L.A. Times cuts off climate-change deniers

Thornton responded in a Tuesday afternoon op-ed that explained his policy.

"When deciding which letters should run among hundreds on such weighty matters as climate change, I must rely on the experts -- in other words, those scientists with advanced degrees who undertake tedious research and rigorous peer review," wrote Thornton.

"The debate right now isn't whether this evidence exists (clearly, it does) but what this evidence means for us."

Last month, another mainstream source of science news, the magazine "Popular Science," took an even more direct approach to removing the deniers from the climate change discussion. On Sept. 24, PopSci announced that it is shutting off comments on its website.
