I LOVE Bill Kristol.
Chris W. asks Mr. Kristol, "Do you buy it?"
and his piece de resistance:
"The whole Global Warming Hysteria is OVER."
He's clear & concise, & doesn't let a whole lot get past him.
Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace stated today Climate Scientists are saying record snow falls across the country (get this) - far from disprove global warming - but actually prove or fit their 'model' of GW. Mr. Wallace sums up the rationale: "rising temperatures warm the oceans, creates more moisture; when that combines with cold air: snow."
Chris W. asks Mr. Kristol, "Do you buy it?"
Bill Kristol responds (chuckling), "It's wonderful to have a model where you can account for both less snow & more snow, & both prove you point."
More serious, he continues, "Phil Jones...the climate scientist who is the HUGE advocate of the climate change & GW hypothesis (who was in the center of the climategate scandal), said a couple of days ago in a BBC interview ...that during the Medieval Warming Period (1000-1400 AD) the earth may have been warmer than it is now. That's why Greenland was called Greenland...it was green in the southern part of Greenland. You could actually grow things there [& milder climate allowed for Viking colonization of the land]...that's a HUGE concession. Their whole premise has been, 'we are in an unprecedented moment of GW.' They're now having to retreat even from that."
Not done yet, Mr. Kristol continues to the finale, "We're now going to have a complicated scientific debate for the next 20, 30, 40 years, take some incremental steps to adjust a few things, but..."
and his piece de resistance:
"The whole Global Warming Hysteria is OVER."
I'm all-for-hoping his piece de resistance proves correct.
