AdvertisementBrown was hailed as a whistleblower by some conservative media outlets that sometimes promote falsehoods around climate change. His accusations were covered by FoxNews.com and the New York Post with headlines that indicated Brown’s claims were evidence of corruption in climate science. Brown, who did not respond to a request for comment, has a doctoral degree in earth and climate science from Duke University. He is the co-director of the climate and energy team at the Breakthrough Institute, which has sometimes been critical of climate claims in the media as well as climate policy. “However understandable this instinct may be, it distorts a great deal of climate science research, misinforms the public, and most importantly, makes practical solutions more difficult to achieve.”Brown’s claims were amplified by conservative media outlets.
