Bret Stephens, the new conservative columnist for the New York Times, has his first piece out for the paper and based on the reaction from liberals, it could be the best column ever written in the history of journalism. Check it out:

Keep in mind, Stephens is arguing that climate change is real and man-made, yet they’ve still turned it up to 11:
So @BretStephensNYT says climate change real + caused by humans, yet left still wants to pillory him bc he questions less certain research?
