Rather than rigor and intellectual honesty, Quartz popularizes trendy ideas.
No visible article on Quartz departed from the conformist line that the world is facing disaster from global warming.
If Quartz actually applied rigor to their stories about climate change, they would immediately alienate that portion of their readers who have already made up their minds.
Another Quartz article proclaims: "Two US electric utilities have promised to go 100% carbon-free and admit it's cheaper".
The Quartz article also claims, wrongly, that wind and solar are cheaper than conventional generating plants.
What about the interesting and quirky articles that drew me to Quartz in the first place? When I evaluated Quartz's treatment of subjects that I know a lot about - global warming and renewable energy - Quartz failed miserably.
Quartz is a mouthpiece for the hopes and dreams of what Charles Murray in his book Coming Apart calls the "New upper class".
