On Wednesday, Hot Air Senior Editor Ed Morrissey reported on how The New York Times – on the eve of Russia invading Ukraine – was most concerned with the impact on the left’s climate change crusade.

Morrissey pointed out: “As the New York Times notes today, Biden’s not the only world leader suddenly finding themselves in this political conundrum of their own making....World leaders actively pushed for higher prices on fossil fuels (even clean-burning natural gas) as a way to (a) fund subsidies for far-less-reliable solar and wind technologies, and (b) use those subsidies to make those green-energy sources look competitive.”
