There's a lot of "friendly fire" in the #NewClimateWar (publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/michael…). Despite having some of the best climate journalists on staff, @NYTimes editorial decisions have often played into the tactics of climate inactivists (presumably unwittingly). Some examples (thread):
The @NYTimes engaging in "deflection" (i.e. it's all about individual lifestyle change rather than systemic change) 
The @NYTimes providing editorial page space for a low blow attack on youth climate advocate @GretaThunberg
The @NYTimes laundering misleading claims about carbon pricing from right wing fossil fuel industry front groups.
and finally, the @NYTimes, just weeks ago, promoting a disabling climate doomist narrative on their editorial page (one that, in fact, misrepresented yours truly by name). See: thehill.com/opinion/energy…
That's not to say that that @NYTimes tries to misinform readers about the climate crisis, but simply that even those outlets we might consider climate "friendly" often buy into insidious climate inactivist frames. They need to do better. There's a planet at stake.
