By definition this is a propaganda piece, not a news story. But nowadays the news is so slanted or 'spun' by the entire media that we can no longer tell the difference.
Quoted from the piece: "EDITOR'S NOTE: Climate change has already provoked debate in a U.S. presidential campaign barely begun. An Associated Press journalist draws on decades of climate reporting to offer a retrospective and analysis on global warming and the undying urge to deny."
That's a disclaimer. This is an EDITORIAL, and the disclaimer admits it. It is OPINION (meant to persuade and influence). It is not FACT.
