Not A Science--It's a Religion

Like John Kerry, Sir David King, the UK's chief scientific advisor, is panicked about global warming. In Science magazine, King said "climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today - more serious than the threat of terrorism." Dr. Roy Jenkins rubbishes that view:

[P]unishing the production of energy (which is the net effect of the Kyoto Protocol) . . . will lead to much greater social and political instability around the world than current terrorist organizations can currently muster. Al Qaeda would become a minor player in a chaotic world where political and social unrest are the norm.

If only Kerry and Sir David were engaged in harmless hype--but they actually believe it! Science is supposed to be grounded on evidence--of which little exists. Isn't this stretching faith a bit far?
