No, I'm prepared to dismiss their editorial judgement for endlessly
reporting junk science and generally ignoring good science (in the climate
area) - which is nothing to do with opinion and everything to do with an
inability/unwillingness to make any kind of sane judgement on the
credibility of their sources.

This was way OT in the first place, so apologies for extending it further.
I'll shut up (on this) now.
