Coding for New Republic: The Wilting Climate Change Debate

I decided to code the blog based on the tone of each paragraph and how it affected the piece. The piece seems to be more about republicans who hold the power in the house and their ideas about climate change than the issue of climate change itself. It�s definitely condescending and sarcastic at times and the authors annoyance with the speakers he mentions is obvious. I think the tone may be received more harshly because it�s (re)posted on the NPR site. If it was posted by a different organization it would probably be more welcomed.
