I have always said George Will and Charles Krauthammer were clowns. They are seen as intellectuals, but any normal person, let alone an intellectual would know better than to challenge the opinion of 97% of scientists on a complex subject they know little about.

Statistically speaking, there is like .000000000001 chance Will and Krauthammer are correct. One would think those great right wing intellectuals would know that.

That is so blatantly stupid. And they are the best the right wing has. Well, and David Brooks :>).

Frank Rich:

<<George Will thinks global warming is merely “weather” and that any alarms have been manufactured by conformist tenure-track professors and writers in The New Yorker.His own personal scientific research, based on observations from the home he owns on an island in South Carolina, tells him that hurricane activity is down post-Katrina, so what’s the problem? Charles Krauthammer has declared that “any scientific theory that explains everything explains nothing” — just the kind of argument that was made to resist the theories of Galileo, Newton, and Darwin. So what will change their thinking? A realization that the younger voters the GOP needs for survival feel as strongly about climate change as they do about gay marriage. Or perhaps further environmental catastrophe that hits red states across the southern half of the country.
