Me, on BloggingHeadsTV with Andy Revkin
A few days ago I did a BloggingHeadsTV episode with Andy Revkin, formerly environment reporter for The New York Times, now senior fellow at the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies at Pace University.

UPDATE: Yes, bad coverage by big media, including the NYT’s Revkin, is one reason there has been a modest decline since April 2008 in the number of Americans who know that there is solid (in fact, overwhelming) evidence the Earth is warming and humans are the primary cause (see here). Big media “did” the global […]

NYT’s Revkin persists in selling spin from long-wrong deniers
Environmentalists assert that the reports by the panel are watered down by a requirement that sponsoring governments approve its summaries line by line. Some experts fret that the organization, charged with assessing fast-evolving science, has failed to keep pace with an explosion of climate research. At the same time, scientists who question the likelihood of […]
