Talk:Heaven and Earth (book): Difference between revisions

===Biased intro to section===

This lede currently says the book "produced a highly polarised response from reviewers, with some columnists praising the book and many scientists criticising it" -- and goes on to quote only Monbiot, a highly partisan, hypercritical, and controversial activist-alarmist. I strongly object to using this quote at all -- it's insulting, not very informative, and biased in the extreme -- but we have Monbiot fans here, so the quote '''absolutely''' needs a balancing counter-quote for NPOV, if it's to be retained. This is so glaringly obvious that I'm boggled that anyone would argue against it, but two editors persist in removing such balancing quotes, arguing (speciously, in my view) that WP:FRINGE policy supports this bias. WP:BLP certainly doesn't, and most certainly applies to quoting attack-dog columns such as Monbiot. I suppose we'll have to go to a RfC or BLP review to cure this. I'm leaving early tomorrow on a business trip, and won't have web access, but will start this next week on my return, sigh (unless someone beats me to it).
