- Here is a reply I posted in the NY Times today to a comment about a Gail Collins piece. The commenter complained that Collins didn't provide a mathematical scientific explanation of climate change.

Gosh, I hope you don't expect to get climate science from political/social columnists, whether Gail or Rush. What I get from Gail is humorous and insightful perspectives on current issues. As an intelligent non-idealogue she seems to accept the preponderance of scientific evidence that humans are effecting climate and rightfully comments that Republicans are against what previously they supported. Like the Know Nothings of 160 years ago Republicans are blind to anything that differs from their beliefs, but now want to stop government to assuage their social/religious/economic/scientific opinions that are typically unsupported by data. I recommend that citizens do read scientists' explanations of climate, starting with "Scientific American", "Science News", or science websites such as "Real Climate - Climate Science from Climate Scientists" (http://www.realclimate.org).
