Some psychologists might be interested in a recent post "George
Will's Uninformed Denial of Global Warming" [Hake (2009)] and the
ensuing blogosphere reaction. The abstract reads:
ABSTRACT: The factual errors in George Will's OpEd denial of global
warming titled "Dark Green Doomsayers" have been discussed by e.g.,
James Hrynsyshyn, Pat Keefe, RealClimate, Nate Silver, and Carl
Zimmer. Even the Washington Post's ombudsman Andrew Alexander has
acknowledged the Post's failure to properly fact check Will's OpEd,
stating that the Post will "recommit to reporting on climate change
that is authoritative and deep. On the editorial pages, it can
present a mix of respected and informed viewpoint." So will the
Washington Post now finally discontinue Will's uninformed editorials
on climate change?
