You'll notice that even in the article he does NOT state that Levin in wrong, merely states that Levin may not be taking the "Reality" of Progressives positions (i.e "Global Warming") into account in his proposed solutions.
No Frank, Jim Manzi is saying Levin is wrong about global warming. SO wrong and SO incompetent in his analysis, that it draws into question the rest of his book.
'But what evidence does Levin present for any of this amazing incompetence or conspiracy beyond that already cited? None. He simply moves on to criticisms of proposed solutions. This is wingnuttery.
But if youre someone who read this book in order to help you form an honest opinion about global warming, then you were suckered. Liberty and Tyranny does not present a reasoned overview of the global warming debate; it doesnt even present a reasoned argument for a specific point of view, other than that of willful ignorance. This section of the book is an almost perfect example of epistemic closure.'
