Drat! Someone asked me if I might be conflating conservative pundit Pat Robertson (Southern Baptist) with conservative pundit Pat Buchanan (definitely Catholic), and I was. Sigh. Both are strongly opposed to the idea of anthropomorphic climate change.
Worst of all, I feel as if I've lost a bet with Michael Cantor, and now have to pay up.
[Edited to say: Hey, if I pay up, then someone will have gotten something worthwhile out of this thread, and I'll still be right. Heh, heh, heh. So, Michael, I'll be sending you a copy of the excellent
Richard Newman's All the Wasted Beauty of the World, published by Able Muse Press last year. While I'm at it, I'll send copies to John Whitworth and Charlie Southerland. And Matt Q, for his hilarious "Subject Change" post announcing the start this thread (
here, if anyone missed it).
I think all of you will love the book, which does not require climate change buy-in. Win-win-win-win. And win, counting me.]
