Interesting article challenging consensus on global warming. I particularly liked this.

"While I cannot speak as authoritatively on climate science as I can on economics, I can recognize when an issue is not settled. That's when the proponents of a position insist that it is. If their position is as rock-solid as they say it is, then they should have no fear of debate. When they refuse to engage their opponents in honest debate, they have abandoned the world of science for the realm of politics."

This is the time where a responsible leader would lead by example.

But that's not Obama.

At least Jimmy Carter wore a cardigan sweater when he was telling us to turn down the thermostat.
