Thought of the Day
A movement with confidence in its scientific theories would be able to
admit there are many climate factors beyond carbon dioxide that are not
yet well understood, and that some climate models have been shown to be
unreliable. Such a movement would not downplay or whitewash leaked
emails evincing the possibility of massaged data. When it criticizes its
skeptics as hired guns of the fossil-fuel industry who are influenced
by money, it would be willing to acknowledge that it thrives on
government and private funding that would shrink if its research did not
continue to say warming is here and getting worse. And there would be
more confessions such as Al Gore's belated acknowledgment that his
support for ethanol was misguided.
