[Political Junkie Too]

I think the real reason is that since the Left has invested so much in Global Warming, almost to the point of drawing the line in the culture war sands there, that they absolutely cannot allow the science to fail them.

Global Warming may become the Left's "bridge too far." I fear that they may pursue a scorched-Earth policy to keep Global Warming alive.

Pretty straight, but think further down the logical stream. If we reverse the Industrial Revolution, abandoning electricity and automobiles, we are condemning to death the weakest in our societies, the ones libs say conservatives are trying to kill. The sick and old are the ones most helped by provisions of plentiful power. Simple things like no air conditioning will put strains on the bodies of cardiac and pulmonary patients. Think how they will fare if they now have to walk to work, the store, the mall, etc. In fact, I think Bush and Congress should proclaim adherence to the Kyoto Protocol, then announce that our reductions will come by completely denying electricity across the US for 10 days. No electric pumps for gasoline, no communications, no refrigeration, etc. Think global warming will be a winning political issue after that?
