Why has Fox News coverage of global warming become reasonable?

Scientists criticizing Gore:
“Current scientific consensus holds that human industrial activity has sharply increased the amounts of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere, and that average temperatures worldwide will rise for at least the next century — but at a much more gradual rate than that depicted in “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Warming on Mars:
“While evidence suggests fluctuations in solar activity can affect climate on Earth, and that it has done so in the past, the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth, which seems to be mostly a mess created by our own species.”

Look at “Climate Change” here. No denial stories.

What can science do to convince people that global warming by human activity is not significant?

There is a great deal of hype from some who claim to be environmentalists about human effects on global warming. A few years ago the same community was raising money to fight global cooling. Few of the scientists who preach human guilt over global warming are climatologists. Those who are are not at all in agreement over the level of human contribution. Astronomers, geophysicists and others point to very large scale and time scale activity involved in past earth climate changes. There is great suspicion that the current enviro-science monologue is largely induced by socio-political agendas and not hard science. However, the voices of hard science opposed to the correct enviro-speak agenda are seldom heard. Is their voice shuffled to the back pages to make room for the dire news on the front page? What books andresearch work with a level-headed view can be presented? The wrong conclusion will lead to economic, health and political distress worldwide due to misallocated funds.
