My apologizes for not writing yesterday...I was working hard on a big blog entry which I finally got up at HuffingtonPost. I felt there was a need to clarify my views on Al Gore's scientific accuracy--especially with respect to hurricanes--and I've taken the occasion of Gore's recent testimony to do so. My two cents: There are definitely things that you can critique about An Inconvenient Truth in this regard. But when you put Gore alongside critics like Joey Barton and Jimmy Inhofe, there's simply no doubt who takes the science seriously, and who doesn't.
