Rosenthal Tackles Liberal NIMBYism on the Environment

After writing on how everything is global warming's fault, Elisabeth Rosenthal faults liberals for talking a good game on the environment, until things get too close: "Park Slope, Brooklyn. Cape Cod, Mass. Berkeley, Calif. Three famously progressive places, right? The yin to the Tea Party yang. But just try putting a bike lane or some wind turbines in their lines of sight. And the karma can get very different."

I've given environmental reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal some grief for her ever-expanding damage list of events and patterns caused by global warming, so I'll give her some credit for her Sunday Week in Review piece on the NIMBY phenomenon among liberal environmentalists: "Green Development? Not in My (Liberal) Backyard."
