Challenging the Independent's environment editor

Just emailed Michael McCarthy, environment editor of The Independent, at m.mccarthy@independent.co.uk:

I'm a researcher in ocean circulation and climate at Southampton Oceanography Centre. I'm writing an article for New Statesman on the news media's reporting of climate. Would you have a moment to provide a response to the following, please?

Since April 1998 [date of McCarthy's first article], you have published a total of 374 articles that address climate in The Independent, according to a Lexis-Nexis search I conducted today. You don't appear to have mentioned contraction and convergence, the proposal by the Global Commons Institute, in any of these articles. Why not?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Will McCarthy finally respond to a challenge about his news reporting on climate? Watch this space....
