Cyclical doom

"I was pleased to read in your column that others are discovering that the media hype over 'global warming' is nothing new," writes Scot Christenson, director of communications for the Business & Media Institute.

He was responding to our item yesterday about a Page 2 headline discovered in the Nov. 2, 1922, edition of The Washington Post: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt." The newspaper told how "great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."

Mr. Christenson took the opportunity to forward an institute study outlining how the media, including the New York Times, Newsweek and Time, have warned about impending climate doom four different times in the past 100 years.

"It would appear that media hype is as cyclical as the climate," he concludes.
