Ace did the lifting on this so the link goes to him, but follow his link to the National Post and read the e-mail exchange for yourself. It took 76 minutes to transform a story about cooling temperatures casting doubt on global warming to global warming marching steadily onwards notwithstanding the recent blip in cooling temperatures. Fine by me; if the media wants to make its story angles a function of reader reaction, conservatives will happily play that game. When does that principle go into effect for its coverage of, say, Iraq?

Exit question: How’d this story get through? Al Gore had better e-mail the Chronicle, stat.
