Global Warming Hysteria Is To Blame; Fortunately, That's So B.P.

Global warming hysteria played a major role in turning conservatives off of alleged expertise--though it was only part of what did it.
On the bright side, I'm inclined to think that such Before Plague nonsense will fade into the background now that we've blown at least $2.2 trillion and the economy is in the crapper.
After all: we only have ten years left to implement the GND...and that's not going to happen now.
