The Reference Frame: NYT: Skeptical playwright much better than the worriers

While the worriers' propaganda piece criticized the United Nations for not becoming an alarmist organization on steroids while in Copenhagen, "The Heretic" focused on the misconduct of the IPCC. At any rate, it's one of the first cases when a liberal paper such as the New York Times admits that skeptics actually offer a more intelligent material than the worriers.

In the past, you could see many left-wing writers who admitted that the skeptics were (and almost universally are) better debaters etc. But this comparison was always presented with a dismissive tone, one that attempted to suggest that the skeptics were better liars. This tone is now gone. The skeptics simply did a better job in analyzing a problem that divides the contemporary society, NYT admits.
