Complete Headline: People are furiously canceling their New York Times subscriptions after an op-ed disputing climate change was published

The New York Times' decision to publish a debut op-ed column by the newly-hired Bret Stephens, a notable denier of anthropogenic climate change, has sparked an uproar from the paper's subscribers, who are furious that the Times decided to publish a column that is contrary to much of the modern-day scientific consensus on the dangers of global warming.

[Snip]

"We live in a world in which data convey authority. But authority has a way of descending to certitude, and certitude begets hubris," Stephens wrote.

Stephens' column evoked a swift and angry response from many of the paper's subscribers, who promptly canceled their subscriptions and bashed the Times' decision to hire Stephens as a writer.

Honest debate - such an old fashioned notion!

The big liberal cities and liberal states are well on their way to being gigantic safe-spaces for close minded libtards who cannot bear to hear a dissenting thought or a new idea.

Bret Stephens, a notable denier of anthropogenic climate change

APOSTATE!!!!

He must be burned at the stake for committing Sacrilege!

The ferocity of the backlash is further proof that anthropomorphic global warming has become a religion.

Any pretense of AGW being science is long gone for any dispassionate observer.

Scientific truth has become whatever fits the opinion of what the majority want to believe. This is the definition of a religion where truth is accepted on faith without the validity that comes from proof.

Can anyone tell me what are the sacraments of the Environweenie Religion?

I wish that instead of fighting the liberals on this conservatives would just say “you’re right, that’s why we need more nuclear power plants.”

Leftards are truly depraved and dishonest. Whatever one thinks of these issues or of Stephens, it is simply a LIE that he "denies" the existence of "anthropogenic climate change" -- he questions some of the alleged MAGNITUDE and alleged CERTAINTIES claimed by the propagandists, but he simply is NOT...

"a notable denier of anthropogenic climate change"

This is hilarious - liberals destroying their own. I guess the only acceptable news sources will be Mother Jones, HuffPo and Daily Kos.

It really does crystalize the mainstream liberal view that the only protected acceptable speech is one that toes the party line. Personally I’ve always felt that the best way to win your battle in the court of public opinion is to prove your case with facts and logic, rather than outlaw your opponents views.

The ferocity of the global warming cultists indicates just how many people, companies and indeed countries have sunk megabucks into it being real. If they can’t make the rubes buy it, they’re screwed.

Oops, they’re reporting more sides to a story than we want to hear. There’s only one side—our side. The only truth we need to know is what we make ourselves.

That long-winded, 7-word descriptor applies to most FReepers who mock the environazis.

If it weren’t so tedious and seemingly non-sensical, I’d adopt it proudly as a label.

Wow.
I read the title of this post and I imagined something 180 degrees opposite of what it turned out to be...
The part I did not understand is that my assumption meant that there were still some sane NYT subscribers. As it turned out - nope, no sane NYT subscribers - just an Op-Ed that was 180 degrees out of phase with one would normally expect to read in the NYT.

this is nothing new, subscriptions have been plummeting for years now.

the only people who subscribe to the ‘failing’ NYT are people older than 70 and politicians or similar gov’t parasites
