Dreaming in Green
by Tina Grazier
Let’s just go careening off...in every direction…with loads of regulations...and fines and taxes...and we'll force carbon trading schemes and "alternative" technologies...tra la! So happy and content are we to play at mattering that we’ll create new arguments if we have to...Al Gore can make a movie! The skeptics claim it’s just so much folderol…that we're playing havoc with the world’s economy and infrastructure...scaring little children and pressuring the pocketbooks and nerves of individuals. But we will smash all those silly worries because...WE must make a difference!
Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology, considers global warming a bunch of hooey. The UW-Madison professor emeritus, who stands against the scientific consensus on this issue, is referred to as a global warming skeptic. But he is not skeptical that global warming exists, he is just doubtful that humans are the cause of it.
Oh, him. What would he know?

You always keep us thinking on the right track, thanks Tina!
This is a very relevant story and it ties in nicely with your Al Gore story on the carbon credits! Geez, anybody who doesn't know that guy is a quack by now is a real koolaide drinker. lol

I have a great deal of confidence that as science trumps politics in this debate, people like Al Gore will have something to answer for.

...people like Al Gore will have something to answer for.
At the very least he'll need to go looking for another schtick.
