Page 1 of 3 Elizabeth Kolbert of The New Yorker did not appreciate being ambushed by the local press.
But the superstar journalist, though wary, was a good sport when she
was gently questioned by a fellow journalist in the nearly empty lobby
of the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland Monday night.
"Turnabout is fair play, I guess," she said to her interrogator,
smiling but looking uncomfortable as she defended her well-known role
as a global warming alarmist by saying humbly -- and disingenuously --
that she's not a scientist but merely a reporter who relies "on the
consensus of the scientific community."
Kolbert had parachuted deep into Flyover Country to deliver a
lecture/slide-show about global climate change to 960 Pittsburghers at
the Drue Heinz Lectures series.
