Post quoting global warming supporters, not skeptics

The Washinton Post carries three articles this morning on the IPCC's Second Working Group report on "Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability." Marc Kaufman writes about the changes to the American southwest. "Global warming will permanently change the climate of the American Southwest, making it so much hotter and drier that Dust Bowl-scale droughts will become common, a new climate report concludes." Then instead of turning to energy industry skeptics to balance the report, Kaufman bolsters the IPCC findings by quoting other scientists who also attribute the changes to climate change: "Independently of the new study, others [climate scientists] note that the Southwest has been experiencing environmental changes besides drought that many believe are associated with global warming." The last sentence, though, mentions "others" who think the changes are due to natural climate shifts.
