Supreme Court: Maybe there is something to this Global Warming Thing
The Supreme Court today suggested that the EPA ought to do some studies to figure out how what to do about greenhouse gasses instead of putting their fingers in their air and saying, "...nah, nah, nah, we can't hear you" to the scientists and policy makers who actually give a damn about improving people's lives. The irony of course is that the best insurance for future prosperity given the certainty that hydrocarbons as cheap energy will exhaust this century is renewable energy. Since renewable energy is carbon neutral, the issue is when not if. Since the science shows that sooner is better than later, the denialists are their own worst enemy.
