Ben, have you read Romm&#8217;s slash &amp; burn attacks on journalists (Andy Revkin is a favorite whipping boy), Roger Pielke Jr., the Breakthrough Institute, among others?\u00a0 His modus operandi is nothing if not consistent: first he distorts your position (or article), then he builds his criticism of you on that artifice. I happen to think a part of Romm knows just how unstable that foundation is, which may explain why he lards these attacks with ad hominems and guilt-by-association smears. It&#8217;s ugly stuff. And for this, he gets wet kisses from the likes of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/03\/08\/opinion\/08friedman.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Friedman<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/specials\/packages\/article\/0,28804,1924149_1924153_1924209,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">Time magazine<\/a>.
