RAT opus, don't let the door hit you in the azz on the way out...

Today is my last day as a staff reporter for The New York Times. After spending more than a quarter of a century writing about science and the environment, more than half of that time here, I am switching gears for the second half of my professional life. I’ll be continuing to blog, write and work with video. And I’ll certainly keep contributing to this remarkable newspaper as it works to sustain a reliable view of the fast-changing planet while straddling the uncertain interface between the front page and home page.
But my prime focus now will be education and a broader exploration of new ways to make information work – to give ideas the best chance of getting where they are needed to help advance our relationships to the environment and each other. I’m taking a position as senior fellow for environmental understanding at Pace University, situated in the school’s young Academy for Applied Environmental Studies. There’s more background on my plans in the Columbia Journalism Review, the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media and CEJournal. I’ll also be working on two books, one for middle school kids on resilience to disasters and another, for adults, on ways to navigate the next 50 years with the fewest regrets.
I’m convinced that there is vast untapped potential to use the Web and other means to build global awareness and meaningful relationships. Here’s some evidence. While giving a talk at Linfield College in Oregon in September, I learned of a professor of U.S.-Russian relations at another school who, on his own and with no extra budget or bureaucracy, recently linked his course through Web video with another course in U.S.-Russian relations in St. Petersburg, Russia.

hey Andy. You wanted to be or were coerced to be a stenographer for the gubmint.
Congratulations you will get paid like a stenographer.
If it’s any consolation, the outfit that fired you will be broke too.
Not much of a market for Pravda.
I have no idea.
Nice to meet you, Andy. I am spending my time unmasking climate change gangsters and Demothugs. Cheers!
golly gee, could there be mere coincidence that this comes so soon after the Climategate emails revealed him to be the slavish yet insufficiently “predictable” lapdog of the AGW crowd? By charting a new professional course away from journalism he hopes to avoid pressures on him and the NY Times to come clean about how they acted as propagandists for the AGW clowns?
So are you going to send your Russian friends money $9,900 at a time, just like your climategate buddies?
There's a word for that, you know.
Cheers!
He is an optimist that got fired.
Anthropogenic Global Warming is a Farce Comment# 15 has a quote from Keith Briffa about the WMP that's new to me.
Seniors are America's new Jews
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping, neverdem. The AGW propagandist should be sued for fraud.
After twenty years of spewing Communist Party BS for the TIMES... Adam Smith finally caught up with him. No more "each according to his needs and according to his abilities" crap. Its like this... when your market shrinks... YOUR FIRED!
BTTT.
But Andy, you were such an important voice among the journalistes. Please don’t leave us. We need you.
