Seth Borenstein is obnoxious and blamed me for not being able to meet a deadline over a lousy phone call. He is one of the many reasons why Bob Knight is one of my heroes. If Seth and Knight Ridder don't want to write about what me and my associates do for the environment, that's fine. I've got Bill O'Reilly, the greatest journalist ever, and even the NY times. So hey, if Knight Ridder doesn't want my business, I've got other avenues. He's just a typical writer who doesn't want to talk about the environment all that badly. No journalist does these days.

Mr. Roberts, you are mistaken. That's what you're calling for and applauding, replacing journalistic integrity with what amounts to religious dogma.  Dogma requires faith and belief in the unseen and unprovable.  It can't be questioned or those questioning be called heretics and worse, and be treated even worse than that.

Serious and reliable journalism requires much more than dogma.

From http://www.journalism.org/resources/principles

"Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.
Democracy depends on citizens having reliable, accurate facts put in a meaningful context. Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or philosophical sense, but it can--and must--pursue it in a practical sense. This "journalistic truth" is a process that begins with the professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, valid for now, subject to further investigation. Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information. Even in a world of expanding voices, accuracy is the foundation upon which everything else is built--context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and debate. The truth, over time, emerges from this forum. As citizens encounter an ever greater flow of data, they have more need--not less--for identifiable sources dedicated to verifying that information and putting it in context."

So your urging for "never mind all the facts, just run with the facts that we like" does your cause a great disservice.  I urge you to reconsider your point and position.

This man is a joke he gets all these 1 sided studies about this Global warming bunk what about all the climatologists ou there who say Global warming is not going on. There are quite a few out there but this guy a person who is supposed to be biased just gets his reports from where they fit him the best. Let me tell you something ask those people in the Midwest who were with out power for weeks in an ice storm if they belive the bunk about Global Warming.The Earth climate comes in cycles and this is just another cycle. Seth Borenstein need next to go do investigation on Big Foot.
