Here's a link to the actual story. It is in Popular Mechanics
magazine:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/earth/4323558.html
From the article:
"A leading climate scientist argues that overbroad claims by some
researchers�coupled with overblown reporting in the media�can
undermine the public's understanding of climate issues. Gavin
Schmidt, a NASA climate modeler, author and PM editorial advisor,
concurs with the consensus view that the planet's temperature is
rising due largely to human activity. But, he says, many news
stories prematurely attribute local or regional phenomena to
climate change. This can lead to the dissemination of vague,
out-of-context or flat-wrong information to the public.
""People think that if there's a trend, it has to be connected to
this bigger trend," he says. "You often get this kind of jumping
the gun." Sometimes researchers are citing a potential connection
to global warming to get noticed, he says, and sometimes
journalists are focusing on that connection to make the story
more compelling. "There's a bit of a backlash amid people who
have a brain," says Schmidt. "It's akin to [the media's reporting
on] medical studies. It adds to people's confusion.""

When Tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
And hear their death-knell ringing;
When friends rejoice, both far and near,
How can I keep from singing.

Asking Gavin Schidt for his opinion on overhyped climate studies is
like asking Bernie Madoff his opinion on the AIG, Lehman, etc.
banking fiasco.

some of the problems as press releases
from the scientists themselves.

Roger when will we hear a reply to my post
about Atmospheric Circulation.
Or for that matter we will get a proper reply my experiments
showing that insulation of Greenhouse gas experiments
shows that CO2 warms at the same rate as air.
You cannot depend on Ouroborous rex ravings at this
time.

In real science the burden of proof is always on
the proposer, never on the sceptics. So far
neither IPCC nor anyone else has provided one
iota of valid data for global warming nor have
they provided data that climate change is being
effected by commerce and industry, and not by
natural phenomena.
