David Viner, by the way, has since become the ”head of the British Council’s climate change programme”, whatever that means.

[Alarmist Bud Ward]: The Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media » Andy Revkin, Cory Dean Seen Contributing In Some Ways to Ongoing Times Coverage

Less than a year after launching its newly reorganized reporting team designed to enhance the paper’s focus on environment and climate change, The New York Times finds itself without the two long-time science desk reporters - Andrew C. Revkin and Cornelia Dean - who for years provided the heart of just that coverage.
...
Both Revkin and Dean took advantage of corporate buy-outs finalized late in December, a move designed to pare the paper’s reporting and editorial staffs by 100 employees.
...
None of that, however, suggests that Revkin’s departure - let alone the huzzahs! from the blogosphere - was brought about as a result of pressures from outsiders. Not even Morano, who regularly claims to see things no one else ever sees [like what, specifically?] and trends that never quite materialize, appears to have staked such a claim.
...
“You have been the most significant person of record on the climate problem for decades,” Stanford University climate scientist Stephen H. Schneider told Revkin in an e-mail widely distributed by Schneider. “Despite an occasional complaint or two from your admirers … and a continuous barrage of insults from the denial set … your work has kept this problem very credibly in front of the public and decision makers.”

Schneider also commends Revkin for his frequent personal involvement in “meetings and panels doing science-journalism navel contemplation” (including several organized by the editor of this online journal). Revkin’s contribution through those small group efforts has “materially increased cooperation among the media environment specialists and media-oriented scientists.”

Why don’t TV weathermen believe in climate change [fraud]? : CJR

Coleman’s crusade caught the eye of Kris Wilson, an Emory University journalism lecturer and a former TV news director and weatherman himself, and Wilson got to wondering. He surveyed a group of TV meteorologists, asking them to respond to Coleman’s claim that global warming was a scam. The responses stunned him. Twenty-nine percent of the 121 meteorologists who replied agreed with Coleman—not that global warming was unproven, or unlikely, but that it was a scam.* Just 24 percent of them believed that humans were responsible for most of the change in climate over the past half century—half were sure this wasn’t true, and another quarter were “neutral” on the issue. “I think it scares and disturbs a lot of people in the science community,” Wilson told me recently. This was the most important scientific question of the twenty-first century thus far, and a matter on which more than eight out of ten climate researchers were thoroughly convinced. And three quarters of the TV meteorologists Wilson surveyed believe the climatologists were wrong.

...several institutions—the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), the Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media, and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research among them—have decided that education is the problem, and have launched projects aimed at teaching the weathercasters the basics of climatology. All proceed from the assumption that unreachable skeptics like Coleman are few and far between...
