Will on Gore

I look forward to viewing the Stewart pieces when I can turn on my speakers without awakening anyone.

Meanwhile, here is something that ought definitely to be put down and avoided, George F. Will's Lomborgoid slam of Al Gore and the Nobel Peace Prize, in the latest Newsweek:

He does not even mention Gore by name, so subtly does his razor slice.

"Who's overreacting?!"

That is magnificent. Note the split-second of the interview with George F. Will, by the way, among the hysterical pack.

That Mother Sophia just can't get any breaks, can she.

I have been trying to get the Anwar Sadat action figure for years, to go with my Menahem Begin, but somebody always outbids me on eBay.

A Warming Syncretism

What we need is a new envirommental Syncretism.

Syncretism '07

We need to find the parts of Green and the parts of Red (NeoCon Republicanism) that we can agree upon.

Here Will and Lomborg offer the olive branch, lowering speed limits, and you take the branch and hit them in the face with it!

I too, have read Lomborg's book, as well as the book "Carfree Cities" and come to as much the same conclusion, especially as pertains to bicycle traffic:

If You Can't Stop Them; Slow Them Down

Without regard to causation, why can't we build a policy to put humanity and freedom back into daily life by promoting walking and bike riding and lowering the speed limit, especially in urban or dense suburban areas (my post proposes a max 20 mph).

This policy will "trickle up" back into less CO2 production.
