Climate/Energy: Washington Post starts off 2021 on wrong foot

January 5th, 2021 · Comments Off on Climate/Energy: Washington Post starts off 2021 on wrong foot

Following guidance for ‘truth sandwiches’, a simple truth upfront: Scientists have concluded, based on multiple strands of evidence, that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels (including in aviation operations) “damages the climate” system. This is NOT about belief. On the morning of New Year’s day, my heart went with excitement on turning to page […]

Fiscal Cliff molehill vs Climate Cliff crevice

December 31st, 2012 · 4 Comments

The Washington Post’s Tom Toles well deserved the Pulitzer Prize that he won 22 years ago. And, since then, Toles has regularly demonstrated why he should be in the running for another one year after year … as per yesterday.

Post Watch: An airy (eerie) hole in wind coverage

December 4th, 2011 · Comments Off on Post Watch: An airy (eerie) hole in wind coverage

The Washington Post, for too many decades, has been the ‘home-town’ paper.  With the dead-tree edition at the breakfast table, the gaps and failures in coverage (and skewed editorial section) are too evident.  Thus, many — many — posts re The Post leading to a decision to begin/maintain a “Post Watch” series when frustration (or, […]
