Update: More Revkin Woes - Was Christy accurately quoted in NYT? Re: Andrew Revkin's attempt to smear skeptics detailed! | CO2sceptics

[Marc Morano] I am not trying to critique your entire career, just your woeful article on the Heartland climate conference you wrote for paper edition of NYT on March 9, 2009.

[From this PDF] You wrote of Christy in the New York Times that "he had skipped both Heartland conferences to avoid the potential for 'guilt by association.'” But what Christy actually wrote to you very clearly was: "There are some very good scientists scheduled for the NY conf., but I'm just not one for signing summary statements or these types of conventions ... you never know how the guilt-by-association process will turn on you." End Christy excerpt.

Key phrase is "the guilt-by-association process." Note Christy wrote "process." Your reporting made it appear that Christy was embarrassed to be associated with the "guilty" folks at Heartland.

You also made no mention in the article of Christy attending the UN IPCC conference at the same time to demand "alternative views” of the UN. This omission of where Christy was is a fairly large oversight on your part, no?

Christy wrote a note to me March 10 explaining his views: "The 'guilt-by-association' quote is intending to refer not to the people at the NY conference (which included some very good scientists) but to outsiders who 'will turn on you' with any excuse. This 'guilt by association' has been demonstrated to me in congressional hearings and in court. This is one reason I don't take money from industry." End Christy excerpt. Christy also wrote to you that he was a “kindred sprit” of the attendees at the Heartland conference...

...But I take the the lack of knowledge exactly the opposite way: It’s scary, because the current behavior of the ice suggests that melting and loss to the sea could just as easily speed up even more.

I also take Wallace Broecker’s repeated warning seriously. The Columbia University scientist has said it quite a lot over the years, including in an interview with the Guardian last year (when he argued that scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere would be essential): “If you’re living with an angry beast, you shouldn’t poke it with a sharp stick.”
The animal, of course, is the planet, and we’re the ones doing the poking.
