Suppose for just a moment that the world's climate scientists are right and that Republican leaders are wrong about global warming.
What is the Republican exit strategy?
Now suppose for a moment that Republican leaders are right, but that we erroneously join Kyoto and reduce CO2 in our atmosphere.
No catastrophe right?
Isn't this a rather elementary risk analysis?
Suppose a fireman told you your house was on fire while you and your family were in it, and also suppose a politician said it wasn't on fire.
Would you sit mired in indecision as they argued their positions?
Would you choose to agree with the nay sayer because you liked his analysis better?
Taking this analogy further, suppose there were signs of smoke all around your home. Suppose the fireman started telling you to do something while you still had time.
What type of person would calmly sip their coffee and tell their wife and children it was a hoax?
