Wash. Post’s Juliet Eilperin Rejects Journalistic Balance — Touts ‘Political’ UN Climate Scare Report
Climate Depot Editorial – Serving as the Media’s Ombudsman
Washington Post staff writer Juliet Eilperin continues her downward slide as an objective and balanced reporter of climate issues. Eilperin’s September 25, 2009 article titled “New Analysis Brings Dire Forecast Of 6.3-Degree Temperature Increase,” is a journalistic embarrassment.
Earlier this month, Eilperin (publicly available email: [email protected]) did a similarly poor job of reporting on claims of an Arctic “Hockey Stick.” (See: Not Again! WaPo’s Eilperin and Media Promoting Arctic ‘Hockey Stick’ – Claim Temps Warmest in 2000 Years – September 3, 2009)
Eilperin’s latest article once again features discredited political climate activist Robert Corell, without noting Corell’s incorrect scientific claims or his affiliation with the activist Heinz Center, run by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Sen. John Kerry. (For more on Corell, see below. Eilperin also cannot decide on how to spell Corell’s name correctly. Earlier this month, she incorrectly spelled it “Correll” – see here. To contact Washington Post Ombudsman Andrew Alexander about the quality of Eilperin’s reporting, email [email protected])
In her September 25 article on the latest UN climate scare report, Eilperin wrote: “Climate researchers now predict the planet will warm by 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century even if the world’s leaders fulfill their most ambitious climate pledges, a much faster and broader scale of change than forecast just two years ago, according to a report released Thursday by the United Nations Environment Program.” (Note: Other media outlets are also serving as public relations arms of the UN. See: Laughable: UN Report: ‘Damage being caused by climate change…is no longer a matter of debate’ — ‘The science has become more irrevocable than ever’ – Sept. 24, 2009 — Also, AP’s Seth Borenstein delivered his usual pabulum on global warming, complete with extensive quotes from Corell. “Global warming is speeding up,” Borenstein wrote on Sept. 24, 2009. — For a reality check on the latest science, see: ‘Series of inconvenient developments for promoters of man-made global warming fears continue unabated’ – August 25, 2009)

UN report ‘aimed at marshaling political support’
Eilperin does note the obvious — that this new piece of “global warming …
