I have some fool of a textbook that proposes to argue both sides of
the environmental debate. It is not unused in education, BTW. IT does
not argue empirically at all, but rather makes claims about what
interest is behind what group. Totally meaningless and absolutely
unscientific. Who owns a publication has absolutely nothing at all to
do with the validity of published data. Of course, as we know, the
left notoriously draws conclusions from pure speculation and calls it
sceince..and whether anyone else does it or not is irrelevant to that
fact, and we can watch Maddow and Olbermann tonight for examples of
this if you wish, and thus no one on the left is in any position to
assail any one else's credibility in this area. At the very worst,
anyone else is no worse than you!

Who said rising sea levels were going to drive coastal residents
