In My View, Our Approach To Global Warming Exemplifies Everything That Is Wrong With Our Approach To The Environment. We Are Basing Our Decisions On Speculation, Not Evidence. Proponents Are Pressing Their Views With More Pr Than Scientific Data. Indeed, We Have Allowed The Whole Issue To Be Politicized-red Vs Blue, Republican Vs Democrat. This Is In My View Absurd. Data Aren't Political. Data Are Data. Politics Leads You In The Direction Of A Belief. Data, If You Follow Them, Lead You To Truth.

Let's Be Clear: All Professions Look Bad In The Movies. And There's A Good Reason For This. Movies Don't Portray Career Paths, They Conscript Interesting Lifestyles To Serve A Plot. So Lawyers Are All Unscrupulous And Doctors Are All Uncaring. Psychiatrists Are All Crazy, And Politicians Are All Corrupt. All Cops Are Psychopaths, And All Businessmen Are Crooks.
