First, Salon columnist Michael Lind came off sounding like Daniel Yergin, or Julian Simon, Michael Shermer and other cornucopians, claiming there is no such thing as Peak Oil.
In part of the column, he also pooh-poohed the seriousness of global warming.
His colleague at Salon, Andrew Leonard, called him out for these and other issues.
And now Lind has written a non-rebuttal "rebuttal."
It's a non-rebuttal because it starts out by claiming that Leonard has called him a "global warming denialist." And, Michael you put that phrase in quotes, in the header, implying (or so I infer) that you think Leonard called you that.
He nowhere said that Lind was a "global warming denialist." The word "denialist" isn't even in Leonard's column.
So STOP LYING. Andrew Leonard never called you a global warming denialist, despite your claim in your second column.
I never thought I'd see Lind stoop this low.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
