what, us worry?

Not content with its own ruinous energy/climate change policy, the Bush Administration is now working hard to force other G-8 members to not go too far in calling for any significant action to slow the buildup of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

We couldn't have that, now could we? Nobody tells us to quit driving our Hummer and air conditioning our house to 65 degrees. Hell, we don't believe scientists who tell us about evolution, why believe the worry-warts on climate change? We'll believe it when we see Atlanta become a beach resort.

Meanwhile, the guy who neutered scientific papers about climate change on behalf of the White House has landed on his feet nicely. Surprise, surprise, a job at Exxon, the only major oil company that refuses to admit that there might, just might, be some reason to reduce carbon emissions. The quote from the White House about him returning to the private sector after "public service" slays me. That was no public service; like most of these lobbyists who take a turn in government, they were there to further the goals of their paymasters. Sometimes by coincidence it might do some good, but there is nothing good about this Administration's criminal, willful neglect of climate change policy.

See you at the beach in Atlanta.
