Ideas like climate change, for example. You and I both know that the earth is heating up, right? Everybody knows that, with the possible exception of oil executives, the owners of coal mines, and Republican politicians. Yet no number of hurricanes, droughts, floods, wild fires, melted glaciers, or columns by granola liberals like me has inspired a somnolent Congress to confront the problem.

That is exactly the one I focused on. It’s a pet issue of mine. I’ve been a “denier” from way back and have compiled a list of literally HUNDREDS of articles debunking the phony science.
But two things really jumped out. First “everybody knows”. This person needs to watch more John Stossel on pretty much any subject and learn the fallacy of such a statement. Second, “Yet no number of hurricanes...”. They are down, nut up.
The whole article is an exercise in filling space with pap and meeting a writing deadline with less than ones best. A lot less - unless the writer truly is an idiot.
