 In today's Washington Post, it's renowned climatologist...er, hot-air-spewing, right-wing pundit George Will vs. the world's leading climate scientists. Who do you believe?
1. George Will, the noted expert on...uh, baseball I guess...who mocks "Dark Green Doomsayers" by quoting a few sensationalistic and erroneous articles from the 1970s. Uh, George, I do believe that science has made a few advances over the past 30 years, but perhaps you missed all that...what's it called, empirical evidence? Data? Yeah, that stuff.
OR
2. The scientists, who say - and explain in great detail, using what conservatives like George Will disparage as "damn facts" - that "The pace of global warming is likely to be much faster than recent predictions, because industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems."
Tough choice, I know, but I think I'll take the climate scientists over the bow-tied baseball "expert." How about you?
UPDATE by Miles: Same global warming denial, strange new package. |
