National Review (this time none other than senior editor Rich Lowry) once again proving that it once again that it will chose ignorance over reality:

The New Climate Deniers

[…]

The new climate deniers are the liberals who, despite their obsession with climate change, have managed to miss the biggest story in climate science, which is that there hasn’t been any global warming for about a decade and a half.

[…]

Lowry’s claime is based solely on this article at the Economist:

A sensitive matter

The Economist article has no byline nor references.

The Economist article does try to tackle some difficult subtleties in climatology and doesn’t come the conclusion that Lowry presents… which of course Lowry seems to ignore.

The Economist article, while no where as know-nothing as Lowry’s piece, still over-looks a lot of data, but does briefly mention the now demonstrated greater energy flow into the deeper ocean.

That NRO ignores what the actual article they link actually says, an Economist article that itself struggles to come to terms with an esoteric subject but at least doesn’t diss science, is fully in keeping with the American atavists and their desire to run from reality and modernity.

National Review - putting two extra syllables in “know-nothing”.
