We have […]

There is plenty of reason to be frustrated with the Washington Post when it comes to its striving for “fair and balanced” when it comes to global warming, producing science-based editorials calling for action and having articles that discuss climate change in serious ways. Balancing this, to be fair to anti-science syndrome (ASS) sufferrers, is […]

February 15th, 2009 · 20 Comments
The Washington Post has a strong history of being “fair and balanced” within its pages when it comes to Global Warming issues, providing column inch after column inch of space to those actively seeking to deceive when it comes to what might (what likely will be) the most critical issue for this century.

Climate Change: Debunking a Denier
February 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on Climate Change: Debunking a Denier
