Revkin attacks George Will for attacking junk science that suits Revkin's left-wing ideology

'Rev the Scientific Engine.' Great. How? - NYTimes.com
My overarching question for Will — who’s spent many columns attacking science when it doesn’t suit his ideology — is this
...
I think it’d make sense to devote at least as many column inches to this vital issue as you’ve expended trying to undercut decades of scientific study pointing to a growing human influence on the climate system.

Just sayin' seems totally fair (and balanced) if science, more generally, really matters to him.

You attack Will as anti-science for dissenting on the idea that sea ice extent is retreating. That is a pretty politicized part of science these days - now, with 10 months more data - who was right about the trend: your experts or GW's?
