[E. Pluribus Unum]

One thing seems certain to me, willful ignorance does not make for good public policy.

Willful ignorance is the stock-in-trade of demogogues.

From Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: ¹dem·a·gogue
Function: noun
1 : a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power

The very definition of Algore.

In for a penny, in for a pound, eh? I guess we should ignore reputable qualified scientists who think man-made CO2 causes global climate change since bogeyman Al Gore has a propaganda film about global warming. Apparently unlike each of you, I do not know whether, and if so, the extent to which, or the manner in which, man-made CO2 emissions might cause climate change. For that matter, I do not know whether any such climate change may be harmful to mankind. But I do know enough not to ridicule the reputable qualified scientists studying global climate change simply because their views or conclusions do not fit cleanly into my political agenda.
