Bob Carter just had a sizeable piece published on the main opinion page of the Melbourne Age - the quality broadsheet paper in the city. Its the first time I have seen him outside the marginal or right-wing media.

This is one of my stronger worded articles - I seem to be getting crabbier with each article I publish in the mainstream media. By the end of the year, I'll probably be ranting like Glenn Beck. In this one, I basically call Carter a liar, citing the proverb "a half truth is a whole lie". Should ruffle a few feathers, I imagine.

Glenn and I both posted this at the exact same minute.

I wrote a letter to The Age saying they shouldn't be giving Carter a platform to mislead.

I have started on a piece for ther Age as well. Somehow I don''t manage the prolific/quick out of the blocks thing too well. However I have a couple of family connections into The Age. See what comes of it

Compared to others, Carter is definitely one of the smooth oprerators of AGW denial. Sometimes I wish I could afford to spend a full-time effort on targeting him. He is a big fish compared to Plimer's crude antics But you can't take him on wiith ought being able to put in the time & effort.
