Seaspook’s Rants Fighting Global Warming – Cost/Benefit — “That’s a big problem with liberals like Goony Gore. They accept a premise without adequate evidence and make a commitment to action without regarding the consequences. Such behavior is not limited to environmental issues, it’s way of life with them.”

I think that’s probably a premature judgement, but it does make it look like it’s still an uphill battle. Congressional Republicans are not very popular right now, and a corrupt Republican had to resign and go to jail, yet voters in his district just sent another Republican to replace him.”
