Tom Toles - Unthinking cap

For everyone else, the climate debate has been for decades now about the degree of conclusiveness of the evidence, measured against the practicalities of reducing carbon output. Now, the evidence [what evidence, specifically?] is massively supportive (the scientists' e-mail "conspiracy" has been debunked, please be aware).

And so that is the position they take.

We have SUV's in our time. If there is a current issue on which people are absolutely discrediting themselves, in a way that current science and future calamities will hold them accountable for, this is it. "If this is responsibility, I'll take it!" Well, you've got it. --Tom Toles
