A nice, concise, accurate article.

It is somewhat shocking to see the WSJ publish this. They’ve been drinking the global warming kool-aid for some time now. Hopefully this is the start of rational journalism on the topic there.

Not so shocking. You have to consider the source.

WSJ Editorial Board: Head Still Buried in the Sand

Global warming delusions of the Wall Street Journal

Fiddling while the planet burns

"Now I have nothing against the Wall Street Journal. It is an excellent paper, whose science column and news reporting have accurately and carefully carried the story of global climate change. Even the corporate advertisements that surround the editorial page tell of BP's commitments to renewable energy and General Electric's commitments to environmentally sound technologies. The editorial page sits in its own redoubt, separated from the reporters -- and from the truth. ... Reporters for the Wall Street Journal routinely distance themselves from the editorial page. Many of the paper's own reporters laugh or cringe at the anti-scientific posture of the editorials, and advise the rest of us simply not to read them. Nevertheless, the consequences of those editorials are significant. The Wall Street Journal is the most widely read business paper in the world. Its influence is extensive. Yet it gets a free pass on editorial irresponsibility."
