is famous for his love of data, has clearly not seen the evidence. As NewsBusters has reported for years, the American news media cannot in any way be construed as anything but biased in favor of climate alarmists.
