Why you should never listen to Gregg Easterbrook…
…who in his role as a repetitive but mildly amusing football commentator often digresses to pronounce on cosmology, faith and climate science, and has now come up with this doozy:
“…regarding Al Gore, who employed the Bali stage to denounce the United States”
Did I say doozy? I meant disgrace. Easterbrook, long a climate change skeptic, has come around lately, but he seems unable to avoid blaming others for the length of time it took him to figure things out.
Here’s what Gore actually said:
“My own country the United States is principally responsible for obstructing progress in Bali,”
Is that a denunciation? Looks like an accurate description of what the US delegation at Bali, under instructions from the Bush administration back in Washington, was doing throughout that meeting.
Does Easterbrook know this? Probably. But Easterbrook has a history of ignoring the obvious when it confounds his story line. Caveat lector.
