George Will editorial on Gore

Mr Will, I read your Al Gore column from ear to ear, and noticed that you cited no scientific study to discredit the movie, ‘inconvenient truth’ …
Where is the bright effusive mind that we readers expect?

I was shocked to discover that Mr. Will offered nothing except to repeat the elaborate fabric that is normally thrown over the issue by the Republicans. 

Maybe Gore should run for office.
Maybe not.
But he shows courage by telling people what the collaborative sciences have concluded, while you sully his reputation using the Republican position that ‘if it ain’t in the public mind, then it ain’t happening, and lets confuse the public with more paid editorials.’

Holy cow, who is paying you to write a discourse that links global-warming science to the popularity of one man?
Mr Will, I thought you had integrity. Instead I see a joke you portent on the people by discrediting hard public dialog.

I certainly hope your career is not linked to an ‘anti global-warming’ stance if the glaciers melt … which they are certainly doing. Of course, to salvage your soul, you can use the Republican fallback strategy and say the whole mess is God’s retribution, and therefore we humans have no power to correct it. But I don’t buy that weak answer when the validity is linked to a time in history when there were fewer people and fewer ideas.

People today need leaders that will help us see the future and not fall back into superstition and helplessness like earlier times in history.
 
By the way I have been following the sciences, and politics and history since first delivering newspapers at 13.
It is obvious that the world changes, and more obvious when looking at layers of exposed rock along any highway berm that the world changes abruptly.

Mr Will, next time you drive somewhere, just glance over at the layers of exposed rock along the highway and ask yourself what causes layers of rock to suddenly stop and a different material is deposited over the top? What causes the world to change abruptly?

Let me suggest an answer. The geology of our planet operates just like world politics.
You’ve seen it over and again where one critical event causes politics to suddenly roll over and start a new era.
Look at New Orleans and what happened to Bush. The earth is similar and acts like a boat gradually filling with water, and when suddenly a critical point is reached, the thing rolls over.

Al Gore is repeating this scientific insight to Americans, so why are you impeding talk about planetary physics?

Is your goal simply to maintain allegiance to the Republicans?
If that’s the case then I offer that you are getting paid to write whatever the corporate sponsors will pay for. And buddy, those lies are an inconvenient truth.
