I saw this video clip of Lou Dobbs saying Climate Change was likely caused by sunspots a few months back. After attending the G20 in London (April 2009) as a blogger, I am left more inspired than ever to empower more journalists, scientists, educators to learn how to blog, podcast and share their “News”.
Where do journalists get their credibility? For Dobbs, it would seem that simply being an anchor on a nightly news show is enough to give him the right to make such unscientifically based claims.
We need to be careful about where we bestow credibility.
In December 2008, CNN axed their science, nature and environment team and a few weeks later, Lou Dobbs makes the inane assertion that sunspots cause climate change.
If you believe differently and are outraged by such assertions, maybe it’s time you started a blog.
