Max Boot has really jumped into this whole ‘Look at me I’m an angry, shouty Leftist’ thing with both feet. From accusing Twitchy of being a bunch of alt-right Russian bots (right?!) to attempting to drag Jonah Goldberg over a piece he wrote on the climate change frenzy, Max isn’t really doing himself any favors.
Why on Earth would anyone ever pick a fight with Jonah?
“Science is skepticism,” @JonahNRO writes to justify attack on climate science (based on polemics of non-scientists). But scientists aren’t skeptical of gravity, evolution, relativity, round earth etc. Those who are can’t claim to be pro-science. https://t.co/oJmIynaZFD

We get it Max, you’re an angry Leftist now. *eye roll*
Jonah responded in kind:
Max, this is a silly & ignorant response. If you don't know who, say, Judith Curry and Roger Pielke are, that's fine. But you should have Googled them. And if you think climate models are as settled as "round earth," you should stick to stenography of others' talking points. https://t.co/frNUHCPM2U

Oof.
I will stick to the consensus of 97% of climate studies: https://t.co/RdYakze9ld. There is a legit debate about solutions but there is not a scientific debate over whether man-made global warming is happening and whether it’s a crisis. Why are you denying reality? https://t.co/o2XKqsdRnu

He’s trying SO HARD to fit in with his new Leftist friends. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Sigh. I'm not denying anything. Were you always this obtuse or is it dishonesty? I say I think it's real. Why do you consistently distort or ignore my actual arguments? Oh, ad that 97% stat doesn't do what you think it does. https://t.co/n0g9PdfBCc

Max really was.
Name calling is not a sign of a strong argument. https://t.co/ZrmQWsPntW

We didn’t see Jonah call him any names but hey, whatever helps ol’ Max sleep at night.
Jonah is far more mature than this editor who would have responded with, ‘Your mom is not a sign of a strong argument,’ but THAT is why HE’S Jonah Goldberg and this editor writes goofy stuff for a living.
Heh.
