When life makes you lemonade, Kate Galbraith and the NY Times give you lemons
“Convoys of turbine parts for windmills slow traffic and attract attention in coastal towns like Searsport, Me., on their way to western Maine” – the caption from the absurd NYT piece, “Slow, Costly and Often Dangerous Road to Wind Power.” So here’s the news. We’re now the #1 producer of wind power in the […]

If New York Times can’t tell the global warming story (twice!), how will the public hear it?
The signs of global warming are everywhere. Coming back from my Vail conference to Denver, the driver pointed out to me the shocking devastation the state is now experiencing from the pine beetle, devastation anyone who lives in the West can see. The so-called paper of record ran its second major story in less than […]

Shame on the New York Times for running ExxonMobil’s greenwashing ad once again
If I may paraphrase Sir Thomas More in the masterful A Man for All Seasons: It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the world. But for ExxonMobil? The NYT apparently thinks that the way to preserve its declining fortunes is by selling (what’s left of) its soul to ExxonMobil. As you can […]

Deniers like Pielke keep shouting down any talk of a climate change – extreme weather link
Would the New York Times have Bernard Madoff as a business columnist? Only if they hated business. So why does the NYT let John Tierney write a “science” column? The “founding principles” of his NYT blog are the clearest anti-scientific statement you will ever find by anybody claiming to be covering science (see “here“). And, […]

MacCracken: “The New York Times quote did not represent my views”
When we last left the New York Times, they were burying the exclusive they got on climate science impacts report that NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco called a “game changer” (see Memo to White House: The NYT buried the “exclusive” you gave them on the landmark U.S. climate impacts report). [It was, of course, purely a […]

The New York Times sells its integrity to ExxonMobil
Please email the NYT at nytnews@nytimes.com about this egregious ad and/or email its public editor at public@nytimes.com to explain you are “concerned about the paper’s journalistic integrity.” Click image for full pic of the NYT’s June 16, 2009 front page. These are hard times for the newspaper business. The paper of record has taken to […]

The NYT buries White House “exclusive” on the landmark U.S. climate impacts report
The big story featured on the NYT website at 11 am Tuesday ain’t about climate: “With consumers in revolt, it was almost a relief that Tracey Ullman did not shy away from a bit of a roast at American fashion industry’s annual awards night” (see photo below). This is the NYT as People magazine, except […]

Who, really, is inciting Americans to violence today?
NYT columnist Frank Rich has a terrific column on the hate-mongering being pushed by the some of the right-wing media these days, “The Obama Haters’ Silent Enablers“: WHEN a Fox News anchor, reacting to his own network’s surging e-mail traffic, warns urgently on-camera of a rise in hate-filled, “amped up” Americans who are “taking the […]

New York Times runs absurdly misleading headline on Revkin’s sea level rise (non)story
Study Halves Prediction of Rising Seas You have got to be kidding me. Just for the record, the study doesn’t actually alter the “prediction of rising seas” in your lifetime — or your grandchildren’s lifetimes — one inch. More accurate would be Reuters, “West Antarctic ice threat revised down; still dire.“ It’s a good headline […]
