John Fleck comments on George Will’s latest zombie attack: in the 1970s, scientists said the Earth was cooling!
What’s amazing is not that George Will is selectively quoting to mislead the reader, but that he continues to do so after John sent him a copy of the article in question:
When George Will last wrote about this subject, last May, I sent him a copy of the Science News article he misleadingly quoted in the example I used above. I got a nice note back from him thanking me for sharing it.
I’ll leave it to the reader to decide what this reveals about George Will’s journalistic integrity.
I can sense some frustration from Fleck that this argument lives on despite the publication of his nice BAMS article that lays out the actual history of the argument, and which clearly shows it to be false.
All I can say is: Welcome to the club, John.
