We've only briefly touched on the controversy in journalism circles over Chicago Sun-Times' business editor Dan Miller's letter to colleagues asking them to "keep an open mind" about the causes of climate change. So this, too, will be brief. In the Wouldn't-You-Know-It Dept., today the Heartland Institute, the Chicago-based think tank that argues that people are not causing climate change, announced that Miller has taken a job there. Miller's controversial letter was on behalf of Heartland.
As executive vice president and publisher at Heartland, the 63-year-old Miller will "oversee Heartland's research and education programs and present Heartland's ideas to several key audiences, including academics, civic and business leaders, educators, and media," the Institute says.

"business editor"
Enough said. Especially as he is now going to be a flack for the heartland Institute. Pretty much clarifies his world view.

Global warming is so yesterday. It's the economy, stupid! That and Barack's racist pastor.

Talk about stupid journalists.
Look - reality is that massive oscillations and general global temperatures are changing rapidly.
Go look at the glaciers worldwide if you don't believe it - and compare pictures and measurements from 10, 20, and 30 years ago.
Just because someone is a journalist doesn't make him a scientist.
