New York Times science writer Andy Revkin has an interesting piece on today's "Week in Review" section on the state of the global warming issue. (Hopefully this link will work, but you can never tell with the Times.) A close reading of this article suggests that Revkin, who usually tilts toward the alarmists, sees that the current campaign is perhaps going overboard, and the piece includes openness to ideas that are heresy to the conventional wisdom right now, such as the possibility that the alarmists are overstating what is not known, and that adaptation may be a better strategy than near-term GHG emissions cuts.
