Treehugger brings the funny deranged, based on a funny deranged story from the conservative leaning Politico on Tuesday….wait, “conservative?”
There’s really no rational way a human can dispute the fact that the vast majority of the world’s scientists believe that greenhouse gas emissions generated by man are warming the climate. It’s one of the most important findings of modern science, and it’s supported by an impressively massive body of evidence. But, as you know, many politicians — who represent large swaths of the nation — are in outright, public denial of these findings. As are innumerable leading industrial interests. Journalist Mark Hertsgaard has a question for them: How long do they really want to deny a scientific finding as important as Galileo’s discovery that the Earth revolves around the sun?
Today, in the conservative-leaning political newspaper Politico, he writes the following:
Well, I guess when one’s political leanings are so far left as Treehuggers, The Politico might seem to be conservative leaning.
The rest, both from Treehugger and Mark Hertsgaard, are simple boilerplate on the subject of consensus, which isn’t, you know, science.
