That would mean he is a biologist, ecologist, geologist, etc, which he is not.<br /><br />He is a political "scientist" who is a "Professor in the Environmental Studies Program" (according to his own website).<br /><br />One must be very careful when reading Young's peices to read between the lines -- and not to take any statement at face value.<br /><br />I used to read the Boston Globe becasue i got tired of stuff like Young's.

Hence the old saw about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure.<br /><br />It is also just basic common sense that<br />"<br />Climate change will affect the basic elements of life for people around the world –<br />access to water, food production, health, and the environment. Hundreds of millions<br />of people could suffer hunger, water shortages and coastal flooding as the world<br />warms."<br /><br />Many of the things that might be done to reduce emissions (eg, efficiency improvements -- ie, better gas mielage) will actually SAVE money, so the conclusions of the Stern report -- that adressing the problem now will cost less 9over the long term) than not doing so -- make perfect sense. <br /><br />Unfortunately, common sense is not driving this issue. Instead, monied interests are. <br /><br />Anyone who says otherwise is just kidding himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-5259397175572299752007-01-15T17:07:00.000-05:002007-01-15T17:07:00.000-05:00Pielke is wetting his pants because some write fro...Pielke is wetting his pants because some write from Reason magazine cited him in her Boston Globe column.<br /><br />Wonder how much money Reason has taken from Exxon Mobil?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419386289006475522noreply@blogger.com
