Eric Grimm column on global warming
In case you missed it, be sure to read today's guest editorial in the State Journal Register by Eric Grimm. He does a good job of explaining some of the science behined global warming and calling out conservative personalities that speak on behalf of companies who have a vested financial interest in polluting.
My favorite part:
For whatever reason, right-wing pundits have mounted a disinformation campaign to discredit global warming. I assume they’re still smoking cigarettes and denying they cause cancer. They trot out the rare scientific gadfly who doubts global warming, ignoring the great preponderance of scientists who believe it, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. One almost has to believe that because global warming has been identified as a “liberal” issue, they have a knee-jerk reaction against it.Several of the reader comments in response are the sort of talking points repeated ad nauseam on conservative talk radio and Fox State Television.
