this will change deserts and whole continent for better climate -
environment, provide hydro energy, permanently and economically.
energy + food + land + water + cooler climate.

I am writing to take issue with that response. You specifically support one portion of the column that makes reference to global sea ice levels by quoting from the original University of Illinois source. However, that statement from the University of Illinois was written to specifically refute the very point that Will is making in his column. That is, it has been long known that global sea ice levels are not the most relevant measure for understanding the effects of climate change. How can you use this source to support your claim that Will's column was sufficiently fact-checked? Clearly, Will is misrepresenting this source. Now, you do the same in his defense. Further, there are other issue regarding fact-checking in the Feb. 15 column that you did not address. Specifically, that there has been no global warming in the past 10 years, and that there was a scientific consensus in the 1970's that the earth was entering a period of global cooling. Both of these statements are facts that can be easily refuted by referencing the relevant peer-reviewed climate science literature. I look forward to a future correction/retraction from the Washington Post to ensure that the ombudsman fulfills the duty to protect the Washington Post's journalistic reputation. Sincerely, Mr. Alexander,

Perhaps a sentence or two citing various sources in a correction could help readers make up their own minds: ie; "While numerous nobel laureates and repected scientists conclude climate change is real and man made, employees of Exxon/mobile are paid to disagree." sincerely, Rod Hillen, laguna Niguel, CA Dear Sir,
