About me

Location	Sacramento, CA, United States
Introduction	I’ve worked at daily newspapers for more than 20 years, and have covered environmental issues since 1990. My first encounter with atmospheric propaganda came in 1990, when an industry-funded group called the Global Climate Coalition sent me a small globe encapsulated in a cube of clear plastic. On the side of this ice cube was the message: “It’s warmer than you think.” Just for the record, I’m not an atmospheric scientist, economist, lawyer, banker, engineer or anyone else who has devoted his life to understanding the carbon cycle, market trading of emissions, international treaties or bovine burps. Yet I know enough about all those subjects to be dangerous. Currently, I’m an associate editor at the Sacramento Bee’s editorial page, where I comment on a range of topics, mainly involving state policy.
