Tom Friedman, Again - Jonah Goldberg - The Corner on National Review Online

Not everything in Tom Friedman's latest column is wrong or stupid, but where it isn't that, it's terribly boring. And I should be clear, it's not boring because what he says is so conventional.

This should be particularly unsettling to those non-scientists who believe they know the truth about global warming but have no idea why. Perversely, their ignorance makes them more, rather than less, certain that they are correct. Witness the protests by NGO know-nothings at Copenhagen. Unfortunately for them, the case for anthropogenic global warming is crumbling like the pillars of an ancient temple.
