Somewhat shockingly, the New York Times has a positive review of Cool It, the new Bjorn Lomborg global warming movie. Says the Times: "Debunking claims made by 'An Inconvenient Truth' and presenting alternative strategies, 'Cool It' finally blossoms into an engrossing, brain-tickling picture as many of Al Gore's meticulously graphed assertions are systematically — and persuasively — refuted. (I was intrigued to hear Mr. Lomborg say, for instance, that the polar-bear population is more endangered by hunters than melting ice.)"
It's actually one of two pieces in the Times arts section today that runs counter to reflexive Times leftism; the other is a piece by Edward Rothstein defending religion from identity politics.
