This comment supports my impression that most arguments about global climate change are political discussions, rather than genuine scientific debates. >I would be highly suspect of >any "scientific" findings they report. I agree to the extent that it always is better to go to the original source for information rather than relying on second- or third-hand accounts. However, in cases where I am familiar with the source material for the science stories that NPR reports (which is somewhat regularly since in my job I work for a research organization that publishes a major scientific journal), their coverage has been accurate. In fact, their science coverage is consistently more in-depth and thoughful than other broadcast news outlets. They spend more air time talking to researchers and explaining things than most radio and television news programs.
