"Climatology was once a rather peaceful science. Insulated by the long-term nature of its inquiries even from the passions aroused by weather forecasts. Now that it is being asked to predict the future of the world, it has understandbly become politicized and argumentative."

"Scientists are better at getting headlines than economists are: doom for the planet makes better copy than cost-benefit analyses. That may be why some economists feel that the issue has been captured by economically illiterate climatologists who do not seem to understand that mitigating climate change means spendinng real money now in exchange for uncertain benefits in a remote future. They have been working hard to put figures on the costs and benefits of climate change and of trying to mitigate it."

So those of you that take this issue seriously, spend $5 and do some heavy lifting to benefit your arguments let alone your own understanding and awareness.

And even if there is global warming, it's all Clinton's fault.

That's how a Con thinks. Who needs facts when a good story filled with no truth will fit in nicely. Their rabid base doesn't demand the truth so why bother with it?

On a lighter note, I found it very humorous when Rev. Pat changed his mind on the subject after HE had to endure the heatwave. All the science in the world couldn't convince him but a few really hot days did the trick! Now that is some real insight...
