Even Keith Kloor has questions about warmist funding of Scientific American climate hoax propaganda

On Attribution, Global Warming and Disclosures
Then again, I have to ask: why is a highly reputable science magazine letting a foundation-supported organization (whose “mission is to provide credible information, straight answers, and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change”) financially underwrite a story about global warming and extreme weather?
...
There’s also another odd aspect about this SciAm story funded by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. It’s advancing a controversial claim (for a global warming link to individual weather-related disasters) that is largely contradicted by a “white paper” issued yesterday by…you guessed it, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
...
None of this is to say that Carey’s SciAm story is without journalistic merit, even if it leans heavily on one source–Kevin Trenberth–who is known for unreservedly advancing the extreme weather event/global warming link.

I was a subscriber to Scientific Amercan. It is no longer a reputable scientific magazine. It has become a political rag dressed up in its former scientific ligitimacy. But that garment is threadbear and you can see right through it.
