It's now been 5 days since I've seen any kind of a post on climate change and related topics on the liberal blogs I normally frequent. It's not as if there's a lot of other news going on--they're blogging about Mexican lobbies (Yglesias), the ongoing financial fever (DeLong), research review boards (Kleiman) and other stuff that seems like it's sat in the closet waiting for a slow news day.
Kevin Drum finally posted a shout out to President Obama for mentioning cap and trade, but it's small beer compared to the hysteria of last month.
Did we win and just not notice it? How come my fellow Democrats have abandoned global warming rhetoric for a week? Believe me, it's not as if they've let a week go by in recent history without a fair share of alarmism.
What's going on here?
Maybe discretion is the better part of valor when there's snow on the ground in late April?
Let's see what happens when the big August heat wave has a chance to sink in.
