Andrew Sullivan seizes on a repackaging of yesterday's news to inform the world that the absence of proof equals the absence of evidence. Just for starters, this will surely simplify the global warming debate – since the IPCC is the first to admit that they cannot prove that humans are contributing to global warming, we can now apply Sully-Logic to conclude that there is no evidence of any human influence at all, and nothing to talk about. Andrew Sullivan, global warming denier – who knew?

17. SARAH PALIN ON: "I WON" AND THE DEATH OF BIPARTISANSHIP

"Too bad it took all of three days for the promise to ring hollow.
"Start with Obama's big meeting with top congressional leaders on his signature legislation — the stimulus — on the Friday after his inauguration.

Andrew Sullivan would probably beat David Brooks, but only just – if you were looking for the stupidest conservative who carries water for the left. He’s been tilting left and right ever since he flip-flopped on the Iraq war.

If AGW is such a clear cut problem that requires drastic measures to correct why not just show us the chemical mechanisms by which this occurs? James Hansen has so far REFUSED to show his work as to how he arrived at his conclusions. Science is open to scrutiny. If one does an experiment in the US another team should be able to reproduce the results of that experiment somewhere else in the world yet we are told by the fantastically intelligent Nobel Prize and Oscar winner, Albert Gore, that the ‘debate is over’. Al Gore knows NOTHING of the solubility of gases in liquid. He is, however, a world authority on blowing off hot gasses and running a scam for taxpayer dollars to line his own pockets.
