Belief vs. knowledge WSJ launches Luddite attack on climate scientists and Al Gore	Joseph Romm	06 Dec 2007	Gristmill
The bar for Wall Street Journal editorials, in the journalistic equivalent of limbo dancing, keeps dropping. In a piece titled 'The Science of Gore's Nobel' (subs. req'd), Holman W. Jenkins Jr. of the WSJ editorial board manages to slander the media, Al Gore, the Nobel Committee, and all climate scientists -- without offering any facts to back up the attacks: The media will be tempted to blur the fact that his medal, which Mr. Gore will collect on Monday in Oslo ...

Stossel	David Roberts	23 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Does John Stossel have the brains God gave a chicken wing? Most people say no. Some say yes. One thing's for sure: the debate isn't over!

Is the science of climate change settled? No, but we still know enough to start taking action	Andrew Dessler	09 May 2007	Gristmill
A few weeks ago, I was perusing Grist when I ran across an ad for A Convenient Fiction, a slideshow rebuttal of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. The author was none other than Steve Hayward, who you might remember from the AEI-$10,000-payola scandal. I had actually seen this slideshow discussed in the New York Times, and was interested to see it. In my previous communications with Hayward, he was at great pains to describe himself as someone who believed the scienc ...

Why do we respond to bozos? Churchill, not Chamberlain	Ken Ward	07 May 2007	Gristmill
Why are we letting pro-fossil fuel bozos hijack the only forum that environmentalists and climate-change activists have for wrestling with the daunting task of transforming America? I posted a few practical suggestions in response to David's question, 'Should we be rebutting the skeptics?' I'm going to restate one proposal -- to adopt a Craigslist-type policy allowing Grist readers to flag inappropriate posts. Gristmill is a forum for conversation and debate between ...

Political warfare /= scientific warfare Time to quit pretending otherwise	David Roberts	26 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Late last week Chris Mooney had a long and characteristically careful post on HuffPo clarifying the hurricane/climate change connection, exactly what Gore's said about it, and exactly where Gore can and cannot be legitimately criticized for it. The crucial point in the post, though, is not about hurricanes. It's this: Nevertheless, when it comes to the science of global warming and its impacts, there's a very significant difference between Gore and his would-be detr ...

Debunking the NYT's sloppy hit piece on Gore The gray lady gets it woefully, laughably wrong	David Roberts	13 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Yesterday, Drudge breathlessly reported a coming "hit on Gore" from The New York Times. Today that hit has come, in the form of a state-of-the-art piece of slime from Bill Broad. This may be the worst, sloppiest, most dishonest piece of reporting I've ever seen in the NYT. It's got all the hallmarks of a vintage Gore hit piece: half-truths, outright falsehoods, unsubstantiated quotes, and a heaping dose of innuendo. As usual with these things, unless you' ...

The scientific debate Some thoughts	David Roberts	05 Jan 2007	Gristmill
Part of the confusion over Revkin's article is that there isn't one "climate debate." There are several. I'm going to taxonomize them in another post, but first I want to say something about the scientific one. This debate, as many folks have pointed out, is pretty much over. The denialists are wrong and they've been completely discredited. Every serious person involved in the climate change discussion accepts the broad conclusions of the IPCC. However, ...
