The Global Warming Debate
Sacramento, Calif.
I compliment Sharon Begley and NEWSWEEK for the article “The Truth About Denial.” As a climate scientist, I see the data every day and there’s no question in my mind or those of my colleagues that the climate is changing and we’re primarily to blame. In particular, Begley’s article did not make the mistake of giving the same weight to the opinions of the small but vocal group of skeptics as to the mainstream scientific community. Such attempts at journalistic “balance” are misleading to readers.

Comment: I am not a subscriber, but have come across the issue of the magazine in my doctor's waiting room. This article makes me believe even stronger that global warming IS the convenient untruth, i.e. a hoax. The entire article talks about politics of global warming, rather than about the scientific facts, and its tone ridicules the opponents. This is an example of bad journalism, yet a few pages later you berate Fox for setting up an alternative.
