Newt Crossing

Newt Gingrich, while debating John Kerry, rejected Inhofe's intransigence and acknowledged:

the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Drew Ryun, son of the former Congressman and current candidate Jim Ryun, thinks that we should ignore the conclusions reached by the National Academies of Science, the thousands of scientists who wrote the IPCC reports and the governments that unanimously approved them. On what basis does he say this? Because he was able to find one scientist who isn't so sure, and has made a career of denying climate change.

When Newt Gingrich of all people is to your left, you're running the wrong way.

Ryun quotes his "ivory tower of ivory tower bastians of academia", Richard Lindzen, as saying:

Many of the most alarming studies rely on long-range predictions using inherently untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately forecast the weather a week from now.

Technology can let you down like that. I was late for work this morning because my calendar didn't go off.
