I agree, liberals should never renounce science. If they do they are wrong or stupid. But also one article means nothing. Everyone has an opinion about things. Not sure what the economist is talking about, I would like to read the article. 2012 was the hottest year for earth since recording began and there has not been 400PPMM of CO2 for at least 800,000 years and maybe 5 million years. That means something is probably causing it and it is not a natural variation. That is what statistics would say. The scientist's say 350 it the maximum we can have safely. If you read the article you can see how rapidly CO2 levels are rising. I don't think the earth will solve the problem and millions or billions will die this century. That means it could affect my kids or grand kids. One does best when they look art large populations of opinions. 98% of the top atmospheric scientist's say global warming is real and a threat to the people of earth. One can google that figure, it is all over the place.

Whether medicade improves healthcare outcomes is not the point. Making sure people have healthcare is the point, so when they or their kids are sick they can go to the doctor. Do you live without healthcare. I doubt it. Do you think it is smart to not have healthcare? I doubt it. I worked for less money the first part of my life, so I could get good healthcare and am I glad I have it. I have arthritis and have had to have a hip replacement and knew surgery, like many old people. My health insurance saved me.
