Don't look now, but Ron Bailey seems to be swinging back to the skeptical side of the climate debate

Diagnosing the Climate Over at the Wall Street Journal - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine

The latest salvo in the debate between climate change "alarmists"* and "deniers"* over at the Wall Street Journal has been fired. It all began with a January 27 op/ed, "No Need to Panic About Climate Change," by 16 distinguished researchers who are skeptical that humanity faces an planetary emergency ...Not surprisingly, the proponents of the one true climate science were annoyed and responded on February 1 with a long letter headlined, Check with Climate Scientists for Views on Climate Science. The 38 perturbed alarmists argued that the researchers who wrote the initial op/ed were unqualified to comment on climate science, likening it to the situation of consulting a dentist about cardiology.

If Bailey goes skeptical again, that means Megan McArdle will follow, right?
