Know Nothing Inquisition

Know Nothing Inquisition

by digby

Charles Krauthamer has become a radical climate change denier. But what’s cute about it is that he switches the traditional role of religion and science in these disputes to do it:

Look, if Godzilla appeared on the Mall this afternoon, Al Gore would say it’s global warming, because the spores in the South Atlantic Ocean, you know, were. Look, everything is, it’s a religion. In a religion, everything is explicable. In science, you can actually deny or falsify a proposition with evidence. You find me a single piece of evidence that Al Gore would ever admit would contradict global warming and I’ll be surprised.

It took the Catholic Church four centuries to renounce what they did to Galileo — the father of modern science. I don’t think we can wait that long on climate change.
