This is the same NPR which featured two attack pieces
on skeptic climate scientist Dr Willie Soon here and here, in which the first piece said Dr Soon was valuable to the «forces of climate
denial» (the now non-functioning link was to an older version of Dr Soon's Heartland Institute bio page, later replaced by a newer one), and the second piece cited the same Kert Davies who I traced back to the time when the false «crooked skeptic climate scientists» accusation first got its media
traction.
