The grandaddy of music culture mags and the one-time hotbed for gonzo journalism, Rolling Stone [1] is still courageous and trailblazing in much of its investigative reporting. Age be damned. Take climate change, for instance--few media giants are willing to recognize and stand behind the scientific consensus and report on global warming honestly and incisively. Proving it still has cajones, Rolling Stone has rounded up the 17 worst 'Climate Killers' [2]: those contributing most to the ongoing warming--or the continued inaction--that's placing our planet in peril.
The entire piece [2] is worth a read, so spoiler alert here--I'm just going to include the list and summarize the climate killer's sins. For the record, I don't agree with all of their picks, but I'd say I agree with at least a good three quarters of them.
