Climate heat on Earth is mostly controlled by cosmic rays and the Sun, says a prestigious article by an international scientific team, published (reluctantly, it seems) in Nature. In other words, the shrillness on the subject of global warming that one hears from Al Gore and The New York Times, and, for that matter, the "consensus of Science", is becoming less credible and more annoying.
David Brooks of the New York Times--erstwhile conservative--last week espied great danger in the mindset of the Right: doubting global warming, evolution and Obama's birth in America. Putting all of these together was a way of stigmatizing those who, with reason, doubt global warming and/or Darwin's unguided process of evolution. The birth issue is something else altogether.
Gore might like to have polite society rule skepticism about man-made global warming out of order, but he's not succeeding. In similar fashion, misrepresenting and then assailing critics of Darwinism is bound to deteriorate as an ideological strategy.
