"Koonin, who served under Obama from 2009 to 2011, went on to lament the politicization of science" while politicizing the science.

Steve Koonin is the answer to a troublesome question facing the Journal’s opinion page editors: What you do if you want to continue obstructing progress on global warming pollution, but your usual stable of tame skeptics is starting to die off ( Fred Seitz), retire from active research ( Dick Lindzen), or discredit itself through serial scientific errors ( John Christy) or by taking fanatical and manifestly untenable positions ( Heartland Institute)? That puts the editors in quite a pickle. The Wall Street Journal evidently has high hopes for promoting Koonin as a prominent new voice for inaction, having lavished on him 2,000 words and front-page Saturday exposure outside the Journal’s paywall.
