This has been my impression as well. I have also asked Ed a few times in the 
past (directly and indirectly) to refrain from making substantial edits to 
the global warming articles. IMO, his POV on this issue seems too entrenched 
for him to edit neutrally. Thus he tends to sometimes give more weight to  
'anti-global warming theory' camps than is perhaps warrented. 

I know my limits - my POV on homosexuality-related issues, for example, is so 
far to the left that I honestly have a very hard time even seeing my own 
bias. So I tend to direct major edits to articles I don't feel so 
passionately about. It is much easier to be an approximation of neutral doing 
that.
