NY Times Tweets Out Link to Its Climate Coverage After Backlash for Bret Stephens Column

The New York Times tweeted out a link specifically promoting its climate coverage following the backlash to the debut column of Bret Stephens today.

As you’ve no doubt heard, Stephens wrote about climate change skepticism and it led to quite a lot of backlash:
