New York Times On Climate Change: Two Candidates For Quote Of The Day
In the print edition of the New York Times today, there is a big front-page article documenting how their side is losing the latest battle in the climate wars. The headline is “U.S. Embraces Climate Denial In Science Cuts” (online headline somewhat different). [emphasis, links added]
Also, in the Times today (online version), there is a feature called “Quote of the Day.” Today’s “quote of the day,” as selected by the Times, is taken from the “climate denial” article just previously linked.
Here it is:
“It’s as if we’re in the Dark Ages.”
This quote is attributed to one Rachel Cleetus, identified as senior policy director with the climate and energy program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
