To get people to "Join the conversation."

To join what conversation? Time doesn't care about conversations here.
They only care about magazine sales. And what exactly was it that
non-environmentalists were alarmed (according to Time) by the photograph?

Negative. If you saw the ad, it was clear that it was steering people to a
website for an online discussion. Apparently, some people such as yourself
chose to be alarmed by a photo of a general aviation field.



Your head is in the sand.

No, it's not. You are acting as if Time yelled Fire in a crowded theater.

Everything you say about the reality of the
photograph is true, but none of that matters. Only the perception and the
implication in Time's statement are what are relevant, and they are very
different from the reality.

Perception is how the viewer sees it, how many people went into some kind of
mass hysteria about the photo? People are free to use the picture as an
opportunity to show that GA really isn't a big threat.
