An Inconvenient Duel

Which eco-disaster “truth” will prevail?

Global Warming believers should read this article about some worried Americans.

Global Cooling believers should read this article about some worried Russians.

Skeptics (including me) will just have to wait for the scientists to finish slugging it out before we'll know whether “saving the planet” will require us to (a) junk our SUVs, or (b) rev them up more frequently. 

And while we’re waiting for the scientists to work it out, we might want to ponder something Richard Feynman said.  It crosses my mind every time I hear political partisans talking about science of any kind (meteorology, economics, you name it):

...reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
