Its disheartening (but predictable) to see the debate on global warming become so politicized. If you're republican, global warming, and especially man made global warming, is a myth. If you're a democrat its real and imminent. Simplistic perhaps but too real.
It would be refreshing to see politicians simply assume a bipartisan, objective approach given the potential threat. However, as I think about it, I have no idea how they would do that. We have seen the results of the 9/11 commission. What other methods could be used that wouldn't dissolve into self-interested aggrandizement?
I believe we had better take global warming seriously but legislating against light bulbs is not going to solve much of anything. A coherent, comprehensive and scientifically based methodology that incorporates socio-economic deliberation would be too sane.
Isn't it amazing how politicians can be so ignorant while professing to have all the answers? What is even more ignorant is that we look to them for leadership. MMMMM, maybe Hillary can dig us out of this mess.
