What does that mean exactly? Who gives a crap what Laurie David does? Does the science support global warming or not? Glenn just wants people to get lost in trivia. It’s what he does. It is his way of living in denial.

BTW. Here is the flip side of the “I don’t want to do anything”, crowd (from today’s blogging tories).

Does the science support MAN-made global warming? No it doesn’t, but currently global temperatures are increasing.

In fact, temperatures have not been rising, not for at least ten years.

Ah, but that is not the question. The question does science support apocalypse in 50 years? That is what I’m sneering at.

I am not sure that helps your position. Would it make you feel better if it were in two hundred years? Why not take action to avoid it entirely?

Because I don’t believe there will be an apocalypse in 200 years either. I am just not an apocalytic kinda guy.

There’s a crisis alright - a cash flow crisis. In government. Salaries are not rising fast enough, they can’t get enough of their friends on the payroll or on the receiving end of pork-laden contracts and subsidies, and demographic trends mean that some beloved government welfare schemes will be in danger of collapse in the next few decades unless tax rates are significantly raised. But leviathan needs to disguise its self-made crises by shifting blame onto some other group. Preferably a group which is already somewhat despised - suburbanites, rednecks, immigrants, Chi-coms, mullahs - it’s a matter of branding, not science. People like Ms. David and her right-wing counterparts are PR flaks for the march of dimes out of your pocket and into somebody else’s.
