Unlike Holthaus, the mainstream media published stories that merely exaggerated the paper’s findings from science into revelation.

Warmist Eric Holthaus claims you get to decide how fast ice melts: "It's still up to us to decide if that ice takes 500 years to melt, or 50. We are in a climate emergency."
See this from alarmist Eric Holthaus (a writer at Grist). It has 8k retweets and 16 likes, and was featured in Naked Capitalism’s daily links. Holthaus re-tweets climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf’s exaggeration of the study’s results, and further exaggerates them into fiction. The new study says none of the things Holthaus describes. Fifty years to melt Antarctica?
Warmist Eric Holthaus: "A new study confirms that global warming has triggered an irreversible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will alone raise global sea levels by 10 feet. It's still up to us to decide if that ice takes 500 years to melt, or 50. We are in a climate emergency."
Warmist Stefan Rahmstorf: "The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting and has probably passed the tipping point to its complete demise, causing a long-term sea-level rise of 3 meters. But is that our fault?"
- Study in Journal Nature tries to ‘blacklist’ skeptics – Ranks Climate Depot’s Morano as NUMBER ONE ‘climate contrarian’ in the media! (#1 out of 386 skeptics)
Fellow Skeptic Steven Hayward of the Powerline Blog wrote: "Marc Morano is number one" and added: “Morano is truly the Pete Rose and Hank Aaron of climate contrarians."
Warmist Randy Olson commented on the study: "Does climate community realize Marc Morano is most prolific voice of skepticism by a looooong way? He has 35% more articles than any others. There should be an Institute for the Study of Morano."
Olson added: "In 2007, I had climate “contrarian” Marc Morano in my movie "Sizzle", In 2010, I warned of his media savvy, today he is a Fox News regular & most prolific skeptic in this new article."
Skeptic Jo Nova comments: "Marc Morano tops the Nature blacklist, and no man deserves it more. Congratulations Marc!"
Newsweek Mag. also reported on the new study and featured Climate Depot prominently.
CFACT's Craig Rucker: "While the study’s goal is severely off base, it nonetheless produced two mathematical rankings CFACT is more than a little tickled by. According to a ranking of how often “contrarians,” as the study labels us, are cited in the media, CFACT’s Marc Morano is far and away the world’s most effective climate communicator."

The journal Nature Communications study: "Prominent climate change contrarians (CCCs) and scientists (CCSs) in the media...In the new research, Petersen and colleagues looked at 386 prominent climate deniers and 386 climate scientists. They looked at 200,000 scientific journals and 100,000 media articles—from both traditional and new formats.
CFACT excerpt: Marc Morano is number one, with 4,171 media references, nearly double Senator James Inhofe’s 2,628 and Secretary Rick Perry’s 1,903. Marc appeared in many multiples of media references compared to anyone else as you proceed down the rankings.

Eggplant, celery and cucumbers look particularly bad when compared to pork or chicken.’
Climate Depot's Marc Morano comments: The war on meat-eating also includes the ubiquitous climate tipping points.

It cannot do both’
- ‘Food Police’ – Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends on UN Meat report: UN seeks ‘massive expansion of the UN’s regulatory power…lifestyle controls’
Climate Depot Note: The UN is rapidly trying to expand its climate regulatory reach. The 2015 UN touted the Paris climate pact which was supposed to save the planet, but alas, it turns out it was not enough according to the UN. (See: UN admits ‘historic’ Paris climate pact did not save Earth after-all! Now says: Cutting CO2 ‘not enough’ – ‘We must change food production to save the world’).
The UN is now also pushing a global environmental pact. See: UN Paris agreement ‘on steroids’- France and UN push for new legally binding global treaty on environment & UN Pushes for ‘Paris Agreement on Steroids’
The UN has also expanded into trying to regulate land use with a species extinction scare. See: Video & Submitted Written Congressional Testimony of Marc Morano – Examining UN Species/Climate Report – UN report is ‘authoritative propaganda’
And now, the UN is trying to morph into a global food police as they try and expand their regulatory power to include food production!
Morano: "This is nothing more than regulatory lifestyle controls by the UN. They are empowering themselves with this report...This is an open call by the United Nations for activist policies in taxes and regulation. And we have seen activists come out with ideas like the meat patch, like a nicotine patch, which would induce allergies to people so they won’t eat meat. It’s getting whackier and whackier."
"What's interesting is back in the 1970s, they predicted a food catastrophe based on the global cooling scare."
