Andrew Revkin of The New York Times is as biased as they come for an environmental reporter, and a newly leaked e-mail may help explain why. The climate scientist who wrote the e-mail warned Revkin that he risks the “Big Cutoff” from his compatriots in climate alarmism if he doesn’t start writing stories the way they think he should.
Steven Hayward, a fellow at both the American Enterprise Institute and the Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs, was copied on the e-mail and shared it publicly at No Left Turns and The Corner. The writer of the e-mail, University of Illinois professor Michael Schlesinger, rebuked Revkin both for including a passing reference and link to “Copenhagen prostitutes” in a blog post and for giving space to Roger Pielke Sr., an expert who has questioned global warming science.
“Shame on you for this gutter reportage,” Schlesinger wrote. “This is the second time this week I have written you thereon, the first about giving space in your blog to the Pielkes.
“The vibe that I am getting from here, there and everywhere is that your reportage is very worrisome to most climate scientists. … I sense that you are about to experience the ‘Big Cutoff’ from those of us who believe we can no longer trust you, me included. … What are you doing and why?”
Schlesinger’s tirade is consistent with the pattern of suppressing inconvenient climate data and blackballing editors who don’t that was revealed in hacked e-mails. But the fact that he sent the e-mail two weeks after the hacking confirms that climate scientists simply cannot be trusted.
Even after being busted in the humiliating “ClimateGate” scandal, the false prophets of man-made global warming gospel are still trying to game the debate. They won’t even tolerate “friendlies” like Revkin occassionally feigning objectivity by reporting what critics of mainstream climate science say.
Schlesinger’s e-mail to Revkin is more enlightening when you recall another e-mail that Revkin received in September. Michael Mann, a Pennsylvania State University now under investigation for his role in the scandal, complained to Revkin that critics of his work now bypass “legitimate journals” and publish their research to their own blogs.
Mann then praised the Revkins of the world — sort of. “Fortunately, the prestige press doesn’t fall for this sort of stuff, right?”
Notice the question mark. Mann wasn’t making a statement of fact so much as he was lobbying Revkin to stay in lockstep with his global warming buddies. But now that Revkin has shown himself capable of rare and relatively insignificant flashes of objectivity on his blog, Schlesinger has warned Revkin that he is at risk of the “Big Cutoff.”
Any journalist worth his weight in black ink would react to such intimidation by redirecting his investigative prowess and reportial skills toward the untrustworthy bully. That’s exactly what Revkin should do.

4 Comments for Climate Scientists Try To Bully Revkin
What else are we supposed to watch that gives a conservative view ?
I am waiting to hear why Al Gore abuptly cancelled his trip to Copenhagen.
I wonder if any of the “legitimate jounals” are funded by taxpayers. Someone should find out.
Winston, we are about to be paying for the New York Times, Obama is telling the failing newspaper he will give them a Stimulus to keep their paper in print. The stimulus IS taxpayer money.
Noelle, I agree, but at least Fox News gives a voice to the Democrat/Liberal/Marxists. You will get more truth from Fox in an hour than you will all Lame Stream Media in a month.
The ONLY expertise Obama has is on how to destroy the United States, He has already been called the weakest President the US has ever had, including Jimmy “Peanut” Carter, as Putin said; “He is just a boy who only thinks he is a man, he is a puppet”…The Putin Quote was in the online English version of Pravda, the Russian Newspaper, of which I trust more than the Times, or most Newspapers in the U.S.
Those who voted for him, and still thinks he is doing a good job, well let’s just say that they have a brain the size of a Hummingbird (and even they have instincts).
Sean, O’Reilley did not white-wash Huckebee, The Governor goes by Corrections Pardon board for recommendations as to who they believe have been rehabilitated or wrongful sentences. They advised the Governor that a 108 year sentence was too harsh for this young boy, who is now a trustee. Do “YOU” think you can run a State?
You Sean have forgotten that he landed in Prison again in Washington State, who also let him free after a much more serious and violent crime, and cut his sentence from 75 years to one and a half.
Man Made (or not) Global Warming, has now been proven to be a hoax, it takes a lifetime to know the truth, and a little hacking didn’t hurt either. Has it not occurred to anyone that no one from University of East Anglia in Britain and the CRU is attempting to press charges against the Hacker? Now Michael Mann, Professor from Pennsylvania is no under investigation for Global Warming Fraud.
Sean, one more thing, O’Reilley defended Global Warming for years before seeing the CRU emails, if you want to find the person you are really describing, just look to the so-called President, Reid, and Pelosi.
The media is obviously complicide in the lies and deceit of global warming. Bill Oreilly has no honor, no dignity and should be ashamed of himself for calling people who don’t believe in global warming idiots and other hideous names that can’t be repeated. Did anyone see oreillys love fest with huckabee after one of huckabees pardons killed four cops ten miles from where I live. When I saw that I knew it was over for fox news. Fox news has whitewashed huckabees pardons and defended him. They make me puke. I will be attending the ceremony for the four police officers killed because of one of fixed news’ stars. When will you people wake up? Fox news isn’t on our side at all. Everyone of there hosts make me puke!!
