After Corbu

This post at Pax Americana does a good job explaining why the global warming “moderates” such as Samuelson are a big part of the problem right now.  Bush’s 28% are going to oppose action on this issue to the death (literally), and real change requires the moderates (read: those Republicans who don’t completely hate science) to come on board.

Not every issue has to have a respectable centrist position, and columnists, if they actually care about what happens in this world, need to stop positioning themself above the fray.  Even if they write for lame publications like Newsweek.
