[Phys-l] George Will's Uninformed Denial of Global Warming



Some physicists may be interested in a recent post "George Will's Uninformed Denial of Global Warming" [Hake (2009)]. The abstract reads:

ABSTRACT: The factual errors in George Will's OpEd denial of global warming titled "Dark Green Doomsayers" have been discussed by e.g., James Hrynsyshyn, Pat Keefe, RealClimate, Nate Silver, and Carl Zimmer. Even the Washington Post's ombudsman Andrew Alexander has acknowledged the Post's failure to properly fact check Will's OpEd, stating that the Post will "recommit to reporting on climate change that is authoritative and deep. On the editorial pages, it can present a mix of respected and informed viewpoint." So will the Washington Post now finally discontinue Will's uninformed editorials on climate change?
