  Tornadoes and Climate Change William McKibben, a distinguished scholar at Middlebury College, was president of the Crimson some years before me, and the few times I have met him he's been totally nice. I've bought and read and enjoyed some of his books. But his piece today in the Washington Post is disappointing. It sarcastically instructs readers not to ask about a link between the tornadoes and climate change, because, "you might have to ask other questions. Such as: Should President Obama really just have opened a huge swath of Wyoming to new coal mining? Should Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sign a permit this summer allowing a huge new pipeline to carry oil from the tar sands of Alberta?" and "If you got upset about any of this, you might forget how important it is not to disrupt the record profits of our fossil fuel companies."
