Mike Richter promotes global warming without mentioning his climate business interests
NHL Hall of Fame goalie Mike Richter preaches catastrophic man made global warming which he says deprives his son the sight of iced ponds and is a threat to national security. Richter does not mention his financial ties to the climate industry in the article nor readily available records about Vancouver's typically mild climate.
- At the end of the article a line says, "Mike Richter...is a partner at a New York private equity firm" but does not say that the firm deals exclusively in climate-related investments.
- Many scan an article or don't have time to read to the very end. In this case, even if they did, no one would know of Richter's financial ties to the subject
- about which he emoted and cited national security concerns.
- The connection doesn't automatically make him or his business interest wrong though one would have to be ignorant of the news not to consider the point. Readers should not be deprived of the business connection in any case.
- And, even its lowest average temperatures are not below freezing. So even if it snowed, it would melt quickly. This is normal for that area over many years.
