Big Surprise

The New York Times is at it again, this time misrepresenting Professor Pielke, who made news after he quit the President Bush's Climate Change Science Program, by claiming such he "long disagreed with the dominant view that global warming stems mainly from human activity."

The New York Times tried to present him as a kook by claiming that he had "[contended] that changes in ladnscapes like the spread of agriculture and cities could explain many of the surface climate trends, while most experts now see a clear link to accumulating emissions...".

Pielke refuted that today, saying that "this statement is written out of an intentional attempt to mischaracterize my work or simply a failure to comprehend my various peer-reviewed papers on this subject."

I wouldn't be surprised if it were both.
