I'd like to congratulate the National Post on their fantastic "parody issue", published today (2002.08.26). Here's a few of the sure-to-be-classics:

• A half page set of pictures, courtesy of Greenpeace, of the melting "Blomstrandbreen" glacier in Svalbard, Norway. Greenpeace claims this is due to something called "global warming" and claims most of this melting happened in the last 40 years. There's only one problem -- it's absolute BS. From the Daily Telegraph: But Prof Ole Humlum, a leading glaciologist in Svalbard, 500 miles north of Norway, said yesterday: "That glacier had already disappeared in the early 1920s as a result of a perfectly natural rise in temperature that had nothing to do with man-made global warming".
• In this article, putting "scare quotes" around the word "progress", turning what was supposedly a news article into an editorial. You can tell it's pure humor though, as the staff didn't put their names to the article, and they used Reuters as a news source. Brilliant!
• In the same article, cleverly phrasing a paragraph to put words in the mouth of George Bush. Implying that Bush said he'd rather go to his ranch on vacation that go the Earth Summit is pure Toronto Star! Here's the paragraph: The summit lost much of its gusto when the most powerful man on the planet, George W. Bush, the U.S. President, announced he would skip the event, preferring to continue his August vacation at his Texas ranch. I've been googling around and can't find any quote even vaguely matching this statement.

Once again, great work! You almost had us all fooled.
