The New York Times environmental writer, Andrew Revkin, has left that newspaper this week. What made Revkin's departure interesting is that in his long farewell story published on Monday, he never once mentions global warming or climate change.
First a little background on Revkin's departure from the Times via the Columbia Journalism Review:
Andrew C. Revkin, one of the most influential and respected reporters on the environment, will take a buyout from The New York Times as part of the paper’s current round of budget cuts. His departure, after nearly fifteen years at the Times, is sure to leave a big hole in the publication’s coverage of climate change at a time when this controversial issue—and what to do about it—is at the top of the American and international agenda as never before. Revkin is currently on assignment covering the Copenhagen climate change summit and will step down from his staff reporting post next Monday after returning to New York.

Six me, my or mines and eleven usues of I in his brief statment. He doesn’t mention climate change or global warming because it’s always about themselves.

Andrew Revkin’s update is the perfect professorial weasel words. Yeah he’s above it all with his oh so wide perspective because now he’s an effin prof at Pace University which is in the bush league of bush universities. After all these years at the New York Times he couldn’t he get on at NASA/ColumbiaUniversity with James Hansen?
Hey, it’s a paycheck and he’s not sticking up any banks

Cheers!
Speaking of GW, my son and daughter-in-law have been stuck in a foot of GW just south of Wichita Falls,Tx since 2:00 pm central where a truck overturned. Don’t know if we can take much more of this globull warming.
Inded on all counts.
Certainly it wouldn’t have been shame for his being part of the news being made in the Climategate emails.
Right?
