POPSBetter Sorry than Safe: Torture and Global Warming It seems that there is a wild inconsistency here that betrays the priorities of the Bush administration. Bush justifies the use of what ammounts to torture when it comes to "The War On Terror" because he argues even if we are making a mistake, it's better to be safe than sorry. On the other hand, when it comes to "Global Warming" Bush and his ilk have stubornly resisted doing anything, even the meekest of protective measures, until a perpetually shifting level of scrutiny and evidence is met. Their logic is this: we still don't have enough evidence, so it is better to be cautious (no matter how much evidence is presented). They argue that acting without evidence might open the door to limits on our liberties that would lead down a slippery slope to state-ism. It is more important to maintain the ironclad protections of the "Free Market" then to combat the hypothetical risks of global warming. Why the disconnect?
