Guzzling the Kool-Aid: Global Warming

With apologies to the Roseville Conservative, I'll be adopting the Kool-Aid Man. Today's Kool-Aid Award goes to the entire right wing, specifically the types who are arguing that the newly released NAS report on global warming is somehow ambiguous.

From Electricity Daily (!):

The NAS report casts serious doubts on the conventional scientific wisdom of man-made climate warming, particularly as described by political advocates such as former Vice President Al Gore. … Those who argue that solar activity drives global climate, not CO2, will take heart.

In fact, the report specifically states that “human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming.” Moreover, as ThinkProgress noted, the report factored in the natural variations in temperature — volcanic activity, solar radiation, etc. — and concluded that these can’t explain the warming trend.

So there you have it, gentlemen: a report commissioned by a repug, Sherwood Boehlert, from the National Academy of Sciences, delivered to the United States Congress, that tells you that global warming is real and happening right now. The question today is whether you'll continue to make fools of yourselves, as you have been for the last three decades, by saying it just ain't so, or help the rest of us come up with colutions. And anyone who denies global warming going forward must be considered guilty of guzzling the electric Kool-Aid acid.
