Letter: Climate change should stick with facts, not propoganda
A tale of two headlines: TC Herald on Nov. 4 echoes New York Times with “US report contradicts Trump on cause of climate change,” while Wall Street Journal has “A Deceptive New Report on Climate” (Nov. 3). Steven E. Koonin, Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science during President Obama’s first term and currently director for Center for Urban Science and Progress at New York University, itemizes the report’s failings for his WSJ article, including data misrepresentations and the omission of “inconvenient facts.”
A similar article on Nov. 4 about evapotranspiration is similarly long on alarmism, short on substance.
To be clear: I am not a denier, but I certainly am appalled that misleading, alarmist propaganda is allowed to masquerade as science in this community of scientists and engineers.
