Accepting the findings of scientists forces two points on Republicans that they simply cannot accept politically. One is, that scientists, even when what they say runs counter to popular belief, are reliable. Secondly (and this follows on the first) if scientists are reliable–and correct–it means we have to Do Something.</p> <P>Now, we already have a sharp division in this country between haves and have-nots. In the way of Republican thinking, the Doing Something is going to worsen that, and in fact will probably cost lives. Jobs will be lost as industries retool–and cut their labor forces to be able to afford it–to deal with the problem. Ways of doing business will have to change and whenever that happens, try as we might, people get shoved out of sincure, out of jobs, out of their lives. It will also make us==perhaps–less competitive globally.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/11FB80D4-DF52-4FD0-A5A0-07FB39D3D38C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
