The New York Times has hired the columnist Bret Stephens, a climate denier who lies about the data in print. This hire legitimates the fossil-fuel industry propaganda that there are “two sides” to some sort of debate over climate science.
This is the issue of our lifetime, and NYT is about to get it very wrong. So, Mark Thompson, fire Bret Stephens or we'll all unsubscribe or avoid subscribing until he's gone!
Why is this important?
Climate Change is the Biggest issue of our times. It underlies and exacerbates issues of food insecurity and health, and is tossed around as if it's just politics as usual. We cannot continue to let the issue be normalized to a normal debate. It's time we do something to hold media accountable.
