Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Simple Math and Simple Politics

If you spend anytime at all perusing the blogosphere, you will find a common theme coming from self-described liberal or progressive bloggers, and that is that those on the political right are ignoramuses.

Such arguments are particularly evident in the corner of the blogosphere that discusses the climate change issue.
