Syndicated Columnist Will Slams Controversy in Climate Change

Syndicated newspaper commentator George F. Will noted that there is abundant controversy about how climate change science may have involved flawed or misleading data. Will wrote that Todd Stern, America's special envoy for climate change, warned that "those interested in 'undermining action on climate change' will seize on 'whatever tidbit they can find.' Tidbits like specious science, and the absence of warming? It is tempting to say, only half in jest, that Stern's portfolio violates the First Amendment, which forbids government from undertaking the establishment of religion. A religion is what the faith in catastrophic man-made global warming has become. It is now a tissue of assertions impervious to evidence, assertions that everything, including a historic blizzard, supposedly confirms and nothing, not even the absence of warming, can falsify."
