All three of these bloggers, with whom I agree on so many subjects, use the same language and offer the same tired tropes for dealing with climate change. It is obvious that they learned about climate change at the knee of Al Gore, when they would have been better served by Andrew Revkin, and have continued getting their talking points from Michael Mann, Bill McKibben and Peter Gleick, rather than saner and more honest voices.

For the avoidance of doubt, let me be precise: Michael Mann is continuously in error in his analysis of the temperature record. Bill McKibben is not stable in his demeanor or policy advocacy. Peter ‘Gleick stole and forged (or knowingly published forged) documents from an organization he opposes. Reliance on their pronouncements will lead even intelligent and savvy people into a spiral of error that leads to foolish pronouncements such as Krugman’s latest misstatement condemning deniers to hell.
