Magazine attacks Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch and 15 other ‘polluters and deniers.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Even popular liberals can come under fire from the media if they offer heretical views on global warming, which many in the media promote with near-religious fervor.<\/p>\n

.\u201d Topping the list was Berkshire Hathaway CEO, Obama supporter and media darling Warren Buffett<\/a>The magazine criticized Buffett for \u201cdoing far more than bad-mouthing climate legislation \u2013 he\u2019s literally banking on its failure\u201d by adding 1.28 million shares of ExxonMobil to his books and acquiring a railroad that hauls coal. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Rolling Stone editor Eric Bates also told MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201d that Buffett \u201ctrashed climate change legislation calling it a huge tax saying it will cost jobs.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n


<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not even news, CBSNews.com reported in September that the Obama administration said cap and trade \u201cwould cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year.\u201d<\/a> But Obama dudn\u2019t make the list of Climate Killers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Heritage Foundation estimated that capping carbon would act as an energy tax of nearly $2,000<\/a> on every American household. Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise Institute has said \u201cit would destroy tens of millions of good-paying jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Also on the Rolling Stone list were a number of predictable targets for left-wing vitriol, from News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch<\/a> and ExxonMobil\u2019s Rex Tillerson to Sen. James Inhofe and retired physicist Fred Singer. Each was given a nasty moniker like \u201cthe Fake Protestor\u201d or \u201cThe Know Nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

With this sidebar to its \u201cAs the World Burns\u201d cover story, Rolling Stone continued its one-sided crusade to stop global warming. On Nov. 11, 2009 writer Naomi Klein<\/a> made the case for climate reparations<\/a> in the magazine. Back in 2007, Rolling Stone was entertaining predictions from climate extremist James Lovelock (founder of the Gaia theory) who said that by 2100 global warming will kill 6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Business & Media Institute has documented how a number of media outlets favor global warming alarmism rather than including other viewpoints in new reports. For every dissenter appearing on the networks, there were 13 alarmists<\/a> airing their views. By censoring the global warming debate, the news media often leave viewers with the impression that the \u201cscience is settled.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Those same networks ignored the November 2009 climate e-mail <\/a>scandal \u201cClimateGate<\/a>\u201d for two weeks despite the looming climate conference in Copenhagen<\/st1:city>, Denmark<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>.<\/p>\n
