I unfortunately had to drive to Denver today, and on the way back accidentally turned on NPR.
Bill McKibben was talking about global warming and how conservatives were blocking it. I don’t have an exact quote, but he said something to the effect of “all atmospheric physicists and chemists agree.” Then he stated that there is “nothing conservative about doubling CO2. It is the biggest experiment ever performed“ and finally:
“The sooner that conservatives are willing to accept the science, the reality, the sooner we can get to work with their very important help in figuring out what set of prescriptions, what combination of market and regulation will be required in order to deal with the most serious problem we’ve ever stumbled into.“
the sooner we can get to work with their very important help in figuring out what set of prescriptions, what combination of market and regulation will be required
The sooner it gets cold the sooner everyone can get people like this permanently the f*%k out of their lives.
Reason #94 for riding a bike – you don’t have to listen to the radio.
