  Another one. What is it about climate inactivist journalists and foreign bureau/defense backgrounds? (see also Fred Hiatt, William Broad, Steven Mufson...) "In 1991, Specter transferred to the [New York] Times, where from 1994 to 1998 he was based in Moscow. In 1995, he was appointed co-chief of the Times Moscow bureau, and while in Russia he covered the war in Chechnya, the 1996 Russian presidential elections, and the declining state of Russian health care among other stories. In 1998, he became a roving correspondent based in Rome" He was previously wed to Alessandra Stanley, who was "co-chief of the paper's Moscow bureau...also Rome bureau chief...worked previously as a correspondent for Time magazine" and whose father was "Expert On Defense Policy and Strategies...held defense posts in the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon Administrations"On Michael Specter's new book 'Denialism' misses its targets posted 4 days, 3 hours ago 43 Responses

  Just for the record: Broder is in the New York Times's Environment pod, whose editor is Erica Goode. The story did seem to leave some wiggle room - it quoted Gore saying that every penny he's made from his investments has gone to the ACP, but didn't say whether a) that included any salary, etc from Kleiner Perkins, nor b) whether he intended this allocation to continue into the future.

  Transcript of the last 35sec. or so, On climate skeptics: ------------ Shame on them. They're flying in the face of the world's best scientists; they're following the will of people who make a profit from the status quo; and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing that. The rest of us have to confront them; as you know a lie can be halfway around the world before truth has its shoes on. And so we've got to stand up, all of us, and combat the deceit, the hypocrisy and the denial that we consistently are hearing, from those who say "global warming? nah" ------------On A video interview with Bill Moyers posted 1 month ago 2 Responses
