Why has Fox News coverage of global warming become reasonable?

Question

Scientists criticizing Gore:

"Current scientific consensus holds that human industrial activity has sharply increased the amounts of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere, and that average temperatures worldwide will rise for at least the next century — but at a much more gradual rate than that depicted in "An Inconvenient Truth."

Warming on Mars:

"While evidence suggests fluctuations in solar activity can affect climate on Earth, and that it has done so in the past, the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth, which seems to be mostly a mess created by our own species."

Junkscience is no longer highlighted.

Look at "Climate Change" here. No denial stories.

Answer 1

Most likely because the new IPCC report is so conclusive on the issue that anyone found denying that anthropogenic global warming is a reality sounds like a fool.

Answer 2

If by 'reasonable' you mean that they're falling in with Al ('I invented the internet') Gore and his rabid pack of sycophants, it's becasue they are licensed by the FCC and, like it or not, it has become not only 'politically incorrect' but downright dangerous to ones career to disagree that 'Global Warming' is a wholly man-made phenomena.

My feelings on the subject have been well-documented in many other answers.
