More coverage of the climate change debate
The WSJ has a good article summarising some of the changes in the coverage of the global warming debate of late - focusing on Al Gore's personal issues in this department but also some of the other coverage of respectable scientists who disagree with Gore in part or in totality.
One of the biggest themes of the last several weeks is hypocrisy on Gore's part. It appears that, while urging all others to change their lives now to save the planet, he continues to live the same old luxury lifestyle while using his cash to pay off his guilt. There are obvious parallels here with the old practice of rich landowners sending others to fight in their place in wartime - it was no more honourable then.
