Pity the poor "environmental Cassandras," said George Will in The Washington Post. Global warming is proving maddeningly "slow to vindicate their apocalyptic warnings." In a recent New York Times article, prize-winning German climate scientist Mojib Latif said temperatures have hit a "plateau" and that the planet might even cool for the next decade or two. Global warming alarmists must be careful what they say about actual temperatures on Earth, or they might commit "the unpardonable faux pas of denying that the world is coming to an end."
"George Will can't seem to get his facts straight on global warming," said the Union of Concerned Scientists, but at least he's getting "warmer." But, oddly, Will ends his column saying we need a national commission to assess the evidence of climate change. "Huh?" We've done that, and a consortium of scientists at 13 federal agencies and several major universities and research institutes concluded that "global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced."
