sereneMy mom sent me Ben Stein's "Get Off His Back" essay in email.

someotherguy's response was brilliant.
1) Ben Stein is not a climatologist.
2) Ben Stein is not a civil engineer.
3) Ben Stein is not an environmentalist.
4) Ben Stein is an actor. Sort of.
5) People who are climatologists say that global warming is real
6) People who are climatologists say that George Bush's policies have made it worse.
7) People who are civil engineers have been warning about the levees in New Orleans for years.
8) People who are environmentalists have been warning about the loss of wet lands around New Orleans for years.
9) The Bush administration has been ignoring climatologists, civil engineers and environmentalist for years, and listening instead to oil company PR men. Literally -- He has appointed a PR flacks to posts that should have gone to real scientists.
10) Ben Stein is one more person in a long line of non-scientists that Bush supporters trot out from time to time to contradict the care, research, and reasoned opinions of real scientists.
11) I'll stick with real science, thanks.
