Check it out... here's the essay he's talking about:

Looks like their solution is to become even MORE alarmist and hysterical. Their premise appears to be that any deviation from precisely average weather is the fault of human beings.

This writer makes a very effective case against his own argument.

environmental groups are too often alarmists. They have an awful track record, so they've lost credibility with the public.

So we should keep believing him because...?

=== Their premise appears to be that any deviation from precisely average weather is the fault of human beings.


Please remember it was no "evil Democrat" like Clinton who legitimated the pseudo science of global warming.

Instead, in June of 2001, it was Bush who conceded that such a thing existed and -- most importantly -- that humans were responsible. This was a critical admission for which the so-called "left" had pushed for years.

But ... what do you expect from a guy who, two months prior while inking the UN's POP treaty, commented: "And now a Republican administration will finish the work of a Democratic administration. This is how environmental policy should work."

Particularly funny when -- as the record will show -- it's the Useful Idiot Dems who are generally doing the Republicans' dirty work on the environment, abortion, birth control and other curiously dehumanizing initiatives.
