What we do from a policy point of view is one thing, what the science says is another. If you are going to speak about a topic, at least educate yourself about it first and learn to think critically. Don't just accept whatever comes across your desk from some obvious partisan screed. You might start by going to: www.realclimate.org. Now, I suppose you might say that all climate scientist are liberal, but that's to deny reality. The truth of the matter is I run into all sorts. Mostly middle of the road types. Some far lefties as well as some gun-toting right-wingers. While we may talk about policy, there isn't much debate about what all the data is saying. In any field as large and complex as climate science, there's always someone who has a rant and gets the media's attention. Carter gets a number of things wrong, and also omits several other important pieces of the whole climate science 'puzzle'. You ought to look at what he says a bit more critically and ask "If everyone thinks he's wrong, why is that?"
