Green Blogosphere Feels Vindicated In George Will Scandal

 

Published 3/23/2009 by The Huffington Post News Team at Green on HuffingtonPost.com

The good news is, two new shots were fired today by the forces of sanity, in the pages of the Washington Post, which hosted Will's original idiocy. The first is an op-ed from science writer Chris Mooney: "Climate Change Myths and Facts." It's a piece-by-piece dismantling of Will's deceptions, attended by a plea for more serious journalistic standards. Then there's a letter to the editor from Michel Jarraud, Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization: "Understanding Climate Change." (link)
