Thanks for the observation, Washington Post 1

Today's "I'm a journalist and I'm objective, here let me prove it to you!" gem of the day, nestled in an otherwise relevant and interesting Washington Post article on the costs of climate change:

Some have argued that the effects of global warming will be positive as well as negative, and Frumhoff acknowledged that there would be some winners in a warmer Northeast. Farmers, for instance, would have a longer growing season, and residents in more northern areas might use less fuel to keep warm in the winter.

    too nit-pickyYour headline is really funny, but I'd say to give the Post a pass on that one... the whole article is indeed full of predictions of doom if we don't change our habits, and the line after the one quoted is: "But overall, he said, the effect would be overwhelmingly disruptive and costly." I don't think we should be criticizing every small little bit of the alternative global warming story, especially when it is acknowledged by the lead IPCC author. It smells a bit too much like we're not properly receptive to a piece of evidence except if it confirms our own view.
