The Goracle can’t have abandoned his “climate crisis” shtick yet, can he?
No, one must assume that the emphasized phrase below somehow slipped past the marketing team, the lawyers, and the proofreaders at Warmmonger, Inc.
Re “In Debate on Climate Change, Exaggeration Is a Common Pitfall” (news analysis, Feb. 25):
We take issue with the comparison of Al Gore’s continuing efforts to ensure the accuracy of his presentation of more than 400 slides with a recent column by George Will in The Washington Post that questioned the scientific consensus of climate change. You note that critics have complained that Mr. Will’s column was “riddled with errors” and has yet to be corrected. [You quoted a Big-Polluter profiteer . . . yadda yadda. . . . ]
The creation of a nonexistent controversy distracts people from what matters: global warming is real, it is caused by human activities, and it will get much worse unless we solve it.
We have a real opportunity to take action, this year, within the time frame that scientists [bonus emphasis: which scientists, exactly?] tell us is necessary. We can pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation and negotiate a treaty in Copenhagen that will provide a global solution to the problem.
The most embarrassing part is to have it appear in the Times within hours of the most recent, highly publicized Gore Effect event.
