I understand where Jim Manzi is and what he is doing. But I’d be cautious not to give too much aid and comfort to the idea that conservatives are anti-science.

As Jim, I think, would be the first to say, there’s a lot wrong with global-warming “science,” there is a lot unproven and legitimately contradicted by real scientists dealing with science.

Free markets use science, and even develop science, and promote all kinds of cutting-edge innovations.

Conservatism certainly doesn’t reject science. And I don’t know a lot of conservatives who do.
