The NYTimes editorial board apparently finds just “trivial” errors in all the retractions going around lately. (sea levels rising being just the latest)
Concerning Mr. de Boer’s resignation:
His resignation comes at a fragile moment in the campaign to combat climate change. The Senate is stalemated over a climate change bill. The disclosure of apparently trivial errors in the U.N.’s 2007 climate report has given Senate critics fresh ammunition. And without Mr. de Boer, the slim chances of forging a binding agreement at the next round of talks in December in Cancún, Mexico, seem slimmer still.
