Last week, the New York Times put out a special section on energy that didn’t pass muster with Joe Romm. He declared: I think it is safe to cancel your subscriptions to the one-time paper of record. While there are 1 or 2 reporters at the New York Times who get climate and energy, it’s obvious that most…Continue Reading…
Just for kicks, here’s my revisions to the opening paragraph in this Climate Progress post: Another week, another New York Times article Joe Romm post on extreme weather that fails to stretches climate science to simplistically connect the dots to global warming for the public. The NYT Romm blew the Arizona wildfire story. They He blew the Dust…Continue Reading…
Joe Romm, deviating from his oeuvre, abandons science with this post. He begins: Three years ago, Climate Progress published “Should you or your kids keep a cell phone pressed against your heads for hours?” My answer back then was “no.” It still is. A year ago, I published, “Are cell phones safe? The verdict is…Continue Reading…
Who knows why he even bothers sizing himself up next to Watts, but in case you were wondering, Romm wants you to know that his is bigger.
I have to keep reminding myself that Joe Romm comes from a journalism family. Because it escapes me how he could take issue with this rapturous story getting front page treatment in yesterday’s NYT. Abby Haddad Carson and Robert Carson say Saturday is Judgment Day; the children, Joseph, Faith and Grace, right, do not. The…Continue Reading…
From one of the many (which includes academics and journalists) who get slandered by Romm: It is long overdue for the environmental community to start pushing back on Romm as he continues to stain their entire enterprise. His lies and smear tactics, which are broadly embraced and condoned, are making enemies out of friends and…Continue Reading…
The response by some climate scientists and climate bloggers to a nuanced perspective on the tornado/climate change issue reveals just how zero sum the climate debate remains in some corners. In a follow-up to this superb post, Andy Revkin draws attention to a missing component in recent tornado-related commentary from some prominent voices in the…Continue Reading…
It must infuriate Joe Romm when people don’t take his word as gospel. Here’s how he opens his latest effort to slime a respected scholar and shape the climate narrative to his liking. We’re starting to see pieces of counterfactual history on the climate bill in The New Republic and elsewhere based in part on discredited scholarship….Continue Reading…
Say one thing about Joe Romm, he understands the value of getting ahead of a story to try and influence the media narrative. He’s kinda like Mike Tyson in his prime, who would launch from his corner stool like a ball of fury as soon as the opening bell was rung and pummel his opponent…Continue Reading…
Well, here’s a shot across the bow. Time for a flashback, to put things in context. A few years ago, Joe Romm got quite perturbed at former Real Climate contributor William Connolley over this post at Stoat and the comments William made in the thread. At one point, Romm couldn’t take it anymore and came…Continue Reading…
