This is frustrating.... one can no more trust Jeff Jacoby's opinion on
climate change than you can that of Greenpeace's or the Sierra Club.
They all repeat their party's position without nuance, details, or
qualifications, and appear to seek mostly ideological advantage.
As physicists we have learned, if nothing else, that every question --
*every* one -- is complex and sophisticated and has layers and layers of
qualifications and uncertainites and questions within it. There are no
simple answers to anything. Nonetheless, scientific truth can and does
emerge, though it always has a hundred post-it notes attached to the
conclusions. You're, sadly and alas, unlikely to find such humble
thinking in the op-ed writings of dedicated ideologues, or in the
brochures of an organization asking you for money.
