This was very sad news.
Rupert Murdoch, that neocon media mogul, has basically obtained the formerly not for profit National Geographic.
Yes, one of the main climate change deniers is now in control of one of the magazines that has, up to this point, represented integrity and science.
The natural question is just how much that will change. The natural inclination is to think that it will now change significantly, regardless of some who will suggest otherwise.
And I, for one, will regard National Geographic with skepticism from this point on, and that sadden me.
Here are the links to this sorry story:
