New York Times Closes Its Environment Desk. Please, Nobody Laugh

This isn't just serial. It's super serial. Pravda is about to close down its Environment department, source of some of the most compelling and moving news stories of the last four years.
Among them:
Every time you take an unnecessary shower a baby polar bear dies.
No, it's getting hotter. Really, it's getting hotter. Dr James Hansen says so and he works at NASA.
Just because global warming stopped in 1997 doesn't mean it's not going to start again, no sirree - and when it does it will be worse, much, much worse.
Al Gore: why selling my environmental channel Current TV to oil-funded Jew-haters for $100 million was the morally right thing to do.
We shall miss you, New York Times environment desk. You saved us from ManBearPig!

If I take a really long unnecessary shower, can I kill a full sized polar bear?
Where do I pick it up so I can mount it in my home?

Another victory for those of us who hate "science".
The end of eco-fundimentalism will be the best thing for science since phrenology was excluded from serious discussion.

Admit it, James. You're going to miss it. The comedian (though you are a lot more than a comedian) needs his straight man.

Andy Revkin actually mostly transitioned away from this a couple of years ago, seeing the handwriting on the wall, and being personally embarrassed by/offended at some of the East Anglia e-mails.

Surreal, super-surreal, indeed.

Speaking of how f***** was my valley. BP just proudly announced that its windfarm in north central Pennsylvania has gone online. Beautiful wild country no longer.

That Delingpole dude is like totally ripped, man. No wonder he's a viscount.

James, just saw FrackNation last night. You were great in it, though not as fiery as in your columns. Rather muted, I'd say.

At what point do they re-brand and become the New York Behind the Times? Not a big deal but long over due.
N-Y-B-T. Can you hear the chant? NY'ers are great at chants.
"Let's go Yankees..." "Ennn Why Bee Teee...." It's magic!
They can sell hats and other really cool stuff to offset the next round of layoffs!
N-Y-B-T.............

I suppose the bottom line is Dr Lorentz that with movies you have an allotted role and you stick to it. If I'd come across as fierier maybe it would have unbalanced it. Also, in real life, I'm really warm and lovely and cute. Just ask my mother. No, actually, don't.

Re: New York Times Closes Its Environment Desk. Please, Nobody Laugh
James, after all the trees, oil, articles, comments, speeches, water-cooler vitriol, and other resources expended in the effort to convince us that global warming is real, the proponents would now like to fade into the woodwork? Is that what's going on?
Despite my respect for people like you, because of my ignorance of all things math/science, I've stayed largely neutral on this issue. But this is telling, they do seem to be trying to slink away without being noticed.
If this is the end of the movement, many, many people will be shattered that the world won't be ending as anticipated. After all, that was a small price to pay for that giant club with which to beat on Capitalism and the Right.
Tab's right, you're sad to see it go too, aren't you?
