Listening to Hannity today cite the beliefs of a few hundered scientists that man does not contribute to global warming, as against thousands of scientists who do believe man does contribute to global warming, it occurred to me that if you find someone who believes the earth is flat you don't have to say that "there is a difference of opinion, the jury is still out and to be balanced you have to give the one person who believes the earth is flat the same weight as you would the millions who disagree."
For years and years there was only one person in the world who didn't think that man contributes to global warming and he resided at the Cato Institute. Somehow conservatives picked up his beliefs and started demonizing the idea that man helps create global warming as a "liberal" idea. Would someone please tell me how this came to be a "liberal" idea.
