So, if one scientist says something offhand, and in this case with no time reference (did the scientist mean ten years, or, as seems equally likely, a hundred years?), the media has a profit motive to distort whatever is said into a sensationalistic headline.

If there is a "global warming industry", it's profit model is based on advertising, because it is pushed by the media.

You need to look at the actual science publications to get any real information on this subject.

Media links just tell us what the media, with a profit motive, wants us to think - and they will happily play both sides of the street, and happily distort the science, if it plays on peoples fears and prejudices and brings eyeballs to advertisements.

It's foolish to trust the media on anything.
