re: #88 Charles

I mean people like Sen. James Inhofe, a fundamental Dominionist who promotes so much deceptive crap at his anti-AGW website that it boggles the mind. And columnist George Will, who has blatantly misrepresented the work of climate change scientists.

The issue has been so politicized that it’s almost impossible to discern what’s true. But the more I learn, the more I’m leaning toward the scientists — and not the politicians, who are almost always in the pocket of one industrial lobby or another.

I think the fact that Gore got involved, and made some over the top comments poisoned the well for the right. The political baggage he brought to the issue made the right skeptical to the point that it’ll be hard to get through the clutter.
