In July 2006, while still a relatively young columnist at the Denver Post, I published a piece headlined, “Chill out over global warming.”
The column was exceptionally unpopular with readers. Rewardingly so. Yet, I hadn’t merely been mouthing off. In it, I interviewed meteorologist Roger Pielke Sr., a professor at the University of Colorado, and Colorado State University’s Bill Gray, perhaps the world’s foremost hurricane expert at the time. Both were skeptical of the doomsday predictions offered by climate change activist Al Gore in his recently released film, An Inconvenient Truth.
