I remain unconvinced. That precise argument could have been made in, say, 1930, or 1940, or 1950, and so on. Yet we experienced global cooling between the 1940's and mid 70's.

The Pascal's Wager applies equally well for the wizard example as it does for Kyoto and its variants. It's hardly a sound basis on which to make decisions of enormous import and impact. A better basis would be "first, do no harm"...

Wat's the matter? Your not going to let the enviro-wacko's hold your wallet?

I remain unconvinced.

I didn't expect to convince you. At the end of the day, powerful, level headed people are convinced and are taking action. Again and again I have written that we need a Republican solution to this problem that will be focused on solving it with the lowest cost and disruption.

Otherwise the left is going to implement a solution that maximizes their power.

The right is dropping the ball on an issue that will come to haunt it. Of that I am convinced.

Even if you don't buy the science the momentum is such that action is not going to be avoided. Regardless, at least using less oil is good for security.
