I am happy that Mr. Westfall and Mr.Black have been able to earn the respect of their peers in their profession.

I am simply stating the fact that the article is filled with statements that are designed to create an emotional response, and that these statements do not make the case very well.

Okay, so GM and Ford are two of the 100 biggest polluters in the U.S. That could well mean that they pollute less the 50,034th biggest polluter in Red China. It tells me nothing.

This reminds me of the big commotion made because ExxonMobil (with whom I carry no brief) made a profit of $11 billion, right before Obama went and spent 100 times that. If they did $300 billion worth of business, $11 billion wouldn’t be all that much. Since they LOST money last quarter, it STILL may not be all that much.

Around here, working for the New York Times and having your work optioned for Hollywood does not exactly enhance your reputation for credibility. My earlier post just described how the author used facts in an incomplete or positively misleading manner.

Dr. Sivana...A doctor of what?

I am afraid that you are the one who is failing to make your case.
There is ample and explicit information in this article for any reasonable person to check it out for themselves. Obviously you are not one of these people.
