No, the Politeness Police locked Lenny up for a week because FTK was whining about the Big Bad Meanie who was Out To Get Her. |
Lucky gal. Of course I've had my moments with Dave.
Speaking of which - here's a pullout not on UD: Quote | NASA is an agency that knows a thing or two about climate change. As Griffin added: "We study global climate change, that is in our authorisation, we think we do it rather well.
"I'm proud of that, but NASA is not an agency chartered to, quote, battle climate change."
Such a clear statement that science accomplishment should carry primacy over policy advice is both welcome and overdue.
Nonetheless, there is something worrying about one of Griffin's other statements, which said that "I have no doubt . . . that a trend of global warming exists".
Griffin seems to be referring to human-caused global warming, but irrespective of that his opinion is unsupported by the evidence. |
So why are these global-warming skeptics contradicting each other? Oh, uh, there's no consensus in science. I'm learning.
Coinkydinkily, Carter is a member of the right-wing think tank the Institute of Public Affairs and a founding member of its Australian Environment Foundation, a front group. All of which of course is just dumb luck. When it comes to global climate change, certain people are chance worshippers.
