With Friends Like These, Mother Earth Needs No Enemies
Can’t figure out why an increasing number of Americans doubt the threat of climate change? Well, check out where they’re getting their information.
From John Horgan in Scientific American:
“„Two sources at the Science Times section of the New York Times have told me that a majority of the section’s editorial staff doubts that human-induced global warming represents a serious threat to humanity.
Environmental advocates have long bemoaned the “on the one hand, on the other hand” journalistic approach that lends equal credence to scientific consensus and global warming denials. But even the bemoaners probably didn’t suspect the Times’ true bias.
