Tom Nelson makes a good catch, noticing that some papers, like the Boston Herald, edited out the last two paragraphs of the column that Ed highlighted below. Here’s what was left out, with Tom’s emphasis:

When New York Times columnist Tom Friedman called upon “young Americans” to “get a million people on the Washington Mall calling for a price on carbon,” another columnist, Mark Steyn, responded: “If you’re 29, there has been no global warming for your entire adult life. If you’re graduating high school, there has been no global warming since you entered first grade.”
Which could explain why the Mall does not reverberate with youthful clamors about carbon. And why, regarding climate change, the U.S. government, rushing to impose unilateral cap-and-trade burdens on the sagging U.S. economy, looks increasingly like someone who bought a closetful of platform shoes and bell-bottom slacks just as disco was dying.

Now it’s true that papers often trim columns for reasons of space, but the full version is only 750 words. Maybe they just really like disco?
