Steve Rhodes is attacking Steve Huntley … unfairly … over his column in the Sun-Times today. It seems the mere suggestion that self-righteous indignation over global warming is unjustified sends the self-righteously indignant into a tailspin of more and more self-righteous indignity. Rhodes finishes by insulting Huntley’s newspaper … and proving my point.

In fact, Huntley’s article is a balanced discussion of the politics of global warming. To the extent that he assails the “alarmists” he does so softly by suggesting that there are nuances to the issue the “doom and gloom” approach doesn’t seem to capture. It’s well done and worth a read.
