Are you looking for a job? Well, good news. The New York Times is looking for a Global Warming (now called "Climate Change" when the warming bit didn't happen) editor. Anyone can apply. Here is the happy announcement from the Times:

Exactly.
John, could you use a job? I think you’d be good at this.
i.e. a fiction editor.
As a kid I got my 'climate change' info from Raquel Welch on CBS8 in San Diego.
And I think she set an excellent standard!
No white people nor heterosexuals need apply.
Thank Goodness. A lot of this global warming crap has been making it past their current editors and into the pages of the New York Slimes. It probably would be a full time job editing all of it out, so that the Slimes might eventually regain some credibility.
They’re looking for a good fiction writer.
How much time does the media wasted talking about things that have zero affect on our lives or no person can determine if it's true or not?
If you turn on NPR (very seldom) and at the top of the hour you hear that the stock market went up or down so many points. Why do they waste our time with this worthless news? The stock market should only be news if it falls or rises dramatically.
Just this week, some astronomers tell us that a galaxy a thousand light years away is filled with "dark matter". On what evidence? Has anyone even seen anything remotely close to "dark matter" in our galaxy? No, of course not, but the reader is expected to nod his head in agreement that this is all very important science when the odds that this wild conjecture is correct are incredibly low.
Science seems to be treated so carelessly in our society that the public has no appreciation for the degree of accuracy.
A few months back on FR I highlighted a year of horrendous predictions for the North American hurricane season.
If the models of these "scientists" cannot reliably predict the number of hurricanes or major hurricanes only a few months out, how can they begin to tell us what average temperatures will be 70 years in the future.
Once Trump builds the wall and does many other urgent things to make America great again, I'd like him to increase funding for practical science and reduce funding dramatically for "science" that doesn't produce results.
Let the astronomers and climatologists fund themselves by privatizing. Let them sell their services to whoever wants them. The public doesn't need to be paying for their nonsense and wild, error-prone projections.
There's a market for good hurricane prediction. But let's let private industry sort out which team of experts is good and which is blowing smoke...
False science delenda est.
