What ever happened to Global Warming?

A year or so ago, most newspapers were warning the public about global warming with lengthy articles, diagrams and predictions. They painted up a pretty scary picture, now you would have to pretty much search the online versions, archive section to find articles on it. What happened to global warming, did it go out for a spot of cool air or was it just like most news becomes, old, and obsolete. The theories concerning the gravity of it seemed to encompass the whole spectrum of 'people be warned, the end could be near, to, eh whatever. Which is fair enough, who knows what the world can take of our polluting it.

The worst thing though is this scare mongering by the papers and then nothing. This to me is particularly serious due to the following. One, what does it say about the threat of global warming? either it's a threat or not, it doesn't disappear over night. Secondly, at the time of the cover to cover articles about global warming, the newspapers advertised holiday flights on a daily basis, and still do. The travel agencies even have their own section. I mean logically, how could the newspapers be broadcasting global warming as a massive threat and at the same time advertise ways that are known to make it dramatically worse? One scary question is, do the newspapers receive a substantial proportion of their revenue by allowing travel agencies to advertise in their papers, and they can't afford not to have their adverts? If this rhetoric would be accurate, it is a pretty large warning concerning the newspapers claim of objectivity and truth, at least on this matter. Moreover, it would really be a tragic example of how much a newspaper which is meant to inform the people with unbiased information, may be steered by heavy industrial influences.
