…discuss global climate change in good faith, it seems. His attempt to portray concerned scientists and environmentally-conscious citizens as deluded alarmists (“Dark Green Doomsayers”) is being met, however, with significant opposition.  And some of that opposition is coming from his own colleagues at WaPo.  TPM Muckraker reports that there have been “three separate efforts, from three separate sections of the paper, to push back against the bow-tied columnist’s well-chronicled deceptions on global warming. ” For example, this piece, by Andrew Freedman, examines Will’s attempt to engage in global warming denial by cherry-picking data. And in the video below, WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson accuses Will of making a climate change report sound as if it said “the exact opposite of what it actually said” and of crossing a journalistic line.
