What I see is that no North-American heavyweights are endorsing the editorial. Not even middle weights from "progressive" cities such as San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Denver and the like.

I wonder if ClimateGate had anything to do with that. The New York Times didn't have any issue to remain at least "not clear" when US attacked Irak with claims that proved to be false. Then the same newspaper endorsed Hillay Clinton at the beginning of the last US presidential campaign. They "converted" to Barack Obama's cause later on.

I see big media in the US not willing to show an strong opinion in this topic. Media will be able to weigth and remember each other's position on this in 20-30 years.

Aren't editorials to lead in specially tough decisions? Or it's just me who didn't understand that concept in journalism school 10 years ago?
