    Heads Above Water

    George Black on a surprisingly smart and honest Fox News report about the links between climate change and extreme weather. (Okay, a Fox News local affiliate…but still!)

    The headline — “Scientists Research Link Between Extreme Weather and Climate Change” — had me braced for the usual Fox fare. So did the opening lines from the reporter, Dave Young: “There’s a lot of people who have a hard time buying into the whole global warming thing, especially when they have two feet of snow still sitting in their front yard in early February.” But what followed was a pleasant surprise.

    Black connects the dots between this report and one from 5280 feet lower—that of the ousting of Maldives president Nasheed.
