The Drudge Report says today that The New York Times is working on a prominent story in which certain scientists knock Al Gore for peddling allegedly faulty claims regarding global warming.
If this story runs, there'll be pushback, of course, from other scientists and from those ready to protect Gore politically.
Lots of people on both sides of the global-warming controversy have invested a lot of rhetoric and reputation in the issue. This includes scientists, politicians, editorialists, lobbyists and others -- even The Rascal. None of us is going to be eager to eat crow.
In a matter like this, The New York Times can have tremendous influence. Even some of the right-wingers who hate The Times for its supposed political bias will at least tacitly acknowledge that the paper has an effect on the national agenda.

Rascal,
You are, without question, the most prolific writer between New Milford and Loves Park. You're averaging at least 3,000 words a day. Well done!
The only other writer in town who could even begin to match your productivity is Phil Pash, but he's a copy and paster.
There was one columnist at the Register Star who wrote a lot like you, but he was silenced by the corporate Gods and eventually faded away, like an old general. I heard he's a greeter at Wal-Mart now.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thanks, J. And you're right about that former columnist at the Register Star. I saw him yesterday at Wal-Mart.
