Charles Krauthammer seems to be able to summon ambiguity when it suits him:
I'm not a global warming denier. I'm a global warming agnostic who believes instinctively that it can't be very good to pump lots of CO2 into the atmosphere, but is equally convinced that those who presume to know exactly where that leads are talking through their hats.
Of course, the prudent course of action, when something "can't be very good" and it's fairly plain that the process is irreversible, is to ... well, curb your dog, curtail yourself, act responsibly. The policy question is quite a bit easier than the science question ...
The truth is that Krauthammer's view of the world essentially weighs the current costs against unkown future costs and chooses the current ones, with a certainty under the guise of ambiguity.
HATE AMERICA
Separately, why does Victor Davis Hanson hate America so much? (I couldn't resist, sorry. Let me be the first to question his patriotism and see how he likes it ...)
