I read two of them. One link didn't work. To be honest, the article from
First Things (which I generally like) read to me like it was from
The Onion. And with Fox I consider the source (just as I would with MSNBC or numerous other outlets).
I don't think the conclusion you've drawn is at all clear unless you want to find it there. It's just way too broad a characterization to say that what's reported in those articles shows that global warming is a farce. It's kind of the equivalent of exposing some Bible scholars -- put them at the Vatican or at Oxford, if you like -- who are trying to hide "real facts" and saying that you've exposed the Bible or Judaism or Christianity as a farce or hoax. Sort of a Dan Brown approach.
Maybe this points to something bigger, or maybe it's nothing more than some (allegedly) unethical scientists who are still nevetheless right about global warming, despite their lack of ethics.
It's the sensationalism of headlines like "farce exposed" that make me think thoughtful comments are not necessary because only reflexive comments are sought.
