Well, sort of.


To tell the truth, I wasn't actually interested in finding more information that might convince me that one side or the other was right. What I basically wanted to find out was what was out there, who was arguing, what sources they quoted - that sort of thing. A month after Will's article was published, for instance, the online English language edition of Der Spiegel ran a similar (though considerably lengthier) article: How Global Warming Research is Creating a Climate of Fear. Not being familiar with Der Spiegel I have less of a tendency to compartmentalize it as I might George Will. That means that I'm more open toward being convinced by its arguments. But again, I wasn't trying to be convinced. I basically wanted to know what sort of an argument, if any, was taking place.
