My Russian friends told me that, in Soviet times, they didn't believe their newspapers but they had no other sources of information. In our times, we believe our newspapers even though we have plenty of other sources of information (see "the arctic ice disaster" and "the beauty of propaganda")

"The Pause?". .
.Man that's a good one! Why would one in the scientific community go to
the world with that kind of excuse? Oh I know, Like the time your grade
school teacher asked you for your homework and your response was that
your dog ate it. "Global Warming!" . . . shouted from the hilltops and
billions wasted on a hypothesis that is traveling the digestive track of
poor "Fido" only to later realize the truth of the matter finding
itself in the proverbial front yard as a big pile of steaming poo! Now
is the time for you to blame the dog again by trying to rub his nose in
it. Looks like the evidence is stacked up against you by 60% ! HAHAHA
Don't worry, one day your grand children will be able to look back on
this and laugh at you !
