It mattered little to the climate-change hysterics that Stephens actually agreed with them that climate change is real and man-made.

But he dared to question some of the research, and got trashed with profanity-laced tweets from Leftist journalists.

On Friday (appearing in Saturday’s print edition), the New York Times published its first column by Bret Stephens, the former Wall Street Journal columnist recently hired as a “conservative” voice.

Its theme was that the political “hyperbole” about climate change doesn’t match the underlying science — even if one trusts the underlying science. That alone was enough to send journalists into unhinged and often profane orbit.

Here are the key climate-related excerpts from Stephens’ column….
Last October, the Pew Research Center published a survey on the politics of climate change. Among its findings: Just 36 percent of Americans care “a great deal” about the subject. Despite 30 years of efforts by scientists, politicians and activists to raise the alarm, nearly two-thirds of Americans are either indifferent to or only somewhat bothered by the prospect of planetary calamity.

    Although I have little respect for Bret Stephens after his display of Elitist smugness towards now President Trump in the 2016 Election, the Negative & Nasty response no his article from the Liberal Twitter Sphere is pretty WOW !

    It is a known fact, to dispute the leftist scientist is to bring upon yourself the loathing hatred of the entire herd of snowflakes. “How dare you dispute the scientific method and social favoritism of the Tsar of change?” *sic* *sic*
