re: #310 palomino

Pretty disheartening when old pundits like Will and Krauthammer dismiss global warming out of hand. For fuck’s sake, Krauthammer is an M.D., but on global warming he talks like a guy who never heard of the scientific method.

Either way, when very old political commentators tells you not to worry about AGW, you have to take it with a grain of salt. In addition to their scientific blinders, neither Will nor Krauthammer is particularly good at math (witness their predictions of huge Romney landslides in 2012). Still, both guys know their own ages and can do simple arithmetic. It’s very easy to ignore a long term problem when you know you’ve probably only got 10-20 years max left on the planet.

It, however, also smacks of a complete lack of empathy for future generations. And I expect one or both have grandchildren that will be affected heavily by this.
