I'd rather look at the science, thank you. I hate those enviro-weenies,for several reasons. Having said that, and given that they exaggerate for political purposes, I say that we, as CONSERVATIVES, can do much to address this issue. Things that are GOOD for the US. So what if it makes some loonies happy, it doesn't make it bad.

Knee jerk anti-environmentalism is as stupid as enviro-weenie hand wringing.

As a Rush fan you might remember Rush's great caller "Peter the Lawyer" during the Clinton impeachment. Peter Mulhern (as he was later identified) said that conservatives sometimes forget that some of what appears in the New York Times is actually true.

Same thing here. Just because an environmentalist wacko cries wolf, that does mean that there is no wolf. Sure, Kyoto is a economically disastrous non-solution, the IPCC temperature projections are highly speculative, and Algore is a buffoon. Yet CO2 levels ARE rising, almost certainly due to human activity, and that might turn out to have real, bad, consequences.

Rush does not even seem to favor studying this as a potential problem. He flatly states that humans cannot affect the climate. I have plenty of respect for Rush, but here his opinion appears to be grounded in politics, not science.
