Washington Post Blogger: "Will Misleads Readers on Climate Science - Again" [2]
On the lastest Climate Misinformation screed by columnist George Will, Washington Post blogger Andrew Freedman writes today on The Capital Weather Gang site [6]that:
“Will’s climate change columns are a case study in how one can cherry pick scientific data to fit their own agenda. Take his most recent climate change column [7], for example, which ran in the Post last week. It contained the statement:
‘Reducing carbon emissions supposedly will reverse warming, which is allegedly occurring even though, according to statistics published by the World Meteorological Organization, there has not been a warmer year on record than 1998.’
Will appears to have borrowed this nugget from climate change skeptic web sites [8], which have elevated the argument that global warming has stopped or reversed to the status of an Internet ‘meme.’ However, it has been debunked time [9] and again [10]”
About time someone at the WaPo laid the smackdown on this unresearched garbage coming from George Will.
