The good news about Sharon Begley?s latest Newsweek article on global warming? She admits that the phenomenon of Climategate exists.
The bad news? Begley doubles down on the alarmist line that has characterized her coverage of this issue over the years.
Meanwhile, George Will offers a more realistic take on the latest developments in climate politics:
This time in Copenhagen, at the 192-nation summit on climate change, he must explain an inconvenient fact: Since he won the presidency promising to stop the rise of the oceans, there has been a substantial decline in American support for the global-warming catechism, which proclaims that warming is (a) a big deal and (b) substantially America’s fault. Americans have noticed that, judging by the words and deeds of the president and of the Congress his party controls, global warming is (a) an imminent threat to the planet but (b) not as urgent a concern as health-care reform.
