University Professor Angered by Time Magazine Washington Mudslide Coverage

DrHarvardAyersAmong those still subscribing to the print edition of Time is Dr. Harvard Ayers (pictured), professor emeritus of anthropology at Appalachian State University. And apparently, he was none too thrilled with the publication’s coverage of the horrific mudslide in Oslo, WA.

From a blog post by local resident, writer-photographer Subhankar Banerjee:

[In the email to me], Ayers writes: ‘It made me visibly angry to read Time magazine’s coverage of the Washington landslide in this week’s magazine. All Nature, no mention of Homo Sapiens’ responsibility (logging and climate change as we know).’

Banerjee goes on to explain why he agrees with Ayers; it’s an interesting read.
