[edit] Desecration is not NPOV

"against the desecration of wilderness areas by wind farms"? Very, very NPOV. Desecration is a loaded word. Better would be "against the placing of wind farms in wilderness areas", I think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.189.36.25 (talk • contribs) 19:58, 11 May 2005 (UTC+ 10 hours)

[edit] Discredited?

The Australian Sydney Morning Herald referred today to David Bellamy as the "now discredited British botanist David Bellamy".[1] This article states: "His unorthodox opinions have changed the way in which some organisations view Bellamy." It doesn't seem to quite capture what has happened to Bellamy's reputation. Why does the SMH say discredited, and who has discredited Bellamy? The section on his unorthodox views seems to show Bellamy shooting himself in the foot but not some effort being made by the scientific establishment to say he is talking nonsense.--A Y Arktos\^talk 11:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
