Okay, that's sarcasm. Wille Soon is featured in an interview on the Examiner.com website, but grilling is hardy how to describe the pathetic softballs Kir Meyers throws, rather rolls, his way.
Here are a few of the questions he asked:
Many of the scientists promoting the global warming theory appear to be driven by politics rather than hard scientific data. What are your thoughts?
What needs to be done to combat the strong-arm tactics being used against scientists who disagree with the AGW theory?
What is your opinion of Al Gore?
Really not much more to say about that...

Luckily they don't make the mistake of actually debating denialists. The feature of last weeks issue, "Age of Denial" is a series of articles by skeptics and one laughable rebuttal, discussing the nature of denialism and tactics to use against it. They do quite a good job covering the basics,…
I heard a piece by David Kestenbaum on NPR's "Morning Edition" that hasn't been sitting right with me. You, dear readers, get to help me figure out what's bugging me about the story, a profile of 16-year-old climate skeptic Kristen Byrnes.
Here are some details about Kristen Byrnes from the story…

Many of the climate change denialist sites have been up in arms by comparisons of climate change denial to holocaust denial. In particular Marc Morano at climate depot has had multiple articles attacking and expressing hysterical outrage at these comparisons.
We know they don't like the comparison…
I guess Soon is preparing for the cheering crowd at the Heartland conference. Wonderful one-liners and implicitely claiming moral (scientific) superiority. Self-delusional would be a better term.
CLIMATEGATE: DER SPIEGEL has just published the most thoughtful investigation it seems:

I believe "Der Spiegel" is practicing postnormal journalism. All speculation and no facts.
Ah yes lets all laugh at the funny Astrophysicist, hey you with the stick.......yes you, put it away, he wont be as funny with only one eye will he.
Some perspective about this interview;
The Examiner.com website isn't really a news site, its content is pretty much all contributed by so-called "citizen journalists" (read "hacks"). This essentially means that anyone who wants to contribute anything can and often times the site will run it. It has a shockingly low editorial threshold (See their UFO section http://www.examiner.com/x-2363-UFO-Examiner). It's so bad not even Wikipedia accepts sources at Examiner.com as sources.
Not to mention this Kirk Meyers only has articles posted on the website critical of global climate change research. These titles "Climate-change cartel wants to turn back the clock on human advancement" to "Peddling global warming fears puts big money in pockets of climate researchers." He's no journalist, he's an ideologue.
Examiner.com is a major online refuge of crackpottery, hardly worth calling any more attention to.
I just noticed you posted this under "mainsteam media."
Seriously?
Do you even check your sources?
Also you mispelled the author's first AND last name. It's "Kirk Myers" NOT "Kir Meyers."
