AGW hysteria? Take a Chill Pill

Common sense from Stanford University Phycicist Robert Laughlin (I think he is one of the Nobel Prize winners that the National Academy of Sciences put on its 'naughty' list for doubting AGW orthodoxy).

He has a brilliant column in The Globe and Mail: "“Common sense tells us that damaging a thing as old as [Earth] is somewhat easier to imagine than it is to accomplish – like invading Russia.'"

Like Bjorn Lomborg, he focuses us on the real threats to our enviornment: habitat destruction, human population pressure and poverty. But of course there isn't nearly as much power and graft in a boring argument like his.

Just ask Al Gore.

Hat tip to my friend Robert Morrissey.
