Science

I agree with Glenn about this experiment:

“But tampering with the environment is risky, they say, so any experiments must be carried out responsibly and transparently, with the involvement of the scientific community and proper governance.”

I’m inclined to agree, but I’d be more inclined if climate scientists had demonstrated more professional responsibility themselves.

No kidding.

George McGovern

Was he a McGovernite?

It is amazing how far to the left the party has drifted over the decades since. I don’t think my father, who died a third of a century ago would recognize it. I actually had a McGovern sticker patching up a tear in the rear window of my MGA in 1972, but I was a callow youth, slightly too young to vote. If I hadn’t been, it would have been the other vote that I regretted (the first one was for Carter in 1976 — I wised up by 1980).
