The fact they had to dredge up DeSmogBlog in an attempt to discredit the Senate report, reveals how unblemished the report remains. The NYT baselessly implies some of the 700 plus scientists lack credentials. I wonder if the NYT has ever been as scrutinizing of the UN IPCC scientists? (See: UN
IPCC's William Schlesinger admits in 2009 that only 20% of IPCC scientists deal with climate )– The fact that the NYT has done this profile of a skeptic in such a balanced way, simply reveals that tide is turning. An article like the below would not have been possible just two years ago. The mainstream media appears to be realizing that climate skepticism has gone mainstream! One side note: Greenpeace’s Kert Davies is quoted as stating: :Eventually, Morano will be held accountable, but it may be too late.” I wonder how they plan to “hold me accountable?”
