Shorter Brett Stephens
I read his tiresome mea culpa in the Sunday Times so you don’t have to
I was a notorious climate change denier.
I went to Greenland and looked at the ice.
I was wrong.
But I’m still a pretentious Republican mock-intellectual regulation-opposing capitalist fool.
I came, I saw, but I have too much hubris to say, “I was wrong.” And all of my solutions require immediate worldwide government action. But I sold my soul, and career, to the belief the private sector is the answer to everything. So I stand before you, having written 3,000 words of obfuscation, to say nothing at all.
I bailed on that column when I saw the title and the author. Your summary is appreciated and not surprising at all.
