It's #BalanceBullshit for the earlier "sinking islands" story. They're both of similar quality and illustrate nicely how low and desperate #ScienceReporting has gotten.
But, "an 'attack' on one woman is an attack on all women." There. That precept nicely excuses ALL kinds of odious, reprehensible behavior. That type of excuse and reasoning is the cause of so many social troubles at this time in history.
And here come the 'yeah, but-ers' regurgitating helpfully-provided and memorized talking points trying to make themselves sound virtuous, concerned and oh-so much more aware of the pending catastrophe that WE ALL MUST BELIEVE IN. Oh - and by the way, keep those government grants and subsidies coming.
Fair (meaning "enforced") representation of diversity. The presentation of concepts foreign and uncomfortable to current ProgThought must be minimized.
It is politically necessary and critical to keep pumping out soundbytes and headlines that reinforce the repeated Progressive assertion that "fossil fuels are dead" (or at least on their last legs). Oh, and also that "sustainable energy" is now competitive with traditional energy generation methods.
What's that? Government subsidies? Fuck off! Nebulous externalities of fossil fuels! Normal business operating tax deductions for oil companies are subsidies but government loans, grants and guaranteed ROI for solar is not! Shut up! Denier! You fucking anti-science, bible-thumping, gun-toting, flat-earthing moron! Fuck off! Hey, can we get some muscle over here?
"As such, STEM jobs are now low paying and have appalling conditions."
Location is (mostly) no longer an issue, and the internet has caused low-paying STEM jobs to happen. For engineering work, offshore your project and pay 10% of the cost for 90% of the quality. When fuckups inevitably happen, go to court (it's built into project budget) or use Incompetence Insurance*. What's not to like? The future looks bright unless you need more income than minimum wage. Yay internet!
"The Guardian is attempting to convince readers that its columnists - those heroic truth-to-power-speakers – are, unlike writers for any other national paper, continually besieged by an ungrateful rabble, and that an alleged avalanche of sexist, racist readers’ comments proves how righteous and heroic said columnists are in their truth-to-power speaking."

We can create the perfect Soviet Man now that we have the internet!
I think Game of Phones is the new media darling.
Has anyone checked to see if it's just some radio guts in a box or something?

Hey, you! Be quiet! Don't you know that everybody with an opinion is an (outspoken) expert now because of the internet?
JournoLists?

Isn't this technique also used by some "environmentalist" groups and various "animal rights" groups as well?

#ClimateScience reporting doesn't have to make sense; it's only there to sustain the alarmism and keep the government funding flowing.

Is that some kind of porn thing?
"Or are we witnessing a breakdown in both government and press accountability?"
Please don't take this the wrong way, but...

"...people who can be considered to be experts in the field..."
What are the qualifications for being a 'climate scientist'? How long has the discipline been around?
Science in the service of politics
Now go ahead, take a dump on Lindzen and/or GlobalResearch.ca. You know you want to.
Here is the perfect link in response to your post: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/1...
Is it like their computer-assisted warehouses with conveyor belts, scanners and automatic pickers and stuff?

* Hey wait, I just came up with a great idea!
One interpretation of sentence two in Option 3 also takes care of Option 2, but probably isn't what you actually meant.
So Bender had the right idea all along?
20 years from now it'll be the robots refusing to pay for "today's" retirees cause there won't be any humans left working. It's gonna be fun.
