Chris Wetterich has pretty solid coverage of the wind power deal in this morning's SJR. But man, oh, man, when do we get to retire this: "But CWLP and the Sierra Club say that by buying it, CWLP will reduce the overall amount of carbon dioxide emitted by fossil-fuel power plants, which most scientists believe causes global warming"? How much agreement do we have to have before the SJR can just say "carbon dioxide causes global warming"? Is it enough that, politically, there is bipartisan agreement? How about that three major energy associations now not just agree that carbon dioxide causes global warming, but are calling for compulsory carbon caps. Ditto ExxonMobile. Or check out long-time warming skeptic Ron Bailey talking about how he came to believe he'd been wrong.
The presence of a few people that deny the connection between HIV and AIDS doesn't lead to this sort of CYA, does it?
