...President, you have to do all the ridiculous things people expect candidates to do, including answering the same dumb question for the 112th time. You can't be above it all or behave as if you think the Republic is lucky to have you. Voters and reporters want to see how much you want it. So kiss more babies, eat Polish sausages and don't bother issuing that 37-page report on your prescription-drug benefit plan, and I'll tell...

Often described as a champion to political conservatives and industrial interests, he has become famous for statements such as "we don't have any evidence that [global warming] is a serious problem." On the basis of his own climate model, Lindzen has so far argued that...
...that climate change will have negative effects on our economy. Although the summary of the IPCC assessment itself acknowledged the need for further research, it did not fail to mention the many negative consequences due to global warming, even if it follows the middle path as predicted in the report...
