The Washington Post keeps digging themselves deeper into a hole. They are continuing to publish old and rebutted theories in the denial of global warming.
WAPO cannot see beyond than defending errors of fact, errors of editorial process, and having little regard for getting accurate information to their readership.
Media Matters is all over this.
Same with many blogs on Kos:
Dishonesty and Incompetence
The Arizona Researchers Demolish Will's Claims
TODAY'S IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT:
A letter has been sent by the heads of Media Matters, League of Conservation Voters, Sierra club and others demanding a retraction. Here is an excerpt from the letter.
* Will claimed that "according the U.N. World Meteorological Organization, there has been no recorded global warming for more than a decade." This is false. In fact, the WMO recently stated that "global warming, mostly driven by greenhouse gas emissions, is continuing."
* Will misleadingly conflated Arctic and global sea ice levels to leave readers with the false impression that global warming isn't real. After Will's column was published, the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center took issue with his use of their sea ice data, writing: "It is disturbing that the Washington Post would publish such information without first checking the facts."
* Will repeats science deniers' discredited assertion that a scientific consensus about a global "cooling" crisis existed in the 1970s.
