A Look Back on Climate Disinformation

Writing on his Dot.Earth blog, the New York Timesโ€™ Andy Revkin passes on a long and insightful quote from the historian Dr. Spencer Weart, to looks back from a dark future to analyse what happened in the early part of the 20th century to bring the world toย ruin.

Itโ€™s well worth the read and is something of a credit to Revkin, who quoted the passage regardless of references like: โ€œโ€ฆ the media coverage represented a new lowโ€ and โ€œeven in leading newspapers like The New York Times, critics with a long public record for animosity and exaggeration were quoted asย experts.โ€

But then for most of his career, Revkin has been a little like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, fallible, but still the a leading voice for reason – at his paper and among most North Americanย newspapers.
