Dear Readers...
Along with many friends, I’ve felt frustrated in recent years trying to reconcile wildly opposed claims about global warming. In order to advance better understanding, Doug Campbell and I have created a new website. If global warming issues interest you, we invite you to visit Climate Debate Daily. http://aldaily.com/sigsmall2.gif

seriously, though, they have an incredible eye for pieces that seize on a seemingly mundane angle and then proceed to go on and on without getting anything out of it, not even navel-gazing or overthinking, just putting words in front of one another without any of it having any particular thrust whatsoever

oh god it's louise mesch's baby...
this sounds like hell on earth:
Both Mensch and Kotch said their goal with Heat Street is to push back against what they see as the biggest transgression of the mainstream media — telling readers what to think.
“There is a lot of resistance to being lectured— especially among millennial news sources, which have a lecture-like quality,” Kotch said. “We are the antithesis of that.”
“It’s all very, ‘respect my authoritah, respect my authoritah,’” Mensch joked, referencing a punchline from the Comedy Central show South Park. (She is obviously a South Park fan, offering up a few generous recitations of relevant segments.)
