[...] And, if you needed more icing on your global warming cake (don’t use too much, those icecaps are melting) then you can take a peek at Newsweek lecturing itself about poor reporting when it comes to global warming. I’d meant to include more about the original Newsweek story, which basically said that anyone who disagrees with Al Gore on global warming is being paid off by the petroleum industry (where do I sign up? Why haven’t I got my check yet?) and is a horrible person, but this thing is running so long due to the great analysis and original sourcing (Coyote Blog gets a hat tip again) that I’m going to cut it short here. One quick hit over to Sister Toldjah for more details on Newsweek until/unless I write another post. [...]

I sat at work yesterday and read that article since we get that publication for our patients to read.
My God, what big time doom and gloom, the picture on the front of the mag was enough to scare the uninformed to death, a big red melting planet.
It’s hot as hell here in Ala., our heat index has been well over 100 for over 2 weeks now with no relief in sight, but it ain’t all the evil US fault. Whatever happened to the predictable climate change cycles that alot of experts say we are going thru.
I am sick of this heat but I ain’t ready to throw in the towel like algore suggests with his pics of the drowing polar bears grasping for melting bergs, ect., ect., ect. It’s hot here now but by this winter we will be in the teens even here, not to mention up north so I guess I can get thru the day.

Samuelson is level-headed and pragmatic. There’s no use calling him left or right, he’s an economics columnist. He does however poke holes in anti-business arguments. I work for the Auto Alliance in DC, and though there’s nothing wrong with driving a Prius (subject of recent Samuelson column) his work is another reminder that the mad drive to raise CAFE standards to unrealistic level does have some opponents in the press.

Samuelson is not that liberal. Back in the 80s when I was farming and the Farm Crisis was driving people from the business I began a correspondence with Samuelson. He was very nice. We did not agree, but he took the time to respond to my letters and I always appreciated that.

Oh, MY GAWD! That Dihydrogen Monoxide is in the finest Champagne! Even in baby food! What’s a poor science class flunk-out to do?

Newsweek Column: We’re Idiots

Robert J Samuelson isn’t quite that blunt, but it’s rather amusing to see a piece in Newsweek slamming last week’s idiotic hitpiece on global warming “denial,” which shall forever discredit the author.

I wish the world would hurry up and end. After we read the Newsweek story my family and I went to go sit on a nearby hillside wrapped in blankets and wait for global warming to finish us off. The fire ants and mosquitos are getting to be a real pain.
