So it was strange to see MrLomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged.But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr Lomborg's “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”.
A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.People might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media.That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.
1.According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics” ?
A.People who agree on the popularity of “ecoguilt”.
B.People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
C.People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
D.People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
