Phil has taken Jonathan Green, the editor of The Drum, to task for commissioning a series of pieces by climate change skeptics.
As expected, the first piece off the rank by Alan Moran is a load of climate skeptic bullshit.
It is the intellectual equivalent to “balancing” a piece on the horrors of Auschwitz with a piece by a holocaust denier.
This obsession with balance gives “the other side” (climate change skeptics, creationists etc) a false legitimacy and creates an erroneous impression that their arguments deserve equal consideration. It may sell papers and create web traffic but is simply being intellectually lazy.
