    I am sorry, I no longer feel that good people putting their names under the banner of NYT is helpful, the NYT has become a weapon of the rich preying on the truth and good people like Bill Mckibben putting their words there just provides a smoke screen of legitimacy for that to happen.

      The NYT has been that way more than 5 generations. Despite the easily deserved scorn and contempt, it has not significantly changed since world war 1, and was iffy at best in the late 1800s.

      Every few years there is a rotten new scandal that has people swear it off.

      It is is a mixed experience. But with the bad come good. It is and probably will continue to be a good source of news of the environment.
