If Laurie David really believes, as she apparently told Karl Rove, that the science is so settled on global warming that we don’t need to fund any research any more, then I hope she’ll back an immediate reduction in the Climate Change Science Program, Climate Change Research Initiative and US Global Change Research Project budgets from their ridiculously bloated $3.5 billion levels.
Of course, without all the models as the basis for alarming headlines, the issue might be left to the economists, and then things might get a little more difficult.
